lock gain mode.
4. Heading-Lock Gain Mode
When you enter the heading lock gain mode, you will see the status LED
blinking pattern change to indicate that you have moved into this mode.
Here, you will be able to adjust the heading lock gain. Moving the elevator
stick upward will increase the gain, while moving it downward will decrease
the gain. The LED display will reflect this change. When you have made the
desired change, press the button on the flybarless unit again to save your
settings and return to normal operation.
Heading lock affects how strongly the rudder will act to maintain the
commanded position. This includes the scenario where the rudder stick is
neutral, and the commanded speed is 0. With low heading lock gain, the
tail may incur unwanted drift. With excessive heading lock gain, the tail will
move back and forth or “hunt/wag”, and the tail will not stop crisply when
commanded to do so. We recommend that the user sets this gain as high as
possible without hunting or wagging.
Please note that heading lock is turned completely off when the heading
lock gain is set to 0. We do not recommend flying in this mode, as the
rudder will drift constantly. However, this mode can be used to correct the
length of the tail servo pushrod.
To make this correction, set the heading lock gain to zero and hover
the helicopter. Observe which direction the rudder drifts. Then, land the
helicopter and shorten or lengthen the tail pushrod accordingly. Repeat
this process until rudder drift is minimized. Once this is done, make sure to
increase the heading lock gain before resuming normal flight.
Tuning Cyclic response for 3-Axis mode
For a positive first flight experience in 3-axis mode, the Optim 300CP is
shipped with conservative gain settings to ensure a stable and enjoyable
hover. However, pilots may wish to adjust gains to suit their flying needs.
There are two potentiometers provided for adjusting the performance of
the elevator and aileron. First, Pot 1 on the FBL unit adjusts cyclic gain.
Increasing this setting by turning the pot clockwise will make the helicopter
respond more firmly to disturbances. If it is set too high, the helicopter may
begin to shake or oscillate in flight. If this setting is too low, the helicopter
