Head locking gyro setup

Dial 3: Tail gyro response Turn dial 3 clockwise to increase the tail gyro response. Turning dial 3 counter clockwise will decrease it. Increasing the gyro response will cause a harder stop and quicker response to rudder stick inputs. But if the response is too high, the tail will bounce back after a hard stop and feel spongy when making fast direction changes. If the response is set too low on the other hand, the rudder control feels dull and stopping might be too soft.

Ideally the tail should stop perfectly to the point without making any flapping noises. Factory setting of the dial 3 is horizontal which provides a good setup in most cases. You have to make sure the maximum possible tail gyro gain has already been determined see above before adjusting the tail gyro response. Then after adjusting the tail gyro response you may have to adjust the tail gyro gain once again, as these parameters interact to each other. This is displayed by a short movement of the swashplate servos.

For initialization it is irrelevant whether the helicopter is leveled horizontally! Only important is that it is not moved as long as the calibration of the sensor positions takes place LEDs lights A - G running. If the initialization is not completed even after several minutes, read the Trouble shooting guide. Like mentioned above the three dials should be turned to factory setting centered horizontally , when using in small helicopters for safety reason dials 1 and 2 should be set to slightly below the center position.

The tail gain channel should be set so that point G lights up, similar to approx. Select the control behavior at Parameter menu point B to fit your flying style. Before the first take off, make a stick direction check and again make sure that the sensors are correcting to the right direction when you tilt, roll or yaw the helicopter by hand. In comparison to a flybared heli you are not directly controlling the servos anymore but controlling rotational rates like for fly-by-wire.

The system will try to move the heli to the commanded directions and as the heli will not move while standing on the ground, the system may give maximum servo input, even if you do not move the sticks or the heli anymore, as the system will "remember" the command for some amount of time. Thus it is also normal when the tail gyro is operated in HeadingLock mode, that the rudder servo will stay in its end position after a rudder stick input or tail movement and that it does not always react immediately to a stick input.

And for the same reason, it is also normal that the rudder servo runs to the endpoints even with small stick inputs. Just before lift-off make sure that the swashplate is horizontal and that the tail pitch slider is near center. You can shortly switch the tail gyro to Normal-Rate mode, in this mode the rudder servo will center itself if the rudder stick is released.

To center the swashplate move the cyclic stick to full deflection once. Avoid excessive steering during lift-off, otherwise the helicopter may tip over as it can't move as long as it's still standing on the ground as decribed above the system tries to move the helicopter by applying more and more servo movement! The best way is to give a fair and direct collective pitch input to lift the helicopter quickly up into the air.

This demands some re-education if you have only flown flybared helicopters before. Once airborne at first you should adjust and try to find the maximum possible amount of tail gyro and cyclic gain dial 1. Then you may optimize the tail gyro by adjusting Parameter menu point D in case you're operating the tail gyro in HeadingLock mode and adjust the response of the tail gyro using dial 3. Additionally you may need to adjust the Cyclic feed forward dial 2 and Parameter menu point C.

When the control loop is well adjusted, you can additionally use Parameter menu points G and H to fit your flying style and stick feeling. To support the tail gyro you can activate the Torque precompensation at Parameter menu point F if necessary. Jump to: navigation , search. Instruction manual 1. Introduction 2.
