11 using gyro modes
The table of the gyro channel (Section 8) indicates various uses. Caution: this only applies to factory programming for bench 1 and bench 2 (standard or default, i.e.
without PC software). Once the PC setup software (under development) is available, it will be possible to programme any number of functions for each of the 3 gyros.
If the transmitter has a flight condition switch, it may make sense to couple the gyro channel setting with various flight conditions. For example, at a higher
speed, it is possible to switch to a lower gyro sensitivity.
Normal mode
Attenuates disturbances and smoothes the flight performance.
The gyros tend to reduce agility. The expo setting can therefore be reduced in the transmitter in most cases or even completely switched off. The rudder can also
delay a turning movement because of the gyro. This is ideal for aerobatics and makes knife-edge flying easier. However, this can indicate a tendency to lean for
normal turns. Then fly out of turns with a little rudder.
The normal mode can also remain activated even during lift-off and landing in most models.
Hold-Mode
For automatic hovering, torque and harrier etc. For technical reasons, this mode is only suitable for normal forward flight under certain conditions.
1) The model may vibrate or swing because of the high sensitivity of the sensor as the speed is increased.
2) The gyros try to hold the model in position against the pilot's control inputs. It may be that the model is being steered more rigorously or swings back some-
what after the stick is deflected.
( ! ) Do not land in hold mode! The model would then no longer be able to follow its physical reactions and may crash more easily.
Hold mode may influence the rudder's neutral setting (drifting away from centre). This only occurs on the ground and is not relevant in flight.
