The upgrade versions of HeliCommand
HeliCommand 3D
This version stabilises both the normal flight attitude and the inverted flight
attitude. (In inverted flight this is limited to horizontal stabilisation („yellow"),
because position holding („green") requires a visual link between the
CCD sensor and the ground. Even so, this is sufficient to make inverted hovering
and aerobatics very much easier.) Adjustments are done the same way as with
the HeliCommand 3A. More adjustments are optionally available via PC.
The system does include optical interference suppression for situations
where the CCD sensor is directed towards the sky, but for safety's sake the
stabilisation mode should always be switched from „green" to „yellow" before
you start a session of aerobatics or inverted flight. This is particularly important
for indoor flying, but also for high-speed circuits and flying at fairly high altitudes.
Additional important notes: see "Tips on flying", page 32
HeliCommand RIGID
If your rotor head has no flybar, you must use the HeliCommand RIGID, and
you must activate RIGID mode.
If not, the stabilisation may not work properly due to the occuring turn rates!
All the RIGID-Mode set-up functions can be accessed using the PC adaptor;
they are explained in detail in the HeliCommand set-up software; once you
have selected HeliCommand RIGID as the device type. If you do not change
the set-up using the PC adaptor, the HeliCommand RIGID behaves exactly like
the HeliCommand 3D (page 27).
HeliCommand Profi
The professional version of the HeliCommand is designed for particularly
valuable model helicopters as well as for industrial helicopters and commercial
applications such as filming, still photography, surveying etc. It is designed for
maximum possible precision, and features important supplementary airborne
instruments and other features including auxiliary optics for redundant drift
detection, greater flight altitudes and altitude stabilisation.
