Flt.c (Flight Conditions Or "Idle-Up's") - HITEC OPTIC6 SPORT2.4 Instruction Manual

SWAH (120 Swash Plate Programming)
servos to respond properly. Don't worry about the direction
they respond, just that they all move the same for collective
and tilt for aileron and elevator.
4. Call up the swash screen by repeatedly pressing one of the
Up Down EDIT buttons until the SWAH window appears.
The function is automatically active when you select 120'
mixing in the model setup menu.
5. If all the servos raise the swash with increasing collective,
go to the next step. If they lower the swash, press the
CURSOR Right button twice to get to the collective setting
menu (the arrow appears over the number 6).
Now press the DATA -Decrease button until the sign is
reversed in front of the percentage value. Now the swash
should properly respond to collective. If you've done the
wrong thing, you can reset the percentage by pressing the
Active/Inhibit (Clear) button.

FLT.C (Flight Conditions or "Idle-Up's")

FLT.C Flight Conditions or "Idle-Up's"
Your Optic system's HELI menu provides three flight modes in
addition to the normal one (NOR). Within each condition, you
may program an independent set of dual rates, exponentials,
throttle and pitch curves, revolution mixing, and gyro gain.
In the HELI menus, these are automatically called up whenever
you switch to a new condition.
NOR is intended for hovering flight. ST1 may be used for
forward flight and mild aerobatics, ST2 may be used for inverted,
and ST3 is used for autorotations as it includes a throttle
hold feature which disengages the throttle servo from collective
commands. These conditions are activated whenever the model
memory is chosen to be HELI type
The defaults for the switches controlling these flight
conditions are as follows:
- NOR: ON when Flt. Mode (SW-3) Switch is BACK.
- ST1: ON when Flt. Mode (SW-3) Switch CENTER.
- ST2: ON when Flt. Mode (SW-4) Switch is FORWARD
- ST3: ON when SW-1 is DOWN. (For Throttle Hold only)
As these functions are switched on or off, ST3 = HOLD has
highest priority, followed by ST2 and ST1. Regular settings (NOR)
occur when all of the others are off.

6. If all the servos tilt the swash to the right with right aileron
stick, go to the next step. If they tilt the swash to the left,
press the CURSOR Right button once to get to the aileron
setting menu (the arrow appears over the number 1).
Reverse the sign in front of the percentage with the
DATA -Decrease button.
Now the swash should properly respond to aileron.
7. If all the servos tilt the swash aft with up elevator stick, go to
the next step. If they tilt the swash forwards, press the
CURSOR Right button once to get to the elevator setting
menu (the arrow appears over the number 2).
Now press the DATA -Decrease button until the sign is
reversed in front of the percentage value. Now the swash
should properly respond to elevator.
8. Double check that all three functions, collective, aileron, and
elevator, produce the desired result on the swashplate.
Do not set any SWAH values to 0% or you will disable the
response to that control!
Throttle and pitch curves, revolution mixing, and gyro gain may
be independently selected for each condition.
Here are some suggested starting settings if your instructions do
not provide any:

Pitch -4 deg. +0.5 +6.0 +7.5 +9.0
Pitch Curve ST2

Pitch -9 deg. -6.0 0 6.0 9 or 10.0
Pitch Curve ST3 (HOLD)
Point 1 (low) 2 3 4 5 (high)
Pitch -4 deg. -- +6.5 -- +12
