Flight Tuning

Flight Tuning holds the settings you change most at the field: PIDs, rates, the governor and the rotor settings. The pages are the same settings as the Configurator's, so each section below links to the page that explains them.

The Flight Tuning menu

The menu scrolls: below Advanced there is a further row with Rescue and Rate Options.

Most of these pages belong to a PID or rate profile, shown in the title as PIDs #1 and so on. To work on another profile, switch to it (from the radio, or with Select Profile) and the page follows.

PIDs​

P, I, D, F, O and B for roll, pitch and yaw.

PIDs page

See Profiles.

Rates​

RC Rate, Rate and RC Expo for roll, pitch, yaw and collective, for the active rate profile. The column headings follow the rate type chosen under Rate Options → Rate Table.

Rates page

See Rates.

Tune Advisor​

Unlike the other pages, the Tune Advisor is the radio's own. While you fly in rate mode, the flight controller measures how the model answers the sticks, and each time you disarm the radio stores that flight's results. Pick an axis to see how it responds and stops, and what the advisor suggests changing and why. Tool clears the data it has collected.

Tune Advisor page

Governor​

The governor's per-profile settings, in two pages: General (head speed, throttle limits, fallback drop and gains) and Behaviour (precomp, spoolup, voltage compensation and dynamic minimum throttle). The governor's mode and timing are under Setup → Governor.

Governor, General page

See Governor and Tune Governor.

Filters​

The gyro lowpass filters (type, cutoff, and dynamic range) and the notch filters. The page scrolls.

Filters page

See First Flight Filter Tuning.

PID Controller​

How the PID loop handles error: ground and in-flight error decay, error limits, HSI offset limit and I-term relax. The page scrolls.

PID Controller page

See Profiles.

PID Bandwidth​

Cutoff frequencies for the gyro, D-term and B-term, per axis.

PID Bandwidth page

Autolevel​

Gain and maximum angle for Acro Trainer and Angle mode, and the Horizon mode gain.

Autolevel page

See Modes.

Main Rotor​

Collective pitch compensation and cyclic cross coupling.

Main Rotor page

See Cyclic Cross Coupling.

Tail Rotor​

Yaw stop gains, precomp, inertia precomp and tail torque assist.

Tail Rotor page

See Motorised Tail and TTA.

Rescue​

Rescue mode: whether it flips to upright, and the pull-up, climb, hover and flip stages. The page scrolls.

Rescue page

See Rescue Mode Settings.

Rate Options​

A menu of three pages: Advanced (response time, acceleration limit, setpoint boost and dynamic ceiling gain per axis), Cyclic Behav. (cyclic ring and polarity) and Rate Table (the rate type the Rates page uses).

Rate Options menu

Rate Options, Advanced page
