FEATURES 

The units within the bavarianDEMON X-series, 3X and 3SX, are professional SAS FBL electronics and replace the mechnical fl ybar. Helicopter models without fl ybar are 
more agile and manoeuvrable and offer approx. 15% more power. In combination with these FBL electronics, huge performance is supplied without the need to adjust the 
fragile fl ybar mechanism. The head gyro eliminates all undesired rigid head characteristics, resulting in optimum control and precision.

Its’ precision throughout the range and with maximum „lock-in“ performance are outstanding. By means of the latest generation high-quality MEMS gyros, these systems 
have full 3D capability, whilst boasting a top-quality, ultra-fast tail gyro. No external gyro is required. In addition, it has a built-in symmetrical torque control (revo). This results 
in a further increase in holding ability, made possible by coupling the tail gyro internally with the coll.pitch data of the rotor head control.

The 3SX includes an optional horizontal stabilisation (active self-leveling and unique rescue modes), which can also be used in helicopters with fl ybar. The 3X expressly 
incorporates no horizontal or position stabilisation and is thus fully suitable for competition. It can be upgraded any time to the additional functionality of the 3SX.
For further information regarding any upgrade possibilities see www.bavarianDEMON.com.

Of course, the system is also suitable for fl ybarless scale helicopters (twin- and multi-bladed) as well as fl ybarless helicopters such as turbine powered trainers, etc. Of 
course it can be used for helicopters with electric, nitro or combustion engines too. In case of using the systems in a turbine powered helicopter, please see the important 
note on page 7! 

Supported servo types: All current analog, digital and brushless servos , including narrow-pulse servos (760µs) for the tail (e.g. Futaba BLS256HV).

Supported swashplate types: All current variants, including four swashplate servos and virtual swash rotation, CCPM/H1, H3-90°, H3-120°, H3-140°, H4-90°, H4-90°+45°. 

Direct USB connection for fast programming as well as clear separation of the gain (sensitivity) settings for head and tail gyro in independent auxiliary channels reduces the 
setup work to a minimum. In case of the 3SX the head gyro channel additionally provides activation and in-fl ight-adjustment of the multiple Horizon and rescue modes. 

3X and 3SX can be updated via internet. For hints and instructions, please see PC software.
