Basic setting sequence of the helicopter
1. Model addition and invocation
Please refer to the first part of the previous
section "Basic Operation - Basic Settings of Fixed
Wings and Gliders".
2. Model type and swash plate type selection
If you have already set up a model, use the
[Model Type] selection interface to select the
helicopter in [Model Function], and then select the
swash type according to the model.
3. Flight conditions setting
The default setting contains the common mode
(default naming) conditions.
There are 5 conditions that have been set.
● Normal
● Idle 1 (SE)
● Idle 2 (SE)
● Idle 3 (SF)
● Hold
*This switch is not set in the default settings
Examples of common flight conditions settings:
● Normal: (for default settings, switch off) usually
starting, hanging
Use when stopped.
● Idle 1: (Starting when the SE switch is in the
middle position) is usually used to lose
Speed reverse, muscles and other Idles.
● Idle 2: (Starting when the SE switch is forward)
is usually used for roll.
●Lock: (usually set to start when the SG switch is
forward) Usually in self
Used in the spin state.
The priority of these operating conditions is
1,Hold(Throttle Hold)
2,Idle 2
3,Idle 1
4,Normal
5,The lock mode has the highest priority
4. Body control connecting rod installation
Install the throttle, tail rotor, aileron, elevator,
pitch, etc. as required by the model helicopter
product specification. The connection method can
be referred to the "Receiver and Servo Link
Example - Helicopter" (P21) section.* In the
[Function] option under [General Menu], you can
check the allocation of each channel.
● If the direction of the actual connection is
opposite to the direction you want, you can use
[Servo Reverse] under [General Menu] to adjust the
direction. In addition to the H-1 mode, you can also
change the direction using the [Swash] function.
● Set the direction of the gyroscope (this is the
"Gyro" function)
● The throttle section should be installed to
ensure that the carburetor can be completely closed
when Trim is fully closed.
● Use the [End Point] under [General Menu] to
adjust the ravel amount and rotation angle of each
rudder surface, and use the [Sub-trim] function and
the [End Point] function to make fine adjustments. In
order to protect the connecting rod, the travel limit
position can be set in the [End Point] function item.
The [End Point] function item can adjust the up and
down or left and right movement amount and limit of
each rudder surface.
The swash calibration (except H-1 mode) can
calibrate the swash motion by the correction mixing
control of the [swash] function. This function is
required when the pitch, aileron,and elevator
operations cause the swash to deviate from the
correct elbow. In addition,the pitch of the link at the
low point and the high point can also be calibrated,
which is used to ensure the horizontal state of the
swash in the full stroke range.
5.Throttle Curve,Pitch Curve setting
Bring up [Throttle Curve] or [Pitch Curve] from the
[Model Menu] and set the curve for various flight
conditions.
<Setting example>
Use the flight condition selection switch to bring
up the throttle curve for each flight condition.
Throttle curve setting example is as follows:
● Throttle curve (General)
The normal curve uses a normal line type, and the
basic pitch curve is set near the hover point (50% of
the stick). This curve is usually adjusted with the
pitch to ensure that the engine speed is uniform and
the up/down action is easy to handle.
● Throttle curve (Idle 1)
This setting is to maintain stick rotate when the
throttle lever is in the low position.
● Throttle curve (Idle 2)
This setting maintains rotation when the throttle
lever is in the low position and there is no pitch.
●Setting when the condition is locked
Note: The throttle lock curve is used for the spin
landing action. Please confirm the ratio of the
lowest position of throttle control stick is 0% (this is
the initial setting).
Examples of pitch curve settings are as
follows:
The pitch curve can be called up under each
condition using the flight condition selection switch.
●Pitch curve (General)
In the pitch curve, the hover pitch is usually set to
approxi5° ~ +6°. Under normal
circumstances, the throttle stick is hovered at 50%
position as the standard.* Stable hovering is also
related to throttle curve setting. It is easier to
achieve stable hover by using throttle curve
adjustment and pitch curve adjustment.
●Pitch curve (Idle 1)The pitch curve of the effect 1
is usually used for air flight, and is generally set to -
7°~+9°.
●Pitch curve (Idle 2)The setting of the high point
bit 1 is slightly lower, and the value is set to about
+8°.
●Pitch curve (HOLD)In the throttle lock and spin
drop conditions, the pitch should be set to the
-5 0
