other layout of small and medium size aircraft.

 

 Automatic navigation and driving of all kinds of airship. 

 

 

Macro Feathers   

„

 

FY3-ZT provide high-precision attitude through to use 32 ARM7microprocessors, integrate 
GPS receiver, three-axis MEMS gyro, three-axis accelerometers, pressure altimeter, inertial 
strapdown attitude algorithm and combined with Kalman digital filtering and data fusion 
algorithms . 

„

 

Integrated UBLOX 5th generation GPS receiver, 4Hz output, 35 seconds fast positioning time 
and accuracy of 2.5 meters CEP. 

„

 

50HZ inner attitude control, 4HZ outer navigation control. 

„

 

Multi-channel mixed-control output can be easily adjusting the mixed-control. Including 
normal layout none mixed rudder control navigation, elevator and aileron rudder navigation, 
elevator and aileron mixed-control navigation, none ailerons rudder navigation. And can 
adjust the neutral position in real-time.   

„

 

Three kinds of control modes:

 

Manual remote control, Auto balance remote control and

 

Automatic

 navigation control.
