FAQ ALINCO Flymentor 3D User Manual Foreward Thank you for choosing ALINCO Flymentor 3D, it is a high performance intelligent device. The Flymentor 3D is suitable for beginner, it will enable you to hover the helicopter, and makes practicing much easier and less stressful. To gain the best effect, you should configure your Flymentor according to your own condition, because the working of Flymentor relates to mechanism of helicopter. [. . . ] There is a internal gyro in Flymentor 3D, so additional gyro is not necessary. Diagram3. 2. 2 is an example, the connection between receiver and controller should refer to following table. 13 ALINCO Flymentor 3D User Manual 3. 3 Adjusting 'Mounting parameters' The page 'Mounting' is some basic parameters relate to mechanism, they must be configured correctly so that Flymentor 3D can work. The interface is shown as diagram 3. 3. 1, there are three categories: mounting direction, rotor direction, swashplate type. Diagram 3. 3. 1 'Mounting' page 1) Mounting orientation There is an arrow printed on Sensor and CCD of the Flymentor 3D. You can point the arrow to any direction when mounting, but the two arrows must point to same direction ( and lens of CCD must face to ground). After mounting, you should set this parameter according to the 15 ALINCO Flymentor 3D User Manual 2) 3) arrows. Main rotor direction You can look into your rotor, record the rotate direction (clockwise or counter clockwise) , and set this parameter. Swashplate type Select your swashplate type here. * Attention: Please refer to chapter 2 for computer connection and parameters adjustment. 3. 4 Adjusting 'Servos parameters' The page is used for setting servo reverse and neutral. The parameter about servo4 , will be set only under four servo swashplate mode. *Attention: to avoid injury, please unmount main rotor and shut off power! Abbildung 3. 4. 1 'Servo'-Einstellungen 16 ALINCO Flymentor 3D User Manual 3. 4. 1 Servo Reverse You must set reverse before adjusting neutral. It is a little different from adjusting helicopter without Flymentor 3D, the adjusting should be done in Flymentor 3D, not in transmitter!Please do it as following steps: 1 Ensure Flymentor 3D is mounted, and all electronic devices have been connected successfully. Head holding angle range The parameter controls the inertia of turning. The inertia means the extra rotation when you make a direction turning. When you begin moving the rudder stick, it will cause a rotation (head direction changing of the helicopter), when you stop moving the rudder stick, the helicopter will not stop rotation immediately because of the inertia, it will rotate an extra angle before stopping. The parameter controls the angle. 3 4. 2 Adjusting 'Advanced parameters' The page controls working mode of Flymentor 3D. It is strongly recommended to keep them as factory setting when you do not know them well. 23 ALINCO Flymentor 3D User Manual Diagram 4. 2. 1 Advance page 4. 2. 1 Working mode The Flymentor 3D has two working modes: balancing mode and positioning mode. 24 ALINCO Flymentor 3D User Manual 1 Balancing mode Make helicopter horizontal automatically. In this mode, helicopter can keep horizontal flying, and will not be affected by illumination or temperature, but the ground effect and airflow will still effect helicopter. It is recommended to use the mode when indoor flying. Positioning mode Make helicopter horizontal and keep its position automatically. When hovering, you can release aileron and elevator sticks of the transmitter, the Flymentor 3D can make helicopter hover on a fixed point automatically. But even if the position affected by environment, you can still fix the drifting easily.

'Export' button Diagram 5. 1. 1 Export config file In fact, the parameters exported are parameters in the software interface, not parameters in Flymentor 3D. So if you want to export parameters in Flymentor 3D, you must execute a ' Read' operation without any modification before exporting. 5. 2 Import from cfg file Click 'Load' button, then choose the file, settings will be imported from the file without any other notification. If the parameters in the software interface are useful, please export them first before importing cfg file. 28 ALINCO Flymentor 3D User Manual 'Import' button Diagram 5. 2. 1 Import config file After importing, you must click 'Write' button to save them into Flymentor 3D, because the importing only load parameters to the pages for adjusting.
