2. ON/OFF switch for gyro suppression
Gyro suppression can also be switched on and off in
flight with a physical switch. All you have to do is
assign a switch (e.9. Sl - 55) under the "Suppression"
Ootion. At the same time this switch can be set to
switch in the Dual Rates Option for yaw control, to pre'
vent unwanted tail rotor servo movement.

The transmitter controls
You may well have read through the information
concerning fixed-wing models in order to understand
how the system works (no bad idea), but please note
that you must never adopt the transmitter control
desighations of the fixed-wing pilot. You may be
tempted to think: aileron - well, that's roll, and lcan
remember that easily.
You may be able to remember it, but that's not good
enough for your transmitter. Enter "Aileron", and it will
give up with an error message, but usually not until
you have finished your setting-up procedure.
That's enough of the preaching.
Assuminq that vour transmitter is at the Status display,
press t-he kbys EIZ N Z
to reach ASSIGN
CONTROLS. Activate the input field Z and press the
El key to reach control "4".
"A" is the left-hand stick unit (the letters are printed on
the transmitter). Release this input field with the fl
key (field flashes). Leaf through the suggested control
list with the E or El keys until you find the required
function.
For examole:
A controls ROLL; now press the Z key, and E once.
In the display you see "B controls . . . " (something or
other). Press 5l again, and select the required
f unction with the El or E keys or the Digi Adjustor.
B controls COLLECTIVE PITCH (or, if you prefer,
PrTCH-AXrS).
The orocedure should be obvious now
Continue this process until you have assigned
functions to all the transmitter controls you need.
Assign "-----"
(Nothing) to controls you don't
need. However, please don't assign the same function
to two controls, e.g. "E controls throttle
controls throttle"! On no account forget to assign
"THROTTLE" to one of the sliders (E or F).
Now you will need your helicopter; or at least a
receiving system complete with servos.
Go back to the 'ASSIGN" menu with the El key, and
branch to SERVO with S. We will begin with servo No.3.
The servo sequence is not binding, but please keep to
our suggestions while we deal with our examples.

Servo 3 is the servo which controls the tail rotor. So
press the N key again (the servo No. will flashl and
move to servo 3 with the El key. Now press the El key
to release the input field (field flashes). Use the E or
El keys or the Digi Adjustor to select the
"TAIL
ROTOR" mixer. ll you now move the yaw stick (and if
your receiving system is switched on), the tail rotor
servo will move. Move the collective pitch stick, and
the same servo should also respond.
Normally you would assign all the servos in turn, and
then make any adjustments necessary. This time,
however, we will run through the procedure step by
srep.
Press the E) key repeatedly until you return to Menu 1.
Branch to servo Adjustment with the Z key, press the
E key (CENTRE) and check that all servos are at Oo/o.
lf not, press Z (input field flashes), set them to 00/o
with the El and E keys, then leave the menu with the
@ key. Otherwise leave the menu immediately with
@. Nöw branch to TRAVEL + REVERSE with the Z
kev. You will see this:

Check the direction of effect of the yaw servo. lf the
servo rotates in the wrong direction, activate the
appropriate input field with the f) key and press @
once: the prefix will alter, and your tail rotor servo will
be reversed for the yaw input.
Now the collective pitch input:
Press the Z key and El until COLLECTIVE PITCH
appears. work out in which direction the tail rotor must
deJlect in order to compensate {or the torque effect of
the main rotor. lf necessary, reverse this for maximum
collective pitch, as described for the yaw input.
