Using The Gyro Modes - Bavarian Demon CORTEXpro Instruction

If oscillation occurs, reduce sensitivity by 5-10%. Test the setting at high speed first, as in this situ-
ation, the control reaction will be strongest, and therefore the tendency to oscillation is increased.
Under normal conditions, the gyro will produce an effect similar to expo. Therefore reduce the
expo-setting or switch it off completely.
Once the optimum setting has been found, program a 3-position switch on the transmitter with
the corresponding endpoint/ATV setting in order to be able to switch between the required modes
(bank 1 / Off / bank 2). This can also be achieved by using other functions in combination, e.g.
flight mode or flap/gear function.

USING THE GYRO MODES

The illustration of the gyro channel (shown above) indicates various options. Caution: this only
applies to factory programming for bank 1 and bank 2 (standard or default, i.e. without PC soft-
ware). Via PC software it is possible to re-program the functions for each of the 3 gyros separately.
If the transmitter has a flight condition switch, it may make sense to couple the gyro channel
setting with various flight conditions. For example, at a higher speed, it is possible to switch to a
lower gyro sensitivity.
NORMAL / DAMPENING MODE
Dampens disturbances and smoothens the flight "wind-off switch".
The gyro tends to reduce agility. The expo setting can therefore be reduced in the transmitter,
or even completely switched off. The rudder can also delay a turning movement because of the
gyro. This is ideal for aerobatics and makes knife-edge flying easier. However, this can indicate a
tendency to lean for normal turns. In this instance use a little rudder.
The normal mode can remain activated during take-off and landing.
HOLD MODE
This mode is ideal for automatic hovering, torque, harrier etc. For technical reasons, this mode is
only suitable for normal forward flight under certain conditions:
1) The model may vibrate or swing because of the high sensitivity of the sensor as speed is
increased.
2) The gyros try to hold the model in position against the pilot's control inputs. It may be that
the model is being steered more rigorously or swings back somewhat after the stick is
released.
It is not recommended to land in hold mode. The model would then no longer be able to follow
its physical reactions. Hold mode may influence the surface's neutral setting (drifting away from
centre). This only occurs on the ground and is not relevant in flight.
