Functional test of AttitudeControl
When using AttitudeControl with combined switch channel make sure Attitude-
Control is at least deactivated once before take off. Otherwise the tail gyro gain
would be minimal as the system would not have been able to determine your tail gain
adjustment after initialization.
Also note that in this mode it is absolutely necessary to use a switch that changes
the control directions directly and without intermediate steps. In particular, do not use
a slider on the transmitter! Otherwise, when you activate AttitudeControl the tail gyro
sensitivity would be decreased to 0% before the system turns on the AttitudeControl.
So you would have 0% of tail gyro gain when AttitudeControl is active.
A third alternative is to use the bank switching feature and set the attitude
gains fixed for each flight mode. In this case the AttitudeControl will be active as long
as the flight mode is selected and the Attitude gain is greater than 0%. So you could use
one bank/flight mode for hovering and sports flying, one flight mode for 3D aerobatics and
a third one with angular mode and 50% gain for rescue bailout or hover training. You can
switch between modes using a simple 3-position switch.
Please note that due to the complexity of this feature configuring and enabling bank
switching is only possible with the StudioX software or StudioXm app!
113.3 Functional test of AttitudeControl
When activating AttitudeControl you should be able to see an immediate impact on the
swashplate control: If the heli is tilted to one side, MICROBEAST PLUS permanently
steers the swashplate opposed to the inclination. In the region around horizontal position
the swashplate will always stay nearly horizontal to the ground (note: by default the the
heli will be rolled by 4 degrees to the right, this is to compensate the tail rotor thrust
when hovering!). The system constantly tries to bring the helicopter back to the horizontal
position as long as the helicopter is oblique.
