SETUP / ADJUSTMENT
After installation, the system must be tuned to heli and transmitter, which fi rst includes adaptation of the transmitter to the system, followed by setting up the system to the
model. The PC software includes a setup wizard at the bottom screen, guiding you swiftly and easily through all the required steps without missing anything. Additionally
there are helpful mouse-over hints available for each parameter in the software, as well as additional notes in the [Help] menu.
At this point please open the software and start the setup wizard.
And prior to this, do not miss to read the following notes 1-3!
1. IMPORTANT NOTE IN CASE OF USE WITH TURBINE HELICOPTERS!
Only for systems with serial number < 70-x-x (Delivery prior to December 2013):
If running a turbine, it is mandatory to apply the protective hood, available as accessory, protecting the unit from the infl uence of ultrasonic sound. Newer
system are not affected, as their sensors are resistant to ultra-acoustic noise.
2. IMPORTANT BEFORE FIRST FLIGHT AND AFTER ANY CHANGES!
EXTENDED CONTROL TEST INCLUDING A DIRECTION TEST FOR ALL THREE GYRO DIRECTIONS
a) When the model is ready to fl y, check the neutral positions and directions of all stick functions and for all servos. If the swashplate shows an increasing tilt while
increasing the head gyro gain, this must be related to wrong transmitter neutral trim (step 4, b in particular).
b) Check directions of all three sensor axes, as a wrong direction would fairly lead to a crash. Briefl y move the model to and fro about all three axes, tilting and turning.
Swashplate and tail must initially respond with the opposite action, i.e. swashplate wants to stay horizontal against rolling and tilting, and front side of the tail rotor
blades move opposite to the tail swivel direction, i.e. tail rotor blows in the direction of its swivel movement. In the event of errors, a mistake must be either in the
direction of the bars in the [Diagnose] menu or in the ‚mounting orientation‘ setting.
c) RC range test.
3. [ALL] MENU: BACKUP OF ALL SETTINGS IN THE PC
Data backup is optional, since all settings are stored permanently in the device, unless they are overwritten by new values or a factory reset. It also makes sense to
save settings when carrying out tests with various parameters. If the result is not satisfying, you can easily restore the prior data by loading the backup.
