Gyro settings
Gyro settings are used to automatically control the gyro's gain
in
different flight modes. It may be set to different values in
NOR, ST1, ST2, and ST3 flight modes, allowing you to pick the
gain
you need for each circumstance. The Gyro settings
Control
the output at receiver CH5. You cannot independently
control
this channel with a switch or slider.
Using Gyro Settings
1. Press one of the Up Down Edit buttons repeatedly to get to
the
GYRO menu. To begin with, the function is inhibited. Press
one
of the Cursor keys to activate it. Once activated,
it's set to 50% in all fou
r
fli
g
ht modes.
Setting Up Throttle Hold
1. Press one of the Up Down Edit buttons until the H0LD
window appears. The default is for the function to be
inhibited.
To activate the throttle hold function, press the
down
Data -Decrease key. This will cause the flashing INH
display
to change to a -6% value with an ON or OFF display,
depending
on the SW-1 switch's position.
2. Now you can adjust the throttle hold position with the Data
+Increase or -Decrease keys, anywhere between -50 and
+50% (to return to the default 0%, press the Active/Inhibit
(Clear) key).
2. To set the mixing amount for the normal ( NOR ) flight mode,
flip
the Flt. Mode (SW-4) switch all the way forward. NOR
will be flashing on and off. Set the percentage to yield the
desired
gyro gain (this is usually a high-gain setting). If for
some
reason you want a 0% setting, press the Active/
Inhibit (Clear) key.
3. Flip the Flt. Mode (SW-4) switch to its center position. ST1
will be flashing on and off. Set the percentage to yield the
desired
gyro gain in this flight mode (this will usually be a
lower-gain
setting for reduced damping in stunts).
4. Flip the Flt. Mode (SW-4) switch all the way aft . ST2 will b
e
Flashing on and off. Set the percentage to yield the desire
d
gyro gain.
5. Now flip the SW-1 switch fully down. You may now input a
setting
for ST3.
6. Make some test flights to try these settings out. Take note
of
when more gain is need, and when less gain is needed.
You
can adjust all of the gyro settings in each flight mode to
suit
your machine.
3. Check that your throttle goes to the desired hold position b
y
flipping the selected on-off switch one way and the other
.
Adjust the number as needed. Be sure to choose an engin
e
speed that's fast enough to keep the engine from accidentall
y
quitting but slow enough to not engage the main rotor clutch.
4.
You may select which ON-OFF switch turns this function on.
See
the Switch Select instructions on P. 53 for information
on
how to select the ON-OFF switch.
HOLD
-
Throttle Hold
The Throttle Hold function moves the engine throttle servo to a
selected
position near idle, and disengages it from the throttle
stick.
It is commonly used during autorotation, and activated
with
the SW-1 switch on the left front of the transmitter. You can
set
the throttle position to be held over a -50 to +50% range
centered
about the throttle idle position. Activating throttle hold
also
disables revolution mixing ( RVMX ).
