!
It is mandatory to have tested all sensor directions!
!
At first, fly with considerably moderate gain settings for tail and head gyro (35-45% recommended).
!
Control check prior to every lift-off. Never lift off before the servos respond correctly to stick inputs, as only in this case has the
initialization been successfull.
PAY ATTENTION DURING LIFT-OFF
!
In general, pay attention to the horizontal position of the swashplate.
Similar to a tail gyro, it may happen that slight, inadvertently issued stick deflections are amplified by the stabilization before the
model is in the air.
!
Especially on 3D acro helis with hard head-damping, these helis must not be spooled up on, and lifted off from hard asphalt, unless
the skids are dampened. Otherwise, while the motor is spooling up, resonances can occur, risking the heli tilting over, because in
this state it cannot correctly follow the system‘s control commands.
TUNING
BANK SWITCHING
The AXON includes the option of up to 3 banks of different parameter sets. This means that not only can head gain and tail gain be
adapted from the radio, but complete parameter sets can be defined and accessed via the head gain channel’s position. This includes
all parameters from the HEAD/TAIL menu, and also the governor’s gain control (separate bank buttons for the two menus).
Therefore, the software contains bank buttons „yellow“, „blue“ and „red“ for HEAD/TAIL as well as GOVERNOR menu.
Every single button opens the available parameter for the chosen bank separately, i.e. all settings, for example, made while the blue
bank is active are only saved under the blue bank. When switching to another bank, the corresponding parameters for this bank are
visualized and subject to change.
The banks are engaged via head gyro channel as follows:
Bank red Default bank, also available if no signal is received via the head gyro channel. This is otherwise triggered by a center signal
on the head gyro channel.
Note: the head gain needs to be set in software only for this bank.
Attention: when activating bank red (neutral signal on the head gyro channel), the internal gyro gain value in the HEAD menu is valid,
although the Diagnose shows the current signal status ‚0‘!
B
ank yellow Activated by supplying a negative signal to the head gyro channel. The signal’s travel setting (servo travel) defines
the head gain.
B
ank blue Activated by supplying a positive signal to the head gyro channel. The signal’s travel setting (servo travel) defines the
head gain.
Examples:
1)
Signal -57% = Bank yellow, 57% head gain
2)
73% = Bank blue, 73% head gain
3)
Signal 0% (Center) = Bank red, head gain defined via head gain parameter in the software
The tail gain is always defined by the tail gain channel from the radio, also for bank red, as long as a signal is provided via the radio.
If there is no signal from radio to tail gain channel, the tail gain is defined in the software, and for all three banks separately.
