QQ Yak 54 35cc Aura Info
The Aura 8 Advanced Flight Control System (AFCS) is an optional, but highly recommended accessory to your QQ Yak 54 35cc aircraft.
The Aura 8 AFCS is a 3 axis gyro, servo hub and channel expander all rolled into one device. We have developed the Aura 8 to be compatible with all major radio brands. You no longer need to spend a fortune, nor be restricted to specific radio types to experience state of the art control. The Aura 8 is designed to enhance the pilots experience, while not interfering with the pilots control. Your aircraft will fly as if it were bigger, and in less wind, even though it is as agile as you want it to be.
The Aura 8 Open Stock version ships with a blank configuration that can be configured to virtually any fixed wing aircraft. Our team has spent hours fine tuning the settings for the QQ Yak 54 35cc to offer you an exceptional feel of accuracy and control.
The Aura 8 is programmed thru the Aura Config Tool on a PC. You can use the Aura Config Tool "Wizard" to create a new model preconfigured for the QQ Yak 54. Please follow the steps below for the easiest install and best flying experience!

Center the Control Surfaces
Adjust all control surface to neutral by using Aura sub-trims.
Aura sub-trim can be found by click on “Servo Ports”.
Select the control surface to adjust and adjust sub-trim value as need it.
Measuring the Control Surfaces
If servo arms are connected in the correct location as indicated above, and pushrod length as recommended in the airplane manual, all control surface would be travelling at correct deflection. In case of Ailerons, make sure that right and left aileron travel same up a and down (no differential) For both elevator halves also make sure they are travelling equally up and down. If you find differences (most possible) go to “Servo Port” Tab and adjust the respective channel using “Servo Output Scaling”. Note: When you adjust control surface travel make sure there is no binding.
Control Direction and Gyro Direction Testing
Do the tests as described in the manual
