Gyro Reverse
This gives you the ability to set the gyro respond direction of each gyro axis. In this menu the tail and swash plate control has an
increased sensitivity so that the impact is easy to see, this is not the response rate in normal operation. Please check the gyro
reverse as follows:
Hold your helicopter horizontally. Now tip it about 45 degrees forward. The swash plate should tilt backwards. This means that FBL-
3X performs the exact steering movement that the pilot would use to stabilize the model. Please check all axes in this way and
please be very precise when doing so. An incorrect gyro reverse makes the model uncontrollable and will certainly lead to a crash.
In this menu, you have the possibility to change the direction of the gyros. .
Dynamic SwPl Setting
This function compensates exterior influences (wind, unbalanced chassis,...) in pirouettes. It's also called pirouette compensation.
As almost no helicopter is 100% balanced and completely immune against wind, this function should be switched ON in any case!
Turn the function on your Revolution 500E to ON. Check the function as followed:
è
Dyn. SwPl Dir.
Use this menu item to set the compensation direction. In order to make these settings the swash plate moves to an elevation or
aileron end position. Look at the swash plate from the side and turn your helicopter's nose left and right repeatedly. Thereby
observe the swash plate movement. The direction is set correctly when the swash plate holds its position in space. The big
amplitude movement during programming is only used in order to make the check easier.
If this approach seems too complex just switch on the dynamic swash plate rotation and perform a pirouette later on. If the
helicopter is thereby quiet (without swash plate control input!) the direction is correct. If the helicopter wobbles invert the
direction. If the compensation direction is set incorrectly the result will simply be unclean pirouettes, there is no danger.
Misceallenous Settings
These are optional settings which are not necessary for the basic set-up of your Revolution 500E. You can find more information
about this menu in complete FBL-3X manual, which can be found in the download library on www.heli-professional.com
SwPl. Gain / Travel Setting
Same as for the tail, also the gain for the swashplate needs to be adjusted to the model.
By changing the swashplate gain, the cyclic pitch values will also be changed. More swashplate gain means more agility. If the gain
is too high, the stability of the helicopter will decrease and it can start to wobble.
Adjust the swashplate gain value like this:
Choose Fixed Value
è
Set the swashplate gain to 120%
è
Stick Reaction:
Here you can adjust the steering characteristics of your Revolution 500E according to your personal flying skills. Start with soft and
increase the value until you like the agility of the helicopter.
WARNING: Don't forget to save the changes!
