7. Setting up flight mode 5 (AUTO-
ROTATION)
The first step here is to select AUTO-ROTATION
by moving the switch S06 to the active position.
The COLLECTIVE PITCH curve
We leave this as a 3-point curve with full travel.
The TAIL ROTOR curve
This curve is automatically OFF and replaced by a
FIXED VALUE. The result is that the tail rotor is now
controlled exclusively by the YAW stick. The default
setting for the fixed value is 0%.
The THROTTLE curve
This curve is also switched off and replaced by a fixed
value. If you select the THROTTLE curve for the
transmitter control COLLECTIVE PITCH while in the
AUTO-ROTATION flight mode, the menu will look like
this:
\iI
V@YDEiiXi\V@Q.?ADVNS
[DNE.VBEWF
-iii@LLiiiiiiii+]
If you now press twice to open the select field, the
menu looks like this:
\iI
V@YDEiiXi\V@Q.?ADVNS
[DNE.VBEWF
iiiiLAUFKiWIQ.5]
The +100% value flashes.
If you wish to practise auto-rotation with the motor
running, set a FIXED VALUE for throttle at which the
motor keeps running reliably.
Of course, if you want to practise „genuine“ auto-
rotations you can set the value to 0% so that the mo-
tor cuts out.
8. Setting up extra flight modes
As you have seen, setting up a flight mode is neces-
sarily a fairly complex task.
However, if you don’t wish to repeat the entire proce-
dure for each new flight mode there is a useful short-
cut: you can take mode 1 (Hover) as the basis and
copy it into another flight mode.
Starting from the operating screen this is the proce-
dure:
Button Effect and further steps
Menu 3, call up Copy flight mode
Open select field „from“ (flashes)
Use / to select the fli
ht mode
which is to be copied. In our example
this must be „Hover“.
Open select field „to“ (flashes)
Use / to select the destination for
the new copy of the completed fli
ht
mode „Hover“. In our example we will
select flight mode 2.
The screen should now look like this:
V&i# i,
(+,i iE
,ii\N)iiiiiiiS
iiii\L#.,iiii]
Note that the data is not actually copied until you
press the button to confirm the action.
You can leave the menu at any time without copying
the data by pressing the button.
And how do you proceed from there?
Move to the flight mode point in Menu 3, and:
1. Enter a name for the new flight mode
(e.g. „Cruise“)
2. Assign a switch which will
activate the new mode.
These two steps are required because the name of
the flight mode and the assigned activation switch are
not copied with the rest of the data.
To adjust the curves to the appropriate settings for the
new model you now have to repeat the steps as de-
scribed for „Hover“ under Point 6.4, Adjust the curves.
The other settings (servo settings 6.1 to 6.3 and
the transmitter control settings for trim, direct
throttle and COLLECTIVE PITCH maximum) can-
not be changed.
