What is AttitudeControl and how to use it
ticotcs. As you can override the AttitudeControl by adding some cyclic stick input even
you could let AttitudeControl activated for a longer time, so the system guides you like
a helping hand. I.e. when you make a front flip you only have to concentrate on giving
correct collective pitch input. The elevator does not have to be as precise, as the exact
leveling when reaching inverted hovering position is done by attitude control, even the
system will pull the helicopter into level position, once it is tilted more than 90 degrees
to the front. Please note the system will not level the heli into on or the other direction
when it is in vertical position. This makes it more comfortable to fly around and perform
loopings or knife edge flying while 3D Mode is active!
Besides the general choice from theses 5 Modes (Angular Mode, Bailout rescue, Bailout
rescue with Pitch, 3D - Mode, 3D - Mode with Pitch) you can adjust more options with
the StudioX Software or StudioXm App. For example you can add some boost pitch
for a short amount of time so the helicopter gains height quickly, or you can lock the
thrust stick input. These options are described later in detail. Also note that when using
Bankswitching (Flight mode switching) you can set different Attitude modes and options
for each flight mode and tweak the system to your likings even more.
113.2 Activating AttitudeControl in flight
Separate channel
Usually we use a separate free channel on the transmitter to activate/deactivate
the AttitudeControl during operation. When this channel is moved into one direction,
the AttitudeControl is off, when you switch it into the other direction the AttitudeControl
will be activated and your helicopter will be leveled when you release the sticks for aileron
and elevator. Here the amount of deflection determines how strong the system reacts and
how hard it tries to keep the helicopter in level position (and in consequence how hard
it is to control the heli against). So what you need on transmitter side as a switch that
controls the AttitudeControl channel (which channel number this is you setup when doing
the receiver and function assignments in RECEIVER MENU!). When the switch is in OFF
Position the channel is moved into one direction, i.e. to -100% throw. Now when you flip
the switch in order to activate the AttitudeControl, the channel is moved into the other
direction, i.e. to +50%. In this case the AttitudeControl will activate with a gain of 50%.
The amount of gain/channel deflection must be tuned to your liking later when flying, 50
is usually a good starting point. If you don't want so hard reaction of the system, i.e.
when you want to fly while the 3D mode is active for a longer time, you will lower the gain
to maybe 30. If you want very quick and instand turn around you may raise the value to
