4.2 Connexions de cablejat
Connect the FC151 to your receiver and servos using appropriate cables. The unit features clearly labeled ports for system power (SYS), aileron (AIL1, AIL2), elevator (ELE), rudder (RUD), and mode selection (MODE). If using S.BUS, refer to your receiver's manual for proper connection to the FC151's S.BUS port.

4.3 Control Surface Types and Mixing
The FC151 supports various aircraft configurations. Ensure your transmitter is set up correctly for the chosen aircraft type, and then configure the FC151 accordingly. The unit supports:
- Single Aileron Aircraft
- Double Aileron Aircraft
- Fly Wing Aircraft (Delta Wing)
- V-Tail Aircraft
Flaperon mixing is also supported. Refer to the diagram below for visual guidance on control surface configurations.

4.4 Ajust de sensibilitat
The FC151 allows independent sensitivity adjustment for aileron (AIL), elevator (ELE), and rudder (RUD) axes. Use a small screwdriver to carefully adjust the potentiometers labeled AIL, ELE, and RUD on the top of the unit. Start with lower sensitivity settings and gradually increase as needed during test flights to achieve desired stability without overcorrection.
4.5 Flight Mode Selection
The FC151 supports different flight modes, including auto-level and modes suitable for aerobatic/3D flying. These modes can be switched via an extra channel on your transmitter, connected to the FC151's MODE input. Consult the LED indicators for current mode status.
5. Funcionament
Once installed and configured, the FC151 will provide stabilization during flight. The system continuously monitors the aircraft's attitude and makes rapid corrections to maintain stability. For advanced users, programming via the onboard button and LEDs allows for fine-tuning of parameters. Refer to the specific programming sequence detailed in the full product manual (if available) or Dualsky's official weblloc per a passos detallats.
Ensure your transmitter is properly calibrated and all control surfaces respond correctly before attempting flight.
6. Manteniment
- Neteja: Mantingueu la unitat neta i lliure de pols i deixalles. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-la.
- Inspecció: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for looseness or damage.

7. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| No power to FC151 | Incorrect wiring, faulty power source, damaged cable. | Check all power connections. Ensure battery is charged. Inspect cables for damage. |
| Unstable flight / Overcorrection | Sensitivity too high, incorrect mounting, vibration. | Reduce sensitivity settings. Re-mount the unit securely. Check for excessive vibrations. |
| Incorrect control response | Incorrect servo direction, wrong aircraft type selected, faulty servo. | Verify servo directions in transmitter. Confirm correct aircraft type setting on FC151. Test servos independently. |
| El canvi de mode no funciona | Extra channel not configured, incorrect wiring to MODE input. | Ensure transmitter channel is assigned and connected correctly to the FC151 MODE input. |
