SETUP / ADJUSTMENT
After installation, the FBL system must be tuned to heli and transmitter, which fi rst includes adaptation of the transmitter to the FBL system, followed by setting up the FBL
system to the model.
The PC software includes a setup wizard guiding you swiftly and easily through all the steps. Additionally there are helpful mouse-over tips available for each parameter in
the software, as well as additional notes in the [Help] menu.
At this point please open the software and start the setup wizard. And do not miss the following notes 1-3!
1. IMPORTANT NOTE IN CASE OF USE WITH TURBINE HELICOPTERS:
If running a turbine, it is mandatory to apply the protective hood, available as accessory, protecting the unit from the infl uence of ultrasonic sound!
2. IMPORTANT BEFORE FIRST FLIGHT AND AFTER ANY CHANGES!
EXTENDED STEERING TEST INCLUDING A DIRECTION TEST FOR ALL THREE GYROS:
a) When the model is ready to fl y, check the neutral positions and directions of all stick functions and for all servos. If the swashplate tilts while you increase
head gyro gain, this must be related to wrong transmitter‘s trims (step 4, b in particular).
b) Check directions of all three sensor axes, as a wrong direction would fairly lead to acrash! Briefl y move the model to and fro about all three axes, tilting and
turning. Swashplate and tail must initially respond with the opposite action, i.e. swashplate wants to stay horizontal against rolling and tilting, and front side
of the tail rotor blades move opposite to the tail swivel direction, i.e. tail rotor blows in the direction of its swivel movement. In the event of errors, a mistake
must be either in the direction of the bars in the [Diagnose] menu or in the ‚mounting orientation‘.
c) RC range test: In compliance with the data specs of the 2.4GHz RC system or with antenna pushed in (35/40MHz)
3. [ALL] MENU: BACKUP OF ALL SETTINGS IN THE PC
Data backup is optionally only, since all settings are stored permanently in the device, unless they are overwritten by new
values or a factory reset. It also makes sense to save settings when carrying out tests with various parameters. If the result is
not satisfying, you can easily restore the prior data by loading the backup.
