RVJET Manual v2.0
Connect:
1.
CPPM from Rx to ‘PPM1 Input’ on RVOSD
2.
Right wing servo to ‘OUT2/Aileron’
3.
Left wing servo to ‘OUT1/Aileron’
4.
ESC to ‘OUT3/Throttle’
In the RVOSD main menu:
1.
Enable R/C receiver
2.
Set R/C receiver type to PPM
3.
Go into PPM configuration and map your channels.
4.
Set airplane mode to WING
5.
Go to R/C wizard and follow it, setting the correct throw directions.
6.
Set ‘cruise throttle’ to ½
7.
Set ‘glide throttle to ¼
8.
Enable autopilot in RVOSD menu to ‘RTH’
You can also assign an ‘aux’ autopilot mode. This mode can be toggled with
the AUX1 input on the RVOSD. I suggest to set the AUX AP mode to Fly By
Wire.
Using the RangeVideo OSD and Autopilot with the RVJET
For the easiest configuration, use a R/C receiver with CPPM out.
If you have a receiver with SBUS output, use a Frsky SBUS to CPPM convertor.
CPPM stands for combined PPM , and it contains all of your servo channels in
one wire. It is much easier to work with since you can assign the channels in
the RVOSD menu without physically switching their wire positions. It also
means less wires; 1 wire instead of 4-8.
Maiden Flight with RVOSD
Always setup an FPV video feed if you are flying the RVOSD with autopilot
RTH enabled. You need to know what is going on in case something seems
wrong. You can only know if you look at the OSD display.
Flight #1
•
Take off with Autopilot OFF
Trim the airplane for level flight
•
Land
Set new ‘neutral positions’ in RVOSD autopilot menu (in-flight menu)
Flight #2
1.
Toggle ON the AUX autopilot mode, fly by wire, and make sure the
control throws are working in the right direction
2.
Take off in manual mode
3.
Climb to 200 meters
4.
Toggle ON the AUX autopilot mode fly by wire
5.
Smile, the RVJET should be a dream to fly now
RVJET – Setup 2/2
The following is very important steps R/C with the RVOSD:
1.
Always remove the propeller when doing setup in the RVOSD
2.
Always do a range check before the maiden
3.
If you plan to fly far away, or even if you don’t, you should configure
RC link lost detection and RTH on the RVOSD; do this before your first
FPV flight. Even if RTH is not perfect, it can save your plane by turning
it around and back into radio range.
