b) Torque compensation for the tail
One great advantage of the VBar is its integrated tail gyro. This makes
it a 3-axis system, which is able to compute simultaneously the
movements of the heli and the pilot’s inputs. It is this feature which
allows for automatic torque compensation. This compensation process
has several advantages. For instance, it optimizes the movements of
the helicopter and it saves extra power.
Automatic torque compensation will require that the system
recognizes stick input correctly.
To check this go to the expert tail menu, note the original torque
compensation value, then set it to 100.
On pitch stick input, starting from center, and regardless of positive
or negative pitch input, the tail pitch angle must now increase to
counter the expected increased torque.
For clockwise main blade rotation, the compensation moves the tail
boom to the left, and the nose will be moved to the right. And for
counterclockwise main blade rotation, the model's nose will be moved
to the left, while the tail moves to the right.
If the travel direction for torque compensation is incorrect, all three
tail travel directions must be reversed in your V Stabi PC software.
These are: tail servo, tail gyro and RC input.
You must reverse directions of the tail servo, tail gyro and the tail
channel input.
Once this check is done, return the torque compensation value to its
orignal setting.
If your model is not equipped with asymmetrical main blades, for
example if you have a scale model with -5 to +12 degrees of pitch,
the point of the least expected torque needs to be programmed for
the static mixer function.
To do this, go to the advanced menu which is hidden behind the little
blue doctors cap. Move the transmitter’s pitch control to the zero
pitch position and click the zero pitch button to set it to zero pitch.
