Normal And Stunt Flight Modes - Blade SR Bedienungsanleitung

Normal and Stunt Flight Modes

The HP6DSM transmitter also features a flight mode (F MODE) switch. This switch allows the pilot to toggle between the
normal (0) and stunt/idle up (1) flight modes.
F Mode
Toggling the flight mode switch toward the rear of the transmitter (position 0) puts the transmitter/helicopter in normal flight
mode. In this flight mode, the throttle curve is programmed from 0% to 100%. This is the preferred flight mode for general
hovering.
When the flight mode switch is toggled toward the front of the transmitter (position 1), the transmitter/helicopter will be in
the stunt/idle up flight mode. In this flight mode, the throttle curve can be "V" shaped from 100% to 100% with reduced
throttle at mid-stick (when the SM TCM ADJ knob is in the lowest, most counterclockwise position), or a "flat-line" from 100%
to 100% with 100% throttle at mid-stick (when the SM TCM ADJ knob is in the highest, most clockwise position). This is the
preferred flight mode for most forward/backward flying.
Note: When in stunt mode, even with the throttle stick all the way down, the blades and motors will continue to spin. You
must use the normal flight mode to safely turn off the motors. For safety, the 2-in-1 unit will not arm if the flight
battery is plugged in and the flight mode switch is in the stunt position.

Also, when switching between the normal and stunt flight modes, it is best to do so in the air while flying or transitioning to
forward flight. There may be a slight change of rotor speed while switching modes, so be aware of the possibility of a slight
altitude change. Please be sure to never switch into stunt mode without having powered the main and tail motors up in
normal mode first. The abrupt start could cause damage to the gears, motors or possibly even the 2-in-1 unit.
The stunt mode throttle curve midpoint adjustment (SM TCM ADJ) knob is located on the forward top left panel, next to the
flight mode switch. This knob allows you to adjust the midpoint value of the throttle curve when in the stunt/idle up flight
mode. It has no affect on the throttle curve in the normal flight mode, or on the endpoints of the throttle curve in the stunt/
idle up flight mode.
The SM TCM ADJ knob offers you the ability to adjust the main rotor head speed, and in turn the collective and cyclic control
response of the model between the endpoints of the throttle curve in the stunt flight mode. Typically, a higher main rotor
head speed will result in quicker collective and cyclic control response around middle stick.
For example, when you have the knob in the lowest, most counterclockwise position, the main rotor head speed in hover
(and during transition from positive to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be lower than it is when at the top or bottom of the
throttle/collective stick range.
When you have the knob in the highest, most clockwise position, the main rotor head speed in hover (and during transition
from positive to negative pitch, and vice-versa) will be similar to when you are at the top or bottom of the throttle/collective
stick range. This is generally preferred when flying in breezy conditions, and for the quickest collective and cyclic response.
It is also helpful when performing aerobatics like loops and rolls as it will help to maintain more consistent main rotor head
speeds. This also allows for more consistent tail holding power because the torque and main to tail motor mixing changes
will be minimized throughout the throttle/collective stick range.
Note: Because of the stable settings of the Blade SR, the stunt mode is non-aggressive and basic aerobatics should be
flown for the first time with plenty of altitude until you are accustomed to the control response.
