Range
Two ranges are available, each of which can be adjusted separately for each axis:
range A and range B. Range A applies to values of the gain control (or gain switch,
once set up) between 0% and +100%, while range B runs from 0% to -100%. At 0%
the iGyro is completely disabled.
This enables you to set up two ranges: one range with Attitude Assist and a se-
cond without Attitude Assist. You can select either range in flight by means of a
switch.
•
Attitude Assist
We selected the term Attitude Assist because the iGyro's "Heading" actually dif-
fers substantially from the Hold modes used by other gyro manufacturers. Attitu-
de Assist can also be used on the elevator without any problem, as it is only active
at the stick's centre point, and there is no risk of causing a stall. As soon as the
stick is moved, Attitude Assist is disabled, and the model 'feels' perfectly normal.
Once the Setup Assistant has been completed, Attitude Assist is active on aileron
in range B by default.
•
Characteristic
Changing this value hardens and softens the regulatory behaviour of the iGyro. If
the model appears to respond too abruptly in gusty conditions, you should chan-
ge the value in the direction of Soft. If you think that the iGyro responds too slowly
to gusts of wind, change it in the direction of Ultra.
•
Stick Priority
The default value for this menu point is 100%, which means that the gyro function
is completely suppressed when the stick is moved to its end-point. If you set stick
priority to 200%, for example, the gyro function will be completely suppressed
when the stick is at half-travel. The result is a more agile model, but at the cost of
a faster reduction in gyro effect as the stick movement is increased.
•
Locking characteristics
This feature affects the model's ability to 'lock' in manoeuvres such as four-point
rolls. If the value is set too high, the result is a tendency to overshoot or oscillate
at the moment the stick is released. If the value is too low, the locking may not
appear sufficiently sharp.
•
Airspeed Factor
This value defines the effect of speed-dependent variation in gyro gain. The set-
ting only applies if a GPS III is connected to FastTrack as well as an iGyroSAT.
