[0079] Please refer to the above structure and process. Figure 8 .

[0080] The flight control board 9 controls the operation of the third motor 501, which drives the swing plate 502 to rotate. The swing plate 502 drives the swing arms 503 on both sides to swing, and the swing arms 503 control the bottom yaw of the wing 10.

[0081] Please refer to the above structure and process. Figure 9-12 .
