Flying with AttitudeControl
Figure 143
In the modes rescue bailout and 3D - Mode the system will also control the collective
pitch when it tries to rotate the heli back into level position. Here the maximum amount
of pitch is determined by the setting AttitudeControl Pitch in PARAMETER MENU
(Point M). When using the mode ”rescue bailout with pitch” or ”3D - Mode with pitch”,
additionally it will keep this pitch angle when level position is reached. Then the pilot
only can add collective pitch in the same direction, but not in the opposite direction.
Check to see if this works correctly and whether the control directions are correct. If the
helicopter is kept in hovering position, some positive collective pitch must be applied by
AttitudeControl and you can use the thrust stick to add more positive pitch, but not
less. Analogous this must work when the heli is in inverted hovering position if using
the ”3D - Mode with pitch”. Here AttitudeControl will apply some negative collective
pitch and you can only add more negative pitch, but not positive.
113.4 Flying with AttitudeControl
If not done already, for the first flight keep AttitudeControl deactivated and adjust all
flight parameters like tail gyro gain, cyclic gain and so on as described in this manual.
If the heli is set up well you can familiarize yourself with the effect of AttitudeControl. For
this we suggest to use the ”Bail out rescue mode”. Fly the helicopter in a sufficient amount
of height in a stable hover and activate the AttitudeControl by using the appropriate
