FY-DOS Manual For Fix-wing Control 

Installation & Operation

 

 

Dear Customer: 

Thank  you  for  choosing  DOS  as  your  autopilot  system.  Please  read  this  manual  carefully  before 

using the system to ensure proper use and operation. 

The installation and use of this device require some skill and knowledge in flying remote controlled 

fixed wing aircraft.   

 

If you are a complete beginner and have never flown one before, we do not recommend you install 

this device on your own.   

 

Please find assistance from an experienced RC pilot who may provide you with the basic knowledge 

required to use this device successfully.   

 

If you are already an experienced flyer, you will find the DOS installation to be easy and logical. Just 

follow this manual and you won’t go wrong. 

If you need any technical support you can send e-mail directly to:

Operating principle 

 

Attitude Flight Stabilization System (AFSS) 

DOS module   

DOS is an inertial attitude measurement instrument. Now version V1.1 used for automated stabilization of 

fixed wing model aircrafts,but after upgrade firmware can be used for other aircraft and equipment control (For 

more details of DOS,please refer to the latest firmware and instrctions)

 

DOS  has  integrated  three-axis  gyro  ,three-axis  accelerometer,three  axis  magnetometer  and  barometric 

pressure sensor. DOS can accurately measuring flight attitude, the earth azimuth and through the barometer to 
measure relative altitude. Through the sensor measurement data combined with attitude control can realize 
the  Stabilized  Mode,  3D  Mode,  Return  To  Launch  Mode,  Fixed  altitude  and  Heading  lock  flight  Mode,  Auto 
Circling Mode and so on.

 

 

GPS module   

GPS module enables the DOS to calculate the flight course and exact location of the aircraft. DOS has 

three navigation mode :Return To Launch, Auto Circling and Heading lock,You can activate any of navigation 
modes after connecting GPS. 

Altitude control 

DOS use the barometer to measure relative height, through the elevator servo and throttle control to 

realize the flying altitude control.   

Heading control 

Without GPS module,DOS through the three axis magnetometer to measure the heading angle,use the 

aileron servo and rudder servo to control flying heading. But will be affected by the wind then deviate from the 

original route.
