PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING! I WILL NOT RESPOND TO THESE COMON FLYWING H1 QUESTIONS THAT ARE COVERED BELOW:

– What FrSky S-Bus RX are you using with the H1? Answer: X4R-SB

– What is DMA Collective? Answer: It’s collective to tail rotor pre-compensation mixing.

– Will the Flywing H1 work with a Spektrum/JR DSM2/X Radio? Answer: Yes with a Spektrum DSM RX that has an S-Bus output. I believe the aftermarket has a couple but I don’t fly Speky anymore so I’m out of their RX loop. I’ve also heard of Spektrum DSM to S-Bus converters. Use your Google Fu!

– What other radio systems will the H1 work with? Answer: Again, connectivity functionality with the H1 like any flybarless system or flight controller is not radio brand/ RF protocol dependent, it’s receiver dependent. Any 8 channel or better receiver (need 9 channels for full functionality of the H1) that has an S-Bus output port should work.

– Were you able to get rid of the cyclic pitch oscillation from the review video? Answer: Yes, but it’s a compromised gain setting (either flies well in GPS mode or in 3D mode, not both). Experiment with your gains. Fly Wing at minimum MUST separate the two axis of cyclic gain to give us better tuneability. This is a helicopter after all with different mass and inertia components along the roll and pitch axis, not a simple quadcopter.
Of course, try the usual RC helicopter pitch bobbing fixes as well that work with all collective pitch RC helicopter such as softer head dampening, higher head speeds, ensuring CG is bang on, or loosen blade bolts slightly for easier blade lead/lag.

– Even though I cover this in detail in the video as do the instructions, I’m still getting questions on channel mapping order. The H1 uses Futaba’s channel mapping. CH1 Aileron, CH2 Elevator, CH3 Throttle (collective function for the H1), and CH4 Tail Rotor. No, this order can’t be changed within the unit. You also need two, 3 position toggles you can assign CHs 5 & 8 to, and two, 2 position toggles to assign CH’s 7 & 9 to. Channel 6 IS NOT USED.

– So it only works with HV servos? Answer: NO. That’s the best “plug and play” option but not the only option. Anyone in the hobby should know there are several ways to power servos at lower voltages independent of the receiver’s/FBL/control unit’s input voltage. Installing rectifying diodes such as HER 503 in series to each servo’s power input lead for example would be the least expensive. This will drop the input voltage to the servo by about 0.6 to 1.0 volts (load dependent). We have been doing this for years after all when powering 4.8V tail specific servos in 6V power systems. Use your Google Fu to find other servo voltage regulation methods that may be better suited to your particular setup. Of course if you have HV servos or thinking of upgrading to HV servos, that is by far the best option.

– Can you perform the automatic circle & figure 8 function when inverted in GSP autopilot mode? Answer: NO! The H1 will lose collective & or cyclic control of the helicopter if you activate the circle or figure 8 while inverted. I almost crashed why trying this & Fly Wing has also confirmed this.
