Balance-wing version of the helicopter tune machine program

2DSC_0478.jpg

When a group of good body, to Shanghao Denso and finish basic receiver on the frequency of the test, followed by a very important step is to tune machine. The basic tone machine in the relationship between confirm the remote control with the body of collective pitch (Collective Pitch) the circulation pitch (CyclicPitch,) and the gyro. Guan Department of helicopter flight characteristics. The following photos I 600EPro flybar version and the JR XG8 remote control (hand)-based, you can refer to the corresponding equipment of their own hands.

What is the collective pitch?

On the remote control helicopter, the collective pitch relationship with a high degree of maintenance of, as if you took a fan in the fan when the fan level, the path of least resistance, but there was no wind, when the fans start with the level of an angle, then start feel the wind, but when the hands will feel that to force a little job. Similarly, the collective pitch is the two rotor up or down to change the same angle to provide helicopter lift or reverse thrust, so are pitch (positive pitch), the body is flying the view state, the rotor angle with the direction of rotation to form a positive angle of attack to provide a downward blowing natural helicopter to rise, but also pay attention to when the angle is larger to provide the speed, etc. in order to maintain the lift when your electrical equipment (battery, ESC, motor) whether to provide sufficient power? If not will be turned (rotor speed decreased) while the stall, it is also likely to cause lock tail failure and rotation. collective pitch angle change in throttle curve with the appropriate remote control, are to consider the reason for this is so in tune machine, is to confirm the throttle 0-100, corresponding to the collective pitch several times to a few degrees. collective pitch is generally symmetrical, the throttle is at 0 degrees at 50%, when 100 is +10 or +12 degrees, 0%, -10 or -12 degrees and other tune, and then use the pitch curve to set a different curve to suit different operational needs.

What is the cyclic pitch?

The circular pitch is when you move the lift, the aileron, the rotor angle change. Used to control the helicopter forward and backward (lift), sliding left and right (aileron). Conditioners in determining when the remote control of lift and vice maximum cyclic pitch angle of the wing rocker push in the end, which can determine the helicopter will be more rapid response to change of the body surface in the axis, but this part of the three-axis gyroscope, each is different, of course, we slightly larger than the pitch of the loop can be adjusted, then the DR / EXPO restrictions on travel and output curves to adjust the feel of course part of the three-axis varies due to various implementation DR / EXPO explained.

Mainly because I fly waterway, so in the article description of the collective pitch is + -10 degrees, cyclic pitch + -8 degrees. To fly 3D, people will have the TV situation to adjust, but the adjustment method is the same the. No flybar models can be installed in the rotor head pitch measurement rod flybar use the following instructions to, or digital pitch gauge can also. Because of the different feel of each flight, control and mechanical resolution, coupled with the use of gyroscopes. Natural tone France different here is mainly to share adjust collective and cyclic pitch, you will have depending on your hand loom to adjust the characteristics such as flybar cycle added to + -12 degrees, then the DR restricted to 8 degrees 8 degrees in order to obtain better control resolution; 3GX 2.1 version of the cyclic pitch to be given, the beast should be given the cyclic pitch degrees, while JRTAGS01 to while SWASHMIX to set the direction of correction and roll rate, but, in the adjustment are required to understand these basic concepts.

Pre-prepare action,

Align ESC remember the throttle up and down stroke must be set, or throttle curve can not be the correct response. Settings, throttle curve, please pull into a straight line, that is, 0-25-50-75-100 to avoid output errors, affecting judgment.

