CAUTION:
WITH THE ORDER OF THIS UNIT YOU INSURE TO US THAT YOU ALWAYS
CONFIGURE THE FLIGHT PHASE 1 WITH COMPLETE CONTROL OFF FOR ALL 3
AXES.
(You can switch the complete control off in the particular „Tuning“ Menu for aileron, elevator
and rudder). The big advantage of this measure is that if you configured something wrong in
the other flight phases (wrong sensor direction of rotation or too high P and I values), you
can switch back to flight phase 1 and the models flies like before without GyroBot.
Please do also use the flight phase 1(control for all axes OFF) always for starting and landing
as long as you are not very familiar with the system.
Another reason for the basic necessity of a flight phase without any control is if there are
sensor failures or errors for any reason, your model perhaps would become uncontrollable if
the control of the GyroBot is on. In these cases you can switch back to flight phase 1 (control
for all axes OFF) and your model can be controlled by you as if you don´t use a GyroBot.
GyroBot 900 Wing does NOT know, if a flight attitude is right or wrong. If you bring the model
into a vertical nose dive and loose the sticks the Gyrobot will also keep the model in this
direction until it crashes. Furtermore it cannot work against the physics. So if there is a stall
also the GyroBot cannot help.
When should the control always stay OFF ?
1. During approach and landing the elevator control should always be OFF, because with
active elevator control a stall would not signalize itself before (the model does not take the
nose a bit down like without control), but it would come very abruptly. The model would keep
its attitude as long as the stall comes very abruptly.
Thereforee please note the following: ELEVATOR CONTROL ALWAYS OFF DURING
APPROACH, LANDING AND ALL SLOW AND LOW FLIGHTS WITH UNSUITABLE
MODELS.
2. During stationary stand or if the plane will be carried or driven to the starting point the
control of all 3 axes should be off. (Please use flight phase 1 here).
The reason is as follows: GyroBot only can work correct if the control circuit is closed i.e. if
the plane can rotate around all degrees of freedom. This is not warrantied if the model does
not yet fly. So the model could not follow the corrections of the Gyrobot and as soon as it
would lift off it would make a short but very fast move (as long as the control circuit is
closed). We want to avoid this „Moment of Shock“, so please don´t switch on the control
before the model is in the air (as long as you are very familiar with the system).
The right procedure for the start is as follows:
If you carry or drive the model to the starting point, please always use flight phase 1
(complete control OFF). During the start you can use a flight phase with only the rudder
control ON, if you want. If the model is in the air, you can switch to a flight phase with control
ON on all axes, if you want this.
PLEASE DO NOT START WITH CONTROL ON FOR AILERON AND ELEVATOR !!!
