41 <Model Basic Setting Procedure>
for each condition. (At initial setting, this function
is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON"
state.)
<Setting example>
Activate the mixing curve of each condition with
the condition select switch.
A curve setting example is shown below.
●Pitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal)
Use the hovering system and set this curve to
match take off and landing and vertical climb at a
constant speed.
●Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1)
Use this curve in 540º stall turn, loop, and rolling stall
turn, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing straight
ahead when heading into the wind.
●Pitch to RUD mixing (Hold)
This function is set so that the fuselage is facing
straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The
pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly 0º.
9. Throttle hold setting
*If throttle hold is necessary, please refer to the THR HOLD
function, p.127.
10. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the
engine, by flipping a switch with the throttle stick
at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle
to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’s
location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults
to NULL.
*With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the
engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not
binding.
11. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and
pitch interaction
The swash mix function is used to correct the
swash plate in the aileron (Left/Right Cyclic)
and elevator (Forward/Aft Cyclic) direction
corresponding to each operation of each condition.
6. D/R function
D/R function is used to adjust the throw and
operation curve of aileron, elevator and rudder for
each condition.
*For throttle and pitch curve settings, refer to the afore-
mentioned "Throttle/Pitch curve setting"
This is normally used after End Point has defined
the maximum throw directions.
7. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching
The gyro sensitivity and mode switching
function is utilized to adjust the gyro mixing of the
model, and can be set for each condition.
● Normal condition (hovering): Gyro sensitivity
maximum
● Idle up 1/Idle up 2/Throttle hold: Gyro
sensitivity minimum
● However, during auto rotations with a tail-
driven helicopter, this function may not have
any effect on the high gyro sensitivity.
8. Pitch to RUD mixing setting
Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY520,
GY401, or other heading hold gyro, this
Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The
reaction torque is corrected by the gyro.
When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode,
the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation
symptoms and the gyro will not operate
normally.
Use this function when you want to suppress
the torque generated by the changes in the pitch
and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation.
Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the
rudder direction. However, when using a heading
hold gyro like those shown above, do not use Pitch
to rudder mixing.
Activate the Pitch to rudder (Pit -->RUD) mixing
function from the Model Menu, and set the curve
