5.5. Flight mode conguration
The next stage is to dene the gyro function requi-
red for each ight mode. This setting denes the
task which the iGyro is to carry out in ight modes
1, 2 and 3. Note that in ight mode 1 the Assistant
only permits the functions OFF or RATE MODE.
Important point concerning the Flight Mode set-
tings which are pre-dened in the Assistant: these can be altered at any time in the
Gyro Settings menu. For example, if you have dened one ight mode as Rate Mode,
and you wish, say, to activate Attitude Assist on the ailerons, you can do this at any
time in the Gyro Settings menu.
As of Version V07 it is also possible to assign a Gain channel to individual axes, and
ne-tune the gain of that axis in ight. You will nd more information on this under
Input Mapping.
The following options are available:
- OFF: The iGyro is disabled.
- RATE MODE: The iGyro operates in Normal mode on all control surfaces.The gyro
simply compensates for gusts of wind.
- ATT ASSIST STD:
Since the English terms “Heading mode” and “Hold mode” are not quite applicable to
the way the iGyro works, we have decided to adopt the name “Attitude Assist Mode”
for its unique control characteristics. If the Attitude Assist Standard option is selec-
ted, the iGyro maintains the model’s attitude, as last commanded by the pilot, around
the roll and pitch axes (aileron and elevator). At the same time the rudder operates
in Normal mode, so that turns can be own in the usual manner. The Attitude Assist
Mode only operates at the neutral position of the sticks. As soon as the pilot gives a
command, the iGyro switches to Normal mode. The result is 100% natural handling
in the air. This function is recommended for all models, and can be left active for ta-
ke-off, ying and landing. The control characteristics of the iGyro eliminate the need
to worry about stalling, which can occur with conventional gyro systems.
