c. If the airplane oscillates, immediately slow it down and reduce gain.
Take note of which flight mode you are in and which axis the aircraft
oscillates around. You can increase or decrease the base gain values
of each axis separately for each flight mode within the Forward
Programming menu after landing.
d. Tune gain values for each axis within each flight mode.
ADVANCED TUNING
Basic gain tuning can be as simple as using a slider, but to fine tune the AS3X
system there are many setup and tuning options.
AS3X GAIN TUNING OPTIONS
1. In your transmitter’s menu select
Forward Programming
->
Gyro Settings
->
AS3X Settings
• AS3X Gains
can be changed for each axis, you can increase the gain
values for roll, pitch and yaw separately to maximize the performance
without oscillation. We recommend making small changes on one axis
at a time.
• Priority
tells the receiver how much to reduce gain when you move the
control stick away from center. If the Priority is set high (200) the receiver
will lower gain to zero with any movement on the control stick. Low
priority values will dampen more throughout the control input range. The
default value of 160 provides a well balanced feel for most pilots.
• If your aircraft is over or under sensitive to the range of gain available,
adjust the
Gain Sensitivity
. Agile aircraft with extreme control surface
deflections or high speed aircraft should use
1X
. Moderate sport
airplanes should use
2X
. Slow and inherently stable aircraft with mild
performance should use
4X
.
2. Test fly your airplane to verify the configuration, land, and make adjust-
ments as necessary.
FLIGHT MODE TUNING OPTIONS WITHIN
FORWARD PROGRAMMING (IN THE RECEIVER)
1. Flight Modes in Forward Programming are set up in the receiver and are
separate from Flight Modes set up outside of Forward Programming. You
can set base gain values, and enable or inhibit AS3X and SAFE for each
Flight Mode.
Select
Forward Programming
->
Gyro Settings
->
F-Mode Setup
a. Select
FM Channel
, assign a channel and switch to use for Flight
Modes. Select any channel that is not a control surface, throttle or gain.
TIP:
If you have completed the First Time SAFE Setup, your Flight Modes will
already be assigned to a switch.
b. Each Flight Mode within Forward Programming can have AS3X and SAFE
enabled or disabled. For all flight modes with SAFE enabled, AS3X should
be enabled as well. Take into account your flight mode switch position,
then set the AS3X and SAFE Modes as desired for that switch position.
