Never enable low battery autoland unless you have a correctly calibrated current sensor connected to
the MicroVector!
If you are in a non-altitude hold flight mode, the low battery alert will appear, but the throttle will not
be affected.Since the MicroVector knows both the present voltage and present current provided by the battery,
it is able to approximately determine the “no load” battery voltage even when the battery is under load, so you
only need to enter the desired no load per-cell voltage for landing, rather than trying to estimate the voltage
under load.
The MicroVector automatically calculates the cell count, by default. If you wish to manually enter the
cell count, you can do this under the Calibration menu described later.
6.12.9 Setting Flat Level Mounting
Before flying, the MicroVector needs to correct for any controller mounting offsets that could affect level flight.
To do this, place the model so that it is perfectly level (on a level counter or floor), invoke menu mode, and
select “Record Flat Level Mounting” from the “New Airframe Checklist” menu.
6.12.10 Rezeroing Gyros
The MicroVector gyros are factory zeroed, but it never hurts to rezero them occasionally, as this can potentially
improve stabilizer performance. The MicroVector does not need to be perfectly level to rezero gyros, but it
must remain COMPLETELY STILL during the rezeroing process. To rezero, select the "Rezero Gyros (must be
still!)” menu item under the “Preflight Checklist” menu.
It’s best to rezero the gyros after the model has adjusted to the temperature at your flying location.
Never try to rezero gyros with a fixed wing model in the wind, as the wind can buffet the model, which
could cause a rezeroing error.
