3. INSTALLATION
To be able to use the AP you need a Radio Controller with at least 6 channels,
with a 2-position and a 3-position switch to navigate through the flight modes.
Please map these switches to CH5 and CH6 respectively. AP needs all these input
channels to access its functions. You need to ensure all 6 channels are connected,
even you don't need some of them, like CH4 (RUD) for a flying wing.
Please secure the Autopilot near the CG of aircraft. For small electric planes, no additional
vibration damping are required, and the AP can be secured with double-sided tape or velcro.
Please refer to the diagram below for typical setup. The arrow on the flight controller case needs
to point to the nose. If the flight controller is installed at Left90°/Right90°/180° - relevant menu
settings must be edited.
As most parameter settings need to be done thru OSD menu, for the first calibration we
recommend connecting the AP video output directly to a monitor.
↘ When Crosshair Autopilot detects the video signal loss, it automatically switches to Internal
synchronous video signal mode, showing the OSD image on black background.
Turn on the radio. CH5 & CH6 switches should be in LOW position (
In technical terms,
around
1000~1200us). Power on your aircraft. If the wiring is correct, you will see the G light and R light
on AP flash twice after powering on, then the OSD appears on the screen.
