AEROBATICS AND NON-STANDARD MANEUVERS
The D1’s attitude sensing algorithm is based on fixed wing aircraft flight dynamics. Using the D1
during aerobatics or other maneuvers that are not encountered during normal fixed wing aircraft
flight may cause the D1’s attitude indicator to lag the actual horizon or be otherwise incorrect.
This will especially be true if the maneuvers being performed exceed 150 degrees per second as
described above. However, once straight and level flight is resumed for a short period, the D1 will
automatically recover and display the correct attitude. Additionally, no aerobatic flight maneuver
will cause any permanent damage to the D1’s attitude sensing ability.
