[. . . ] Please do it as following steps: 1 Ensure Flymentor 3D is mounted, and all electronic devices have been connected successfully. If servo reverse setting is correct, the Flymentor 3D will control swashplate to the opposite side. That means when helicopter lean to left, the swashplate should lean to right (relative to main axis), when helicopter lean to front, the swashplate should lean to rear, etc. See diagram 3. 4. 2. Reaktion Lean helicopter to left side Swash lean to right Diagram 3. 4. 2 Correct Flymentor 3D reaction 6If the reaction is wrong, connect Flyementor with computer, change reverse setting and save it. ( You can keep connection when Lean-testing) 7Repeat step 4, 5 until reactions of all directions are correct. * Attention: to avoid injury, please unmount main rotor and shut off power!17 KDS Flymentor 3D User Manual 3. 4. 2 Servo neutral Servo neutral should be set after reverse is set. Normally, the position means angle between rocker and pole is 90° , like diagram 3. 4. 3. 90° 90° Diagram 3. 4. 3 Servo neutral Before adjusting neutral, you should make the neutral of mechanism on approximate position, then use software for precise adjusting. You should aware that the neutral is mixed neutral, for example, when we adjust the aileron neutral of CCPM120°, servo1 and servo2 will wiggle at the same time ( opposite direction). So you should adjust neutrals by following steps, suppose your swashplate is CCPM120°: 1 Adjust aileron neutral, make servo1 and servo2 same height. 2 Adjust elevator neutral, make servo1, servo2 and servo3 same height (swashplate was horizontal). But if you want better effect, you should adjust the 'Flying parameters'. This chapter will tell you how to adjust these parameters. 4. 1 Adjusting 'Gyro parameters' There is a gyro in Flymentor 3D, this page is used to configure the gyro. You may use the default setting for mostly flying, but for advanced user, it is necessary to make some adjusting to achieve better performance. Diagram 4. 1. 1 Gyro page 21 KDS Flymentor 3D User Manual 4. 1. 1 Gyro settings 1 Gyro sensitivity The sensitivity of gyro can be set from -100 to +100. The positive value means the gyro working under ' head lock' mode, negative value means the gyro working under ' normal mode' . Same as other gyros, the sensitivity should be as large as possible until the tail swings. If Flymentor 3D has connected the sensitivity channel of receiver, the setting in this page will be disabled, the gyro of Flymentor 3D will use the signal from receiver as sensitivity value. If you do not want to modify sensitivity value frequently, you can keep the sensitivity channel empty (the blue line), then the channel on receiver can be used for other using. Normally, the value should be set to maximum, but if you do not like fast changing of direction, you may adjust it as you want. You can choose a suitable value to make better response of gyro to pitch changing. Servo travel limit This parameter controls the signal for tail servo, to avoid mechanical conflict of tail pitch structure . 2 3 4 5 22 KDS Flymentor 3D User Manual 4. 1. 2 Gyro Expert Setting 1 2 Sensor gain The parameter controls the gain of signal amplifier. The response speed of tail servo is slower, the parameter should be set larger. If some high quality servos are used, you should set a little value, such as 0. [. . . ] * Attention: the exporting and importing of config file are all base on the software interface. In another words, when importing, the software loads parameters from config file and updates the elements on the pages, when exporting, the software makes parameters from pages then store them into config file. 6. Restore factory settings You may do some major changes to the setting after many attempts. Because Flymentor 3D is a complicated system, there are some links between each parameter. [. . . ]
