“Max Roll Bank” parameter setting (ground based)
Max Roll Bank : This parameter specifies a maximum bank angle which the autopilot will not exceed during turns. Set
an appropriate bank limit, the min-max range is: 5~30 degrees.
10.6.3 Pitch servo setup
From the previous menu (Autopilot setup) select with the knob
the “Pitch servo setup” menu and press it to enter.
“Gain” parameter check (ground based)
Gain
: This parameter specify how fast or slow the autopilot responds to deviations between commanded and actual
altitude. For now check only that the parameter is at the default value ( 13 ), because it will be set in flight as explained
later. The range min-max is: 1~40.
“Torque” parameter setting (ground based)
Torque : set the desired torque, that is the force of the servo when engaged.
To set a correct value, keep in mind that the torque must be strong enough to give a fairly good control authority to the
servos, but not so strong as to be difficult to override with the control stick.
To test the torque after setting a new value, perform the “Servo torque check” as explained in chap.10.5.3.
The min-max range is: 1~40, when the autopilot system detects for the first time that the servo is set as a pitch servo,
it set the default value of 20.
“VS climb rate” parameter setting (ground based)
VS climb rate
: This parameter sets the average vertical speed for autopilot-commanded climbs.The unit of measure is
meters/second or feet/minute, depending on what you have choosen for the altimeter.
The range min-max is: 50~2000 feet/minute (0.1~10 meters/second).
When selecting your desired climb rate consider that the autopilot may slightly exceed from target value during
regulation.
“VS descent rate” parameter setting (ground based)
VS descent rate : This parameter sets the average vertical speed for autopilot-commanded descents.The unit of
measure is meters/second or feet/minute, depending on what you have choosen for the altimeter.
The range min-max is: 50~2000 feet/minute (0.1~10 meters/second).
When selecting your desired descent rate consider that the autopilot may slightly exceed from target value during regulation.
“Max pitch angle” parameter setting (ground based)
Max pitch angle
: This parameter specifies a maximum pitch angle which the autopilot will not exceed during climbs or
descents. Set an appropriate bank limit, the min-max range is: 5~20 degrees.
10.6.4 Remote button setup (ground based)
From the Autopilot setup menu select with the knob the
“Remote button setup” menu and press it to enter.
Hold to engage enable : Enable (YES) or disable (NO) the function to engage the autopilot when the button is pressed
for 2 seconds. The default value is “NO” so the remote button will only serve to disengage the autopilot when already
engaged.
Hold to engage mode : Select the autopilot engage mode using the remote button (if enabled, see previous
parameter). Set to “HDG” to engage the autopilot in horizontal navigation (roll), set to “ALT” to engage the autopilot in
vertical navigation (pitch), set to “HDG/ALT” to engage the autopilot in both axes.
Control wheel steering enable : Enable (YES) or disable (NO) the following auxiliary function of the remote button:
during autopilot control, press and hold for more than 2 seconds the button (on the display will be displayed “
AP:CWS
”)
and fly to a new heading and/or altitude, then release the button to reengage the autopilot. By default this function is
disabled.
