Normally, the position means angle between rocker and pole is 90° , like diagram 3. 4. 3. 90° 90° Diagram 3. 4. 3 Servo neutral Before adjusting neutral, you should make the neutral of mechanism on approximate position, then use software for precise adjusting. You should aware that the neutral is mixed neutral, for example, when we adjust the aileron neutral of CCPM120°, servo1 and servo2 will wiggle at the same time ( opposite direction). So you should adjust neutrals by following steps, suppose your swashplate is CCPM120°: 1 Adjust aileron neutral, make servo1 and servo2 same height. Don't care if the height is enough. 2 Adjust elevator neutral, make servo1, servo2 and servo3 same height (swashplate was horizontal). But if you want better effect, you should adjust the 'Flying parameters'. This chapter will tell you how to adjust these parameters. 4. 1 Adjusting 'Gyro parameters' There is a gyro in Flymentor 3D, this page is used to configure the gyro. You may use the default setting for mostly flying, but for advanced user, it is necessary to make some adjusting to achieve better performance. Diagram 4. 1. 1 Gyro page 21 KDS Flymentor 3D User Manual 4. 1. 1 Gyro settings 1 Gyro sensitivity The sensitivity of gyro can be set from -100 to +100. The positive value means the gyro working under ' head lock' mode, negative value means the gyro working under ' normal mode' . It is recommended to use 'head lock' mode. Same as other gyros, the sensitivity should be as large as possible until the tail swings. If Flymentor 3D has connected the sensitivity channel of receiver, the setting in this page will be disabled, the gyro of Flymentor 3D will use the signal from receiver as sensitivity value. If you do not want to modify sensitivity value frequently, you can keep the sensitivity channel empty (the blue line), then the channel on receiver can be used for other using. Yaw rate This parameter controls the changing speed of direction. Normally, the value should be set to maximum, but if you do not like fast changing of direction, you may adjust it as you want. Yaw expotent This parameter controls the exponent of rudder. Little value will cause fine response in slim motion of stick. Pitch to tail mix This mix can improve effect when pitch changing. You can choose a suitable value to make better response of gyro to pitch changing. Servo travel limit This parameter controls the signal for tail servo, to avoid mechanical conflict of tail pitch structure . 2 3 4 5 22 KDS Flymentor 3D User Manual 4. 1. 2 Gyro Expert Setting 1 2 Sensor gain The parameter controls the gain of signal amplifier. [. . . ] 30 KDS Flymentor 3D User Manual Q: Helicopter dithering under position mode, especially when flying near ground. A: Check following items Decrease Flymentor 3D sensitivity , see section 4. 2. 1 . If AUX channel is used , modify sense in transmitter; If not, modify it in software. The mounting place of CCD may be too low, please try to mount it higher. [. . . ]
