10.Model helicopters (HELI)
The mixer program for model helicopters provides a range of special
menus for this type of model aircraft, in addition to the basic
functions already described.
These menus are integrated into the rotation loop,and can be found
before the Parameter menu (PARA) when you have already selected
the corresponding model type in the TYPE menu. See also Section
7.3.
10.2 Servo assignment in the HELI menu
The sequence of servo connections in the Heli menu varies greatly
according to the helicopter type,i.e.the type of swashplate control
system in use.
The table lists the servo assignment to the receiver outputs, accor-
ding to swashplate type.
This assignment is fixed, and you must adhere to it, as the throttle
and collective pitch functions are already mixed at the transmitter;
the appropriate servos are also already mixed to suit your choice of
swashplate type.
The special features of the individual swashplate mixers are explai-
ned under the swashplate menu (SWSH).
Transmitter channels 5 and 6 are pre-configured for gyro gain
adjustment and collective pitch servo trim.
The second table shows that some of the transmitter’s mixer func-
tions are swapped over,and in some cases different settings can be
called up according to the flight phase currently selected.
If you wish to be able to switch between different flight phases,
external mixer switches must first be installed and connected.
