ALTA 8 FLIGHT PARAMETERS
Flight Parameters are different from tuning parameters in that the flight
characteristics of ALTA 8 will not change with their modification. However, they can
be used to select neutral points using trim, or to set maximum or minimum values.
ATTITUDE
PITCH AND ROLL TRIM
Use Pitch and Roll trim settings to correct for tendencies of the ALTA 8 to pitch or
roll with a neutral control input.
Use the in-app pitch and roll trim settings instead of radio controller trim features
as large radio controller trims could prevent position hold from engaging at neutral
stick positions.
MAXIMUM PITCH/ROLL ANGLE
This sets the maximum angle ALTA 8 will be allowed to fly in all modes and in all
flight conditions.
MAXIMUM YAW RATE
This is the maximum rate ALTA 8 will yaw (pan) when at full stick deflection.
HEIGHT
HOVER THROTTLE
Hover Throttle is a parameter that adjusts ALTA 8’s thrust at center throttle stick,
and ensures ALTA 8 does not climb or descend at the center stick position while
flying in Manual Mode. A Hover Throttle setting that is too high or too low can cause
ALTA 8 to climb or descend when switching between Manual and Height Modes.
NOTE
Hover Throttle will need to be adjusted when
changing the overall weight of the system, or when
moving between very different elevations.
Adjust the Hover Throttle setting such that during a stable hover the required
throttle position is at middle stick, or about 1500 μs in the App radio chart. Increase
Hover Throttle if hover occurs above center stick, and decrease if hover occurs
