  • Page 4 The Spektrum™ FC6350HX flybarless system is the heart of your helicopter flying experience. As a 3-axis stability system for your flybarless helicopter, the FC6350HX can be set up and tuned using your Spektrum transmitter as a forward programming interface. That means all of the system settings can be programmed through your transmitter without the need for an additional interface or device.

  • Page 5: Installation

    Installation 1. The FC6350HX Flybarless System must be attached to the airframe with the servo connector facing either forward or aft. The side of the FC6350HX facing the main rotor disc must be parallel to the rotor disc. 2. Use one mounting pad (SPMA3032) to secure the FC6350HX to the airframe.

  • Page 6: Esc Connection

    Port 2 Port 1 Before Setup The FC6350HX Flybarless System is setup, programmed, and tuned via the Forward Programming menu on a compatible Spektrum aircraft radio system. A firmware update on your transmitter may be required to access Forward Programming. Visit spektrumrc.com to register and update your transmitter.

  • Page 7: Led Indications For Reference, Setup Required

    Transmitter Setup 1. Create a new default helicopter model on your Spektrum Transmitter. 2. Go to the Flight Mode Setup menu (System Settings in DX and NX transmitters, Model Setup in iX transmitters) and select Hold Switch: Inhibit and assign a switch.

  • Page 8: Fc6350Hx Setup

    The FC6350HX LED will begin flashing green, indicating a successful bind. A red flashing LED indicates binding was not successful. Repeat step 1. 2. In the transmitter menu, select Forward Programming.
  • Page 9 6. Select Back, and navigate to the Direction menu. When you move the collective pitch stick up, the swashplate must respond with the correct positive pitch action. Set the Direction in the Output Setup menu to ensure a positive collective stick movement results in the correct positive blade movement.
  • Page 10 8. Select the AFR menu. Verify the roll and pitch cyclic are moving in the correct directions by moving the cyclic stick. Most helicopters have a leading edge control main blade grip, and the Roll and cyclic Pitch values will be positive. The only reason to use a negative value to acheive proper swashplate control is for trailing edge main blade grip designs.
  • Page 11 13. Navigate to the Direction menu. Move the tail rotor stick on the transmitter to the right and ensure the tail rotor servo is moving the correct direction. If not, reverse the channel direction on the FC6350HX. 14. Select Subtrim to center the tail rotor servo. The linkage should be perpendicular to the servo arm.
  • Page 12 FC6350HX mounting orientation on your helicopter. The system will ask you to perform the sensor calibration after setting the sensor mounting orientation. Level the side of the FC6350HX that faces upwards and select Apply to complete the sensor calibration step.

  • Page 13: Operation

    ❏ Confirm that the transmitter roll, pitch, yaw and collective inputs correspond to the helicopter controls and are operating the controls in the correct direction. ❏ Confirm that the FC6350HX is compensating in the correct directions for roll pitch and yaw. ❏ Review all operational instructions before flying your model.

    Forward Programming Menu Reference Main Menu Swashplate Roll Degrees°/per second: Roll rate at 100% travel. Proportional, Integral, Derivative: See Gain Adjustment in this manual for more information Pitch Degrees°/per second: Cyclic Pitch rate at 100% travel. Proportional, Integral, Derivative: See Gain Adjustment in this manual for more information Agility Defines how quickly the flybarless system reacts to your inputs.
  • Page 15 SAFE Stability Gain: Determines how aggressively the Flybarless System attempts to hold level flight with no input. Envelope: An angle setting which determines the limit where the helicopter will no longer pitch or roll past Stability: May be set On or Off for each flight mode. Panic Envelope: An angle setting which determines the limit where the helicopter will no longer pitch or roll past.
  • Page 16 E-Ring: Prevents binding or overdriving swash servos when moving sticks to the extremes. Forces the swashplate to operate in a circular motion if you stir the stick into corners of the gimbal. Phasing: If the helicopter flips and rolls off axis phasing can be adjusted so the performance is precisely on axis with no cross control.
  • Page 17 Gain Channel: This is an optional feature and can be set to INH if desired. The Tailrotor gains in the FC6350HX are the base gains and the optional Gain Channel is used to increase or decrease the tail gain per flight mode.

  • Page 18: Gain Adjustment

    Gain Adjustment The main Forward Programming displays flight control adjustments under Swashplate and Tailrotor. After the tail gains are fairly close, use the transmitter gyro gain function to adjust the gain for each flight mode. 1. Cyclic P Gain Adjustment (Default 50%) Higher gain will result in greater stability.

  • Page 19: Safe® Technology And Panic Recovery (Optional)

    7. Tailrotor D Gain Adjustment (Default 10%) Higher gain will improve the response rate to your inputs. If raised too far, high frequency oscillations may occur. Lower gain will slow down the response to inputs, but will not have an effect on stability.

  • Page 20: Calibration

    Calibration The FC6350HX is calibrated at the factory. Recalibrate the unit if the panic or stability functions do not return to level or if there is a slow drift in the roll, pitch, or yaw axis: The calibration is performed in the selected mounting orientation with the FC6350HX side facing upward being level.

  • Page 21: Smart Technology Telemetry (Optional)

    1. Remove the telemetry remote cable from the BND/PRG/RX2 port. 2. Insert a bind plug into the BND/PRG/RX2 port. 3. Power ON the FC6350HX, the orange LED on the remote receiver will begin to flash to indicate it is in bind mode.

  • Page 22: Fm Channel (Optional)

    FM Channel (Optional) It is not neccesary to use this feature for many configurations, and may add confusion when not required (a set of PID values of for each flight mode results in up to 45 separate values which require separate tuning). Only use this feature to tune for isolated problems, or for enabling SAFE features in specific flight modes.

  • Page 23: Governor Setup (Optional)

    Slowly rotate your engine until the magnet or optical surface is aligned with the sensor and the FC6350HX will show a solid blue LED indication. If the LED indication occurs when the sensor is not aligned with the magnet or optical surface, then invert the sensing direction using the RPM Sensor [Normal/ Reverse] option.
  • Page 24 Once the model is flying optimally on the throttle curves alone and you have determined what head speeds you want to run on the model you can begin setting up the FC6350HX Nitro Governor. Nitro Governor Setup To utilize different a head speed for each flight mode it is necessary to assign a channel to the FM Channel function to enable Flight Mode Switching, further details can be found in the FM Channel section of this manual.
