3.7 ADDITIONAL FEATURES

By default the iGyro in the receiver is set up to suit the vast majority of pilots per-
fectly. Nevertheless, we have integrated additional expert functions in order to
cater for all possible cases in the optimum way.
- Attitude/Smart Assist:
ON/OFF:
We decided to use the term Attitude Assist because "Heading" in the iGyro differs
significantly from the Heading modes employed by other manufacturers. Attitude
Assist can immediately be used on aileron and elevator for normal flight situations,
and is active only at the Centre position of the sticks. As soon as the stick is moved,
Attitude Assist is disabled, and the model provides the same feeling of response to
commands as without a gyro.
In this way inverted flight is possible without requiring elevator correction. For
knife-edge flight the aileron and elevator are held, so the pilot only has to control the
rudder.
SMART ASSIST:
The new Smart Assist is a further development of Attitude Assist, and can be con-
sidered as a hybrid between Attitude Assist and Normal mode. Smart Assist can be
switched on for all flight manoeuvres. By default Smart Assist is active in Range A
for aileron and elevator. Smart Assist can also be used for the rudder; the only
negative effect of this is a slight 'tail down' attitude.
Inverted flight without requiring elevator correction is possible in this mode, but this
does depend on the model. In knife-edge flight aileron and elevator are held up to a
certain point, but rudder needs to be controlled manually.
