The reason for making the PITCH stick in the center when helicopter is hovering by adjusting 

PITCH curve is to set them as the corresponding fail safe positions in the next step [fail safe setting].

   

4.2 Fail Safe Setting 

The purpose of setting fail safe is to let helicopter hover still under fail safe 

mode when it loses signals from remote controller. Tips as followings:

 

1)

 

The fail safe position has already been set as 0% (center) when users do PC 
software setting. 

2)

 

Set other channels as hovering center points in he fail safe option of remote 
control, to make it convenient for XP3.1 to supervise if the communication of 
remote control is normal and respond in time. 

3)

 

To  observe  if  the  green  LED  Status  Indicator  will  flash  after  turning  off  the 
remote controller. 

4.3 Compass Calibration 

1)

 

【Entering into the Compass Calibration Mode】:

Under the manual mode, 

shift  the  autopilot/manual  switch  to  and  fro  ten  times  quickly  (being  back 
and forth as one time).then it will enter the compass calibration status and 
the green LED will be constantly on。 

2)

 

【Horizontal Axis Calibration】:

When the red LED is off, keep the helicopter 

horizon (the white LED will be constantly on) and rotate the helicopter 3-4 
circles slowly in horizon. When rotating, make the white LED on as constantly 
as  possible.  (Refer  the  video  of  compass  calibration  for  details).  After 
finishing the calibration of horizontal axis, continue that of the vertical axis. 

Attention: 

If the white LED is off, it means the helicopter deviate from the horizontal 

angle too much. Then, users should adjust the position of helicopter, and keep 
it at the horizontal position and do rotation again.

 

3)

 

【Vertical  Axis  Calibration】:

When  erect  the  helicopter  (head  down),  the 

red LED will constantly on. Then keep the white LED constantly on and rotate 
the  helicopter  3-4  circles  slowly  by  the  longitudinal  axis  (refer  the  video  of 
compass calibration for details). 

4)

 

【Whether to Save the Calibration Date】

: 

a)

 

Saving  Calibration  Data:

Shift  the  autopilot/manual  switch  ten  times 

quickly,  then  all  three  LED  will  flash  for  5  seconds,  which  means  the 
success  of  the  data  saving  and  the  existing  from  the  compass 
calibration  mode(the  green  LED  will  be  off).  Please  restart  the  system
