Toggling the switch towards the back of the transmitter
(position HI)
allows the control rates to achieve their highest maximum values.
This is typically the preferred rate for experienced pilots interested in more control response for forward fl ight and basic
aerobatic maneuvers.
Note:
In order to improve the overall control experience, a small amount of exponential (to reduce the amount of control authority/
sensitivity around neutral stick) has been programmed into the transmitter for both the high and low rates.
Normal and Stunt Flight Modes
The HP6DSM transmitter also features a fl ight mode
(F MODE)
switch. This switch allows the pilot to toggle
between the normal (0) and stunt/idle up (1) fl ight modes.
Toggling the fl ight mode switch toward the rear of the
transmitter
(position 0)
puts the transmitter/helicopter in
normal fl ight mode. This is the preferred fl ight mode for
general hovering.
When you toggle the fl ight mode switch toward the front
of the transmitter
(position 1)
, the transmitter/helicopter
will be in the stunt/idle up fl ight mode. This is the preferred
fl ight mode for most forward/backward fl ying.
Note:
When in stunt mode, even with the throttle stick
all the way down, the blades and motors will
continue to spin. You must use the normal fl ight mode to safely turn off the motors. For safety, the 2-in-1 unit will not arm if
the fl ight battery is plugged in and the fl ight mode switch is in the stunt position.
Also, when switching between the normal and stunt fl ight modes, it is
best to do so in the air while fl ying or transitioning to forward fl ight.
There may be a slight change of rotor speed while switching modes,
so be aware of the possibility of a slight altitude change. Never switch
into stunt mode without having powered the main and tail motors up
innormal mode fi rst. The abrupt start could cause damage to the gears,
motors or possibly even the 2-in-1 unit.
The stunt mode throttle curve midpoint adjustment (SM TCM ADJ) knob
is located on the forward top left panel, next to the fl ight mode switch.
This knob allows you to adjust the midpoint value of the throttle curve
when in the stunt/idle up fl ight mode. It has no affect on the throttle
curve in the normal fl ight mode, or on the endpoints of the throttle curve
in the stunt/idle up fl ight mode.
The SM TCM ADJ knob offers you the ability to adjust the main rotor head speed, and in turn the collective and cyclic control response
of the model between the endpoints of the throttle curve in the stunt fl ight mode. Typically, a higher main rotor head speed will result in
quicker collective and cyclic control response around middle stick.
For example, when you have the knob in the lowest, most counterclockwise position, the main rotor head speed in hover (and during
transition from positive to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be lower than it is when at the top or bottom of the throttle/collective
stick range.
When you have the knob in the highest, most clockwise position, the main rotor head speed in hover (and during transition from positive
to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be similar to when you are at the top or bottom of the throttle/collective stick range. This is
generally preferred when fl ying in breezy conditions, and for the quickest collective and cyclic response. It is also helpful when
performing aerobatics like loops and rolls as it will help to maintain more consistent main rotor head speeds. This also allows for more
consistent tail holding power because the torque and main to tail motor mixing changes will be minimized throughout the
throttle/collective stick range.
Note:
Because of the stable settings of the Blade SR, the stunt mode is non-aggressive and basic aerobatics should be fl own for the
fi rst time with plenty of altitude until you are accustomed to the control response.
