Initialising the gyro (helicopter)
Basic model settings (procedure)
Once the model has been switched on, the gyro immediately becomes active but still needs to be initialised. To initialise
the gyro, keep your model still when you switch it on. The calibration process can only be performed when the receiver
is absolutely still. After approx. 3 seconds in the idle position, the swashplate moves briefly three times. These "wiggles"
signal that initialisation has been successful and that calibration is complete. Always wait until the calibration process
has finished before starting to fly the model.
1. Once the transmitter and helicopter have successfully been prepared, access the "Telemetry" menu in the transmitter
(see transmitter manual) and switch to the "Base setup contr." menu.
2. Scroll past the swashplate/tail setup menus; these will be used later on.
3. You must work through each item of this menu in order from top to bottom:

Pressing the arrow keys on the right touchpad allows you to
access additional menu items that are listed further down.
Rotating dir
Select the rotating direction for the rotor: right or left
Swp type
Swashplate type: select the correct swashplate type. 90°, 120°, 135°, 140°.
Default setting 140°
The roll servos are connected to channels 1 and 2, the nick servo to channel 3, and the tail servo may only be connected
to channel 4 once the "Tail servo" parameter has been set correctly.
The motor control system is connected to channel 6.
Swp frequency
Swp frequency: frequency for the swashplate servos
Default setting: 50 Hz
Warning:
Analogue servos may only be operated at 50 Hz. If they are not, the servos will be destroyed. Many
digital servos can be operated at a higher frequency. (Use at your own risk). This allows the model to be controlled
more quickly. With HBS servos, we recommend setting the frequency to 200 Hz.