. Throttle up and down, set
A to start the remote control, to determine the throttle curve is a straight line
(b) the throttle to maximum.
C, connected to the helicopter power.
D, and then heard the Sec Legato, said throttle high point is set.
E, pulled the throttle lowest point
himself, and then to hear Sec Legato said throttle low is set.
G, then ESC to repeat five syllables, respectively, set a few sentences of the action, repeated five times syllable sound, move the throttle stick to the position you want to set.
Align ESC set as follows,
A low high school on behalf of the throttle stick position. The proposed manual tune.
B, beep (braking): low, no brakes.
C, horn sound (into the corner): in, into the corner.
Ding, beeps three times (Voltage Protection): low, high voltage.
E ring tones (airplane mode): the helicopter + slow start.
Has ring for five sound (throttle response): high and rapid response.
G, ring for six sound (BEC voltage): 5.5V. (35A adjustable BEC)

Sound of the BB boot remind flying friends become set beep means a low representation of the second tone, ring three times, said
if the top of the set should be heard, sound, sound, two sound, three times this can make flying friends to know that the power to change the situation . Custer ESC, please refer to himself in the RCM's apology remote part of a first remote control to establish a new model profile (Profile) helicopter mode and select the two. your model to help set the file to take a famous name ^ ^ three swashplate mode CCPM 120 four. afraid of the process of transfer machines enable the motor to the ESC is not connected to the motor, or like me to remote control of the flight mode switch to the Hold mode. The following figure shows the 600E Pro is to use the the Custer Phoenix ESC, so motor false parked in, you can use to control the Hold mode Throttle Curve (Throttle Curve) a straight line at 13%, because in 600EPro throttle added to 17% The left and right motor will move, so further reduction of 3-4% of the motor will stop, so that the flameout landing situation again go around the ESC without the slow start procedure can immediately resume speed. Or the beginning of the first -10% straight line, so that can prevent the motor does not rotate. Five. Pitch curve (PitchCurve) is a straight line, as shown below. Is 0-50-100 or 0-25-50-75-100 of. Six. Outside trim zero seven. Sub trim zero eight. Travel Adjustment all 100% nine. ELEV, AILE, Rudder DR / EXPO are all 100% / 0 Ten SWASH Plate part 1.ELEV AILE Pitch first set of 30 to prevent the start tune trip travel is too large interference to the server. 2.SWASH Plate if EXPO or the E-Ring function Please turn off all. 11 adjustment / confirm the the CCPM action   remote control: the power supply should be turned on.   2 helicopters: power transmission, the BEC separator only on the BEC power supply can be.   (3) Remote control: throttle 0% AILE / the ELEV remote lever in the neutral point (Mid stick)   4. helicopter: the helm piece be installed on the three CCPM server, the first approximate level and eat shallow like, not the whole pressure into it. (5) Remote control: throttle gently push up short, then observe the three CCPM rudder piece at the same time up? If down in the corresponding channel of the remote control is set to reverse (Reverse). Depending on the structure of the helicopter in view direction, such as from JR NEXE6 it down is the pitch is to cross the plate.

6 helicopters: three the CCPM rudder piece removed.

Pre-preparatory actions have been completed here can tune machine program.

With Siping (rudder piece swashplate and mixing arms, Pitch zero)

A length of rod / ball head in accordance with the instructions ready to experience sharing: turn the ball head can be two hex screwdriver through the ball head turn more effort, it will not go to the fingers red in pain. 2 ball head in the transfer into the connecting rod is necessary to the length of the edge amount is enough? Turned his head is too short then passed out, because the ball head most of the two side friction different, will become two eating different depth. So when the first new ball head and turn into the connecting rod length amount, so you can ensure that the two side thread-eat depth. 3 three server rudder piece to the instruction of the metal ball head lock in the appropriate rudder piece holes.






Remote control: throttle, ELEV / AILE moved to the neutral point (Mid stick).

Three helicopter: CCPM server rudder piece on and maintain the level. Align the side panel has a level correction holes, rudder-chip alignment is level. Sometimes part of the piece of the rudder due to server tooth relationship can not just let the rudder piece in a horizontal position. Do not worry, select a server closest to the level of tooth bit to fix the rudder piece rudder piece.

Four remote control: rudder piece with peacetime, to adjust the remote control subtrim three CCPM rudder piece aimed at the side panel of the fuselage level correction holes.

DSC_1639.jpg

On CCPM linkage with the puck, in principle in accordance with the instructions of the connecting rod length modulation, the puck close to level. But not completely trim, I have the puck with the equalizer to his assistant, trim work, or you can put the pen core of the root automatic pencil at the top of the swashplate visual level. Trim to adjust the rod first error to adjust the remote control within a circle Sub trim to trim Swashplate.

