Chapter –XIIV-Stabi - Connection and ProgrammationWelcome to the manual of the Henseleit V-Stabi for the TDR. No matter if you are computer or electronic expert or beginner,in this chapter you are guided step-by-step through the installation of the system and you will be astonished how easy it canbe.The RIGID by Henseleit Helicopters is a truely „rigid“ helicopter, i. e. it cannot be operated by a flybar, is completely flybarlessand requires an electronic control system.We have decided to co-operate with Ulrich Röhr (Mikado Modellhubschauber). Ulrich Röhr is the inventor of the firstelectronic control system for model helicopters (V-Stabi 1999) and has the greatest experience in this field. Tests have shownthat the V-Stabi meets all the demands we made regarding such a system.The system offers excellent flight properties while hovering as well as during high-speed flights and the hardest 3D flightproperties, but most of all the greatest advantages are easy installation and operation.The suitable „electronic“ setup is decisive. The basic requirements regarding the perfect setup are identical:−−−−−Stable flight characteristics in all situationsPerfect and precise stopping behaviour during control inputsSolid hoveringNo pitching even at high speedHigh and reliable tail holding powerDuring extensive flight tests with pilots such as Robert Sixt, Jan Henseleit, Matt Finke, and Ulrich Röhr we have developed asetup meeting all demands of beginners or top 3D pilots and ensuring all these properties and adjustments.This setup is part of the installation and will later be installed on the system step-by-step. So every TDR is a perfectlyadjusted system and ready to fly within a short time.The flight characteristics of an electronically controlled TDR cannot be compared to a mechanical solution, i. e. a flybar, andclearly get ahead of these systems regarding the precision and the stability of the helicopter. In addition, they are offered overa wide range of speed.A V-Stabi is not an autopilot, in every situation you have to control the helicopter yourself!

Scope of delivery1X sensor1X central unit4X patch cable 80mm1X additional patch cable AUX1X USB cable1X Installation CDLet us start with the installation of the TDR components. The sensor is attached to the sensor platform of the TDR using theincluded adhesive pad. Make sure that it is mounted at right angles. After the assembly the cable of the sensor should pointto the flight direction or if it is not possible for lack of space, it should point to the back (make sure that it does not point to theside).The central unit of the V-Stabi can be installed at an optional place. At first check, if the included patch cables reach thereceiver and servo cables reach the central unit. It is recommended to attach the central unit directly to the tail servo using ahigh-quality mirror tape.So all connectors are easily accessible from outside and the wiring is also very easy. In addition you can see the cables wellfor a pre-flight check. (Make sure that the cables are secured, that there is not any high voltage at the cables, that they do notbent or rub against another part.)When using the V-Stabi the power consumption of the receiver system with four digital servos is increased by 50% comparedto a flybar head system. The supply voltage is between 3.5 and 9 Volts. Ensure a safe and sufficient power supply evenduring the current peaks.The three servos of the swash plates can reach peaks of up to 15A in the cases of high load.Use suitable cables (two connections to the receiver are recommended) and make sure that the used power source has asufficient capacity. Tests have shown that the BEC of a Kontronik Jive 80+HV which is connected via both receiver powersupplies is usually sufficient. However depending on the use and on the assembled servos we cannot give any guarantee forthe single use of the BEC.Make sure that the cables are not loose and are secured, e. g. with cable ties. The sensor cable is especially important (theconnector of the sensor cable should be secured with a drop of hot glue at the housing of the central unit).Wiring of the central unitAfter the assembly the central unit is connected to the servos and the receiver.Adjust the transmitter such that only 4 single channels are transmitted (Mode H1, mechanically mixed swash plate – as youknow from the simulator -).The mixing of the swash plate is ensured by the central unit, every control function is individually transferred to the centralunit (pitch, fore & aft cyclic, cyclic roll, tail).Make sure that in all flight phases there are not any active mixers in your transmitter. All these tasks are now taken over bythe V-Stabi.Now connect the inputs of the V-Stabi central unit to the outputs of your receiver. In the manual of your transmitter you cansee which of the 4 functions pitch, cyclic roll, fore & aft cyclic, and tail is assigned to the single receiver outputs.Please mind the correct slot (see connection plan on the following page).The connection for the 4. Servo (Channel 4) remains free or can be used for the second power supply of the slave cable fromthe Jive controller.The tail servo is inserted at the outer area. Please mind the polarity of the connecting cables. As indicated on the labelling ofthe V-Stabi the ground wire (usually brown or black) has to point to the top and to the labelling.Attention! The inscription of the labelling is smaller than the connection plug board, but the sequence of the positions is thesame.37
