or load heavy gimbal/mapping/multispectral cameras for inspection and survey jobs. It can realize 2.5H
endurance with 7kg payload.
The whole body of AYK-350 VTOL adopts quick-detach design, including the wings, arms and tail part,

convenient for loading different task equipment, it can load max.10kg payload. Foxtech AYK-350 is
made of carbon fiber and composite material, which makes the whole body light and durable, the
aerodynamic design and smooth surface ensure a low air resistance. AYK-350 has three reserved
GPS positions, so it can be equipped with dual GPS(DGPS) to improve positioning accuracy,
anti-interference ability and flight stability.
With large loading capacity, long flight time and stable flight performance AYK-350 VTOL can be used for
cargo delivery, for inspection and survey by loading different gimbal cameras or mapping cameras,
such as Foxtech 10x/30x zoom cameras, 3DM-V4 oblique camera and MS600 multispectral camera

Although the accelerometer was calibrated already for the PNP version before shipping, please calibrate
it again since it might be affected in the transportation.
Under Initial Setup, select Accel Calibration from the left-side menu. Mission Planner will prompt you to
place the vehicle each calibration position. Press any key to indicate that the autopilot is in position and
then proceed to the next orientation.
The calibration positions are: level, on right side, left side, nose down, nose up and on its back.
1.Calibrate the Accelerometer
Click this button to begin accelerometer
calibration.
This accelerometer trim can be used
to level the HUD horizon.
1. I’t is important that the vehicle is kept still immediately after pressing the key for each step.
2.The level position is the most important to get right as this will be the attitude that your
controller considers level while flying.

Onboard calibration produces better results.
2. Compass Calibration
AYK-350 VTOL uses high sensitivity compass and it has to be re-calibrated when fly in a new place.
Enter the compass setting page and click”start” , hold the plane and rotate it in order to hit all directions
on a sphere to calibrate the compass, when it’s done, a new offset would be given to the flight controller,
and a reboot is necessary.
3. Radio Control Calibration
Calibrating each of the transmitter controls/channels is a straightforward process - simply move each of
the enabled sticks/switches through their full range and record the maximum and minimum positions.
