Smooth Flite Detailed Functions: Elevator
SF Active (on Elevator)
Checking SF Active from the Elevator Channel page
(as shown in the picture to the right) will activate
Smooth Flite on Elevator. De
- Checking will
deactivate Smooth Flite from Elevator.
If you ran the Wizard and selected “ Elevator “ to be
active with Smooth Flite then this function would
be active (as shown in the picture)
Elevator Channel Page
Tapping the “ Elevator ” button from the Smooth Flite menu will take you to the “ Elevator Channel ” page.
Smooth Flite Elevator Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
One of the symptoms of flying with too higher gain on the gyro is that the model may start to oscillate at
higher gain settings. At Advanced Radio we employed information gathered from several of the
Smooth Flite sensors and have developed our proprietary Automatic Gain Control (AGC) algorithm to
correct this situation.
If activated, the Smooth Flite Automatic Gain Control is
constantly monitoring the flying characteristic of the
model and applying gain up to the level you have
chosen to suit the flying characteristic of the model.
No other speed sensing module is required.
Smooth Flite AGC can be individually applied to
Ailerons, Elevator and Rudder and is accessed from the
Aileron, Elevator and Rudder control pages.
The default factory setting is ON for all surfaces.
Testing has found ideal results are achieved with
factory gain settings and AGC set to ON.
Invert SF Output (Elevator)
If you have activated Elevator to be controlled by
Smooth Flite then moving the models tail up you
should see the Elevator deflect upwards to
counteract the movement. If you see the Elevator
move downwards then you need to
“ Invert SF
Output ” on the Elevator page.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that this parameter be set
correctly.
