Smooth Flite Gyro Pre - Flight Checks
Master Switch Check
If the Pre - flight checks on the previous page check out then you are ready to fly with Smooth Flite acti-
vated. Remember from the Wizard setup you assigned a Master Switch control to a 3 stage switch on
the transmitter. You can use the Master Switch to turn SmootFlite control off giving you a non gyro as-
sisted model. The 3 positions of the Master switch are:
Position 1 = Smooth Flite is deactivated. No Smooth Flite effect will be applied.
Position 2 = Smooth Flite is on low gain. Generally for normal flying mode.
Position 3 = Smooth Flite is on high gain. Generally for low speed flying or landing approaches.
First Smooth Flite Assisted Flight
We have mentioned earlier that we recommend flying Smooth Flite on rudder first so you can familiarise
the way Smooth Flite feels. You may find that rudder is all that is needed to give you an excellent flying
model.
After flying rudder you may want to try activating Smooth Flite on Aileron and Elevator. A general flying
characteristic of flying gyro assisted is that the controls will feel like they have a lot of exponential ap-
plied. This is quite normal. The feeling will generally increase with higher gain and decrease with lower
gain.
Smooth Flite is much more than just a Gyro. It offers several advanced proprietary features of “ Automatic
Gain Control ” (AGC), “ Variable Gain Control ” (VGC), “ Aerobatic Mode ” and “ Proportional Modes ” to
assist with tuning your model and Smooth Flite experience. We will now discuss these Advanced Features.
Smooth Flite Advanced Stabilisation Features
Smooth Flite Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
One of the symptoms of flying with higher gain on the gyro is that the model may start to oscillate at
higher gain settings. At Advanced Radio we employed information gathered from several of the Smooth
Flite sensors and have developed our proprietary
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) algorithm to correct this
situation.
If activated, the Smooth Flite Automatic Gain Control is
constantly monitoring the flying characteristic of the
model and applying gain up to the level you have
chosen to suit the flying characteristic of the model.
No other speed sensing module is required.
Smooth Flite AGC can be individually applied to
Ailerons, Elevator and Rudder and is accessed from the
Aileron, Elevator and Rudder control pages.
The default factory setting is ON for all surfaces.
