EN Type Dimensions (L × W × H) Weight Voltage Range SPMFC6250HX FC6250HX Helicopter Flybarless System 42.5 x 24 x 13.6mm (1.67 x 0.94 x 0.54in) 13g (0.46oz) 4.8V – 8.4V Introduction The Spektrum™ FC6250HX flight controller is the heart of your radio control helicopter experience. As a 3-axis stability system for your flybarless helicopter, the FC6250HX can be set up and tuned using your Spektrum transmitter as a forward programming interface.
EN Installation 1. The FC6250HX flight controller must be attached to the airframe with the servo connector block facing either forward or aft. The side of the FC2650HX facing the main rotor disc must be parallel to the rotor disc. 2. Use one mounting pad (SPMA3032) to secure the FC6250HX to the airframe. NOTICE: Do not connect the swash plate, throttle or tail rotor servos until the servo frequency has been configured. Failure to do so may result in damage to the servo and/or your model.
EN Before You Get Started The FC6250HX flight controller is setup, programmed, and tuned via the Forward Programming menu on a compatible aircraft Spektrum radio system. Visit spektrumrc.com for a list of Forward Programming capable transmitters and updated transmitter firmware. • Before entering Forward Programming, engage Throttle Hold. • Before exiting Forward Programming, lower the throttle to the full stop position.
EN 2. If you are using a remote receiver without a bind button see the section Binding with Optional Second Remote Receiver for more information. Power ON the FC6250HX flight controller and press the bind button on each remote. The remote will begin flashing, indicating it is ready to bind. Lower the throttle stick to the stop position on the transmitter, and enter bind mode.
EN 10. Place a pitch gauge on a main rotor blade and zero it out. • Align the blade with the roll axis, apply full right cyclic, and adjust the AFR until your pitch gauge reads 12.5. • Align the blade with the pitch axis and zero the pitch gauge. Apply full aft cyclic, and adjust the AFR until your pitch gauge reads 12.5. 11. Adjust the Collective AFR to set your desired collective pitch range. Remove the pitch gauge. Select Back twice to return to the Setup menu. The swashplate setup is complete. 12.
EN 17. Exit Forward Programming. Configure the throttle settings according to the instructions provided by your ESC or Internal Combustion Engine and Transmitter manufacturer. 18. Once throttle setup is complete, enter Forward Programming mode, and select the SetupThrottleFailsafe menu. 19. Lower the throttle stick to the full stop position, and select Capture to record the throttle failsafe position. Select Back to return to the SetupThrottle menu. 20.
EN Operation Preflight Checklist ❏ Inspect the model, wiring, and electrical components. ❏ Activate Normal Flight Mode on the transmitter. ❏ Activate Throttle Hold on the transmitter. Lower the throttle to stop or idle. ❏ Power ON the transmitter. ❏ Power ON the model, and wait for initialization to complete. ❏ Complete the tailrotor and cyclic tests. ❏ Connect the flight pack to the ESC (electric models). ❏ Verify that all connected remote receivers display a solid orange LED.
EN SMART Technology Telemetry Spektrum SMART Technology provides telemetry information including battery voltage and temperature. A firmware update for your transmitter may be required. To view SMART Telemetry: 1. The SMART Logo appears under the battery logo on the home page. A signal bar appears in the top left corner of the screen. 2. Scroll past the servo monitor to view SMART technology screens.
EN 4. Cyclic Response (Default 100%) Higher cyclic response will result in a more aggressive cyclic response Lower cyclic response will result in a less aggressive cyclic response. 5. Tailrotor P Gain Adjustment (Default 85%) Higher gain will result in greater stability. Setting the gain too high may result in random twitches if your model has an excessive level of vibration. High frequency oscillations may also occur if the gain is set too high. Lower gain may result in a decrease in stability.
EN The SAFE Panic Recovery function is activated by setting up the following mix within the transmitter: Mixing P-Mix 1 Normal Channels Rate Offset Switch Position Ger > Gyr 125%/0% –100% Switch I 0 1 To activate the SAFE Panic Recovery function, move the collective stick to the center position and press the bind button (switch I) on your transmitter. The SAFE Stability function can be enabled within the forward programming SAFE menu.
EN 1. Level the model using a bubble level on the roll and pitch axis, power on and initialize the system. Bubble Level Foam Blade Holder 2. Go to the System Setup menu and select Calibrate. 3. Select Apply. A red flashing light during calibration indicates the model is either not level or not stationary. Level the model, taking care to keep it still. A yellow flashing light during calibration indicates the calibration is proceeding normally. 4. After the calibration is successful, the LED flashes green.
