Versions and applications

HeliCommand 3A
This basic Version is not suitable for aerobatics and 3D manoeuvres
(no inverted ight is allowed, or the unit would have to be re-powered
before using the stabilisation again).
The HeliCommand 3D and RIGID are designed specically for this type of ying!
HeliCommand 3D and above
For brief 3D ying (inverted ight or single turn-around manoeuvres) the “yellow”
horizontal mode can be left switched on to provide support. This mode provides
stabilisation in normal ight and inverted ight. You can still override the
stabilisation manually. The degree of manual control can be varied using the
pilot channel, and a wide range of additional adjustment facilities is available
using the PC adaptor.
One particular use is for switching between positive and negative hovering.
The stabilisation can also be switched on for use as an “emergency knob”,
but please note the following points in this regard:
3D manoeuvres
For agile 3D manoeuvres with a multitude of subsequently own rolls, loopings
etc, even the HeliCommand 3D should be switched to OFF (red) beforehand,
and not switched on again until at least 15 - 20 seconds after the manoeuvring
has nished. The same applies to multiple stall-turns, since these may affect
the horizontal neutral detection under certain circumstances.
HeliCommand RIGID
Activating RIGID mode using the PC adaptor minimises the effects of wind
gusts and ballooning when ying into wind or in high speed.
In this mode unrestricted 3D ying and aerobatics are possible, and can be
carried out with excellent accuracy.
When you switch on horizontal or position stabilisation, the same applies as
stated for the HeliCommand 3D; see above.
