Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Dedalus Autopilot. We have put our many year
experience in electronics, automatics and control of model planes into this
device.
Dedalus was designed to stabilize the flight and save your model in case
you're out of your RC radio range, lose eye contact with the model or get
stuck in the thermals and is pulled into clouds. When you lose control over
the model, you can turn on automatic “return to base” function using spare
channel on your transmitter. It is also highly recommended to program Fail-
Safe mode in your receiver as to automatically switch to the return to base in
case the receiver loses signal.
In addition, Dedalus can stabilize the model's flight, which is helpful when
flying on the edge of visibility with the model becoming a small dot in the sky.
Small size (30 x 60 x 10mm) and less than 55g weight of the kit allows you to
place it in almost every model. All basic airframe systems with T-tail, V-tail
and tailless designs like delta or flying wing are supported. It may be useful for
flight stabilization during air tow operations, to secure glider against escape
into thermals or controlling fast flying models with a very short reaction time,
where short moment of inattention results in the loss of the model.
