ARMING_CHECK 0 (Important: Use only for ground testing. Never disable all pre-arm checks for actual flight, as this may result in loss of the aircraft.)

Disables all pre-arm checks and ignores all requirements.

With throttle at minimum, hold full right yaw for 6 seconds to arm the flight controller. The motor will run when throttle is raised.

To retain pre-arm checks for selected critical functions, enable the applicable items for the aircraft.

Compass compass module 4

Barometer barometer module 2

GPS Lock GPS position lock 8

RC Channels radio channel signal input 64

Example: To require a valid GPS fix and a healthy barometer before arming, enter 10

(8 + 2), then write and save the parameter.

ARMING_RUDDER 2

After landing, hold full left yaw for 6 seconds to disarm the flight controller. The motor will not run when throttle is raised.

FBWA stabilized mode

FBWA stabilized mode

CRUISEaltitude-and-heading hold mode

CRUISEaltitude-and-heading hold mode

Use a two-position switch on radio channel 5 for TAKEOFF mode. In the Full Parameter List, set RC5_OPTION to 77.

Use a two-position switch on radio channel 6 for RTL mode. In the Full Parameter List, set RC6_OPTION to 4.

Use a three-position switch on radio channel 7 for AUTO waypoint mode. In the Full Parameter List, set RC7_OPTION to 16.

Hand-launch mode settings: TK

TKOFF_ALT 100 (sets the TAKEOFF target altitude to 100 m)

TKOFF_DIST 400 (sets the maximum TAKEOFF distance to 400 m)

TKOFF_LVL_PITCH 25 (sets the maximum climb angle in TAKEOFF mode to 25°)

TKOFF_THR_MAX 100 (sets maximum throttle in TAKEOFF mode to 100%)

TKOFF_THR_MINACC 3 (enables throttle output when the flight controller detects an instantaneous speed of 3 m/s)

Failsafe checks: FS

FS_SHORT_TIMEOUT 1.5 (after receiver throttle input is lost for 1.5 seconds, the flight controller executes the first-stage failsafe action)

FS_SHORT_ACTN 1 (first-stage failsafe action: enter CIRCLE and wait; default 0, no action)

FS_LONG_TIMEOUT 5 (if throttle input is not restored within 5 seconds after the first-stage action, execute the second-stage failsafe action)

FS_LONG_ACTH 1 (second-stage failsafe action: execute RTH; default 0, continue current action)

ALT_HOLD_RTL 12000 cm loiter altitude above the home point after RTL; default 10000 cm RTL_ALTITUDE

WP_LOITER_RAD 80 LOITER radius; default 60 m

NAVL1_PERIOD 40 time per orbit; default 17 s

RSSI_TYPE 3 (ELRS,CRSF ) RSSI_TYPE 2 (SIYI )

Refresh parameters

For a SIYI receiver, set RSSI_CHANNEL 16

For a CRSF receiver, set RSSI_CHANNEL 12

For an ELRS receiver, set RSSI_CHANNEL 15

After radio calibration, check the RC15 channel value by searching for RC15.

This applies to an ELRS receiver; for a SIYI receiver, use RC16.

RC15_MAX 2000

RC15_MIN 1000

Airspeed sensor

ARSPD_TYPE 1

After writing the parameter, disconnect and reconnect the flight controller to refresh it.

ARSPD_OPTIONS 15

ARSPD_AUTOCAL 1

ARSPD_SKIP_CAL 1

For initial calibration, select LOITER mode and fly an orbit for 10 minutes.

After landing, disable automatic airspeed sensor calibration.
