The Quick-setup routine.
The unique Quick-setup facility of the SL560 allows the important
parameters of Rudder stick centre, Gyro sense, Servo type and Travel limits
to be quickly and simply set up from the transmitter. The set-up is stored in
the gyro's non-volatile memory so the routine will only need repeating if
one of these parameters needs to be changed.
Before entering the Quick-setup routine it is important that:-
N
All forms of mixing to the tail rotor channel (i.e. Automatic Tail
Stabilisation, or throttle to tail rotor mixing) are inhibited.
N
The trim and sub trim of the tail rotor channel are centred.
N
The tail rotor servo operating sense has been correctly set in the
transmitter.
Failure to do this will cause an uncontrollable pirouette
on take-off. Beginners who are in any doubt on this aspect of the
set-up should seek advice.
N
The correct operating sense can be established by looking at the tail
rotor blades. With a left tail rotor command held on, the leading edge
of the tail blades are pointing to the right (see Figure 3)
For LEFT TAIL COMMAND
the leading edge of the
tail blades point to the
RIGHT (as shown here)
For RIGHT TAIL COMMAND
the leading edge of the
tail blades point to the
LEFT (as shown here)

If the tail blades move in the wrong direction the condition of the servo
reversing of the tail rotor channel should be changed and the movement of
the tail blades re-checked.
