Tuning Gain
The Primary Gain value is the EPA value that you can edit on your transmitter when the Gear switch is set to Altitude Hold disabled. The
Primary Gain value is used by the HoverflySPORT to increase the sensitivity of the control algorithm. In general a value that is too low would
make the controls feel “mushy” and the aircraft would be difficult to fly. A value that is too high would result in quick oscillations of the aircraft
and once again it would be difficult to fly. Every aircraft will have a slightly different gain and the user must adjust the Primary Gain to find the
“sweet spot” where it feels best for their type of flying.
Begin tuning the Primary Gain starting with a low value of gain 10 to +25 (as shown in Fig. 12). With the aircraft on the ground and
armed increase the throttle until it just lifts off. If it is difficult to control or mushy increase the gain by +10 and repeat the procedure. Once
you can safely lift off and hover observe the aircraft and look for oscillations. This is very similar to a remote gain on a helicopter where too
high of gain will result in tail twitching. The Primary Gain should be increased to a value just before the oscillations begin.
Once you become more experienced flying with the HoverflySPORT, you will be able to adjust your gain using the Gear EPA for Primary
Gain during flight.
5.3 Arming the HoverflySPORT™
In order to use the HoverflySPORT™ and your aircraft you will have to connect the battery and arm the system. This should be done in the
Bench Testing procedure after the aircraft is mounted to a test bench. The procedure will be described here so that you are familiar with it
before starting your bench tests.
