Rigid-stabilisation includes the following options:
(also see PC software for further details)
[OFF] mode
Equals the HeliCommand 3D. Not suitable for flybar-less helicopters!
[FIX] mode
Activates the RIGID function permanently, in addition to Hor.- and Pos.-mode
as defined by Pilot channel. In this mode, the sensitivity / gain can not be redu-
ced during flight using the Pilot channel. It remains as defined by PC software
in the „Rigid" menu. Excessive gain can cause dangerous oscillating move-
ments. For finding the best gain setting we recom-mend to use the modes
[FADER] or [EXTREME].
[FADER] (scale) and [EXTREM] (aerobatics) mode
Suitable for finding the optimum rigid gain setting and for more agile fly-
ing. Disables Hor.- and Pos.-mode (conventional control). With pilot chan-
nel at travel end (100% in either direction) gain becomes as defined at the
PC for aileron and elevator - same as the mode [FIX] does. Pilot signal to-
wards the centre will reduce these gains proportionally; at neutral remain
33% of the PC gain settings, as a minimum. A good gain is about 30% be-
low the onset of oscillation in speedy flight. If later you switch to [FIX]
mode, you must reduce the gain setting via PC by the same proportion as
found on the pilot slider. (E.g. Rigid-sens-gain (roll) = 7, Slider = 70% =>
new Rigid gain = 7 x 70% = 4.9, i.e. set to 5).
