The set-up steps
1) Learning the stick direction
•
In set-up mode the LED will flash green at regular intervals.
Check that any electric power system is disconnected.
•
Hold SET button pressed in, and move the transmitter controls to their full
travel (in any order) with the button pressed in: Right-aileron, elevator forward
(push), right yaw (tail rotor stick), then neutral again; collective pitch maximum
and leave it there. Now release the button. From this point on you must not
change the direction of any channel at the transmitter (apart from deliberately
reversing collective pitch).
2) Servo directions “collective pitch”
(and recognizing linkage type)
The LED must flash twice (press SET button briefly if necessary to move on to
the appropriate step). Servos will not respond to aileron! You can now select
the right one from the ten possible coll.pitch options, working forward or back
by moving the aileron stick to either side. The collective pitch stick should even-
ly move the swashplate up and down, without tilting. Store the correct setting
with a long press on the SET button until LED flashes again.
3 )
Servo directions „elevator“ (and „aileron“)
The LED must flash three times (press SET button briefly if necessary).
Now select the right elevator function from the two or eight possible options, wor-
king forward or back by moving the aileron stick to either side. The elevator stick
should tilt the swashplate evenly, without changing its height. For single servo lin-
kage type only: choose amongst the 2 possibilities using right roll stick movements
only, and if additionally the aileron direction has to be changed, hold the aileron
stick to the left for a longer time (1.5 s) and test with left stick movements (available
only with
HeliCommand
versions carrying a date code on the left side of label).
With any other linkage type, the direction of aileron travel should automatically be
correct after storing; otherwise simply swap the right with left servo at their connec-
tions on the RC module. Store the setting with a long press on the SET button until
LED flashes again. Now all three directions of swashplate travel should be correct.
If the swashplate is not level, adjust the mechanical linkages at this point.
