06 Heli Setup
Sets up basic CCPM mixes for a collective pitch flybar-type helicopter with the common 120° swash
arrangement. The three swash servo output channels are CYC1, CYC2, CYC3. Flight Modes are
controlled by the 3-position switch. Curves c1, c2, c3 are used for throttle on CH5, while c4, c5, c6
are used for pitch on CH 11 (in this case a “virtual” channel not sent to the receiver). Note that this
mix may overwrite existing mixes.
07 Gyro Setup
Creates adjustable outputs on CH6 controlled by potentiometer P2 and the Gear switch to set the
gyro gain for a helicopter.
08 Servo Test
Uses mixes on channel 16 to generate an output on channel 15 that slowly varies from -100 to +100
and back again. To apply this output to another channel, set up a mix with CH15 as the source.
09 Range Test
Generates a varying output on channel 24 that can be used to drive servos on other channels and
thus allow range testing with the transmitter in a fixed location and the model carried to a distance.
Maximum range is indicated by servos ceasing to cycle smoothly.
Note: The built-in templates cannot be edited or replaced. As a starting point for new models, you
may wish to create generic models and store them either on the computer (using Eepskye), or in
unused model memories of the transmitter, or on the SD card.. You can then simply copy, rename
and adapt a suitable model as required.
Global Variables (page 13/13)
Global variables are values that can be substituted for the usual number on any Weight, Offset,
Differential or Expo setting. Their main use is to group the adjustment of several parameters that
should have the same value. For example, aileron differential on a glider with four surfaces
responding to the aileron function. When trying to find the sweet spot for the differential value,
instead of having to separately edit the differential value in the mixers, all four can be set to use a
global variable (i.e., GV1 can be selected by a LONG press of the MENU key on the Differential
field). Then adjusting GV1 on this page is all it takes for all four differentials to be updated
simultaneously.
For example, to use a global variable in the EXPO/DR menu, highlight the Expo or D/R value and
then long press MENU key. You will then have the ability to select GV1 through to GV5. Then in the
GLOBAL VARS screen (above) define the GVx, which you chose to be any of the potentiometers,
P1, P2 or P3. Go back to the EXPO/DR screen. As you adjust the potentiometer, the value of the
Expo changes and the shape of the graph changes.
