    R/N DYNAMIC Higher dynamic values provide a more direct feel for the flight (3D flight 50 ... 100), lower dynamic values for smoother flight record- ings, rounder freestyle flying and races (30 ... 50). Note If a channel is selected in the "R / N DYNAMIC" line, but no encoder is assigned to it on the transmitter side, the value in brackets is specified.

    otherwise the value must be reduced or the compass calibration and voltage calibration have to be repeated. Pos hold D The POS HOLD D value compensates the acceleration (wind gusts) of the GOS position and it must be adjusted so that it is compensated as well as possible.
  • Page 23 MODE CONTROLLER SETTING (Not necessary with DSHOT) To initialize the controller, the signal of the motor / pitch control stick of the transmitter is transmitted directly to the speed controller of the copter. Setting the speed controllers step-by-step 1. Remove rotors for safety reasons 2.
  • Page 24 propellers immediately before starting the flight operation and start and land exclusively in "attitude mode". During prolonged extreme aerobatics of the copter in Acro 3D mode (e.g. , sequence> 1min), the receiver may lose its attitude information and, as a result, the copter may move to an undesired position when switching to attitude mode.
  • Page 25 If the copter has turned back to the normal position <90 degrees tilt, then switch the motor switch back to off. The next time the motors are switched on, the normal flight mode is active again and the direc- tion of rotation of the motors is back to normal. If the direction of rotation of the motors does not reverse when the copter is upside down, then the BL Heli S controllers have to be updated to version 16.7.

  • Page 30: Axis Assignment

    AXIS ASSIGNMENT Note The gyroscope calibration, required each time the copter is switched on, takes place as soon as the copter or its receiver is absolutely quiet. The motors will not start until the calibration is completed. After approx. 3 seconds in the rest position, several beeps can be heard from all motors.
  • Page 31 9. Turn the copter clockwise by more than 45 degrees to the right. As soon as the detected axis with the required sign is displayed in "normal" representation, the axis assignation is completed. The gyros and their operating directions have now been assigned. Attention To be on the safe side, the directions of action of the gyroscope set- tings must be checked.