Note: steps 2, 3, 4, 5 is a process of adjustment.

Here, we have CCPM server rudder piece swashplate trim, next step is to adjust the collective pitch (Collective, Pitch) is the Pitch Curve on the remote control.

Experience sharing

in the amount of pitch (Pitch) based on the flybar, flybar level is very important. Clip of the main rotor on the tail pipe, a slight contact with the outer edge of the flybar, Then turn the main rotor circle of light, until the other side of the balance of the wing access to the main rotor retaining clips, then if the flybar level, the two flybar come into contact with the rotor fixed folder location would be the same point, if the difference is fine-tuning to balance the wing angle until the contact at the same point. At this time the contact points written down in front of the amount of pitch to confirm whether the point of contact run away. 450 Fortunately, like me, in the tune of 600, almost would be much worse.

A collective pitch adjustment (Collective Pitch)
1 This step is mainly to adjust the throttle stick in the neutral point, the pitch should be zero.
  Pitch Gauge folder in about 25-33% of the main rotor position, then move the throttle stick to neutral, you can see the remote control Monitor output should be 50%. Then adjust the pitch regulation, it's on the edge of the visual parallel with the flybar rod, if parallel, when the Pitch readings should be zero.

Pitch regulation folder paddle location experiences to share,

  As the most symmetry paddle, so practice as long as the amount of pitch, pitch regulation remain the same distance to the two main rotor blades. But the amount of the outside because of the virtual bit to produce deformation or paddle pitch gauge the weight of errors. The middle of the recommended amount of medial error to a minimum.

If not zero then adjust the linkage (shown below) until the Pitch for the zero date. The two main rotor should be the job must be zero. Swashplate trim, so long as the rod can be more than the tune swashplate, swashplate following factors can be ruled out.

Adjust the pitch of plus or minus the maximum angle, flying fairway, + - 10 degrees is enough
- the throttle to 100%, then +10 degrees pitch gage, such as no to increase remote control SWASHPlate, Pitch value and vice versa to reduce until 10 degrees - the throttle to 0%, then -10 degrees pitch gage, in principle, should be -10 degrees, sometimes because the server process error, 10 or 9. and more.

DSC_1584.jpg

It done, you found out when the PITCH CURVE 0 refers to -10 degrees, 50% 0 degrees, 100% to +10 degrees.
before me to speak Midstick hover want to throttle 70%, 4.5 degrees, you PIT-CURVE know the remote control about 72% at 4.5 degree.

Two circular pitch adjustment (Cyclic Pitch),

which is on the remote control AILE / ELEV DR / EXPO will affect the manipulation of the helicopter flying fairway, cyclic pitch 8 degrees have been enough.
. Throttle AILE / ELEV pushed to the neutral point of time collective pitch (CollectivePitch,) should be zero . Go to the main rotor parallel to the fuselage, then the AILE right or left to fight in the end when pitch gage whether + or -8 degrees, if not increase in the AILE value of the remote control SWASH Plate. the contrary decreased until 8 degrees. main rotor go to the fuselage vertical, then the the ELEV forward or playing in the end 5 At this time the pitch gage whether there is + or -8 degrees, such as an increase of ELEV value in the remote control SWASH Plate and vice versa to reduce until until 8 degrees, so you found out the DR in the remote control: 100% + -8 degrees,

DSC_1587.jpg

At this time then the throttle stick to 0 with 100, and then observe the swashplate horizontal? If not can use the Travel Adjustment to fine-tune to the level, but if Mom will have to check the reason to see if the server sweep gear or clearance. so up and down until the big P will not be biased, but if you are 3GX, as long as the tone pitch 0 degrees swashplate level can, ATV fixed at 100.

Three-body center of gravity configuration

Mention flybar rod to check the center of gravity, when the main rotor to be straightened, batteries, Canopy, that is, the Flying Weight ready to fly to the amount of flybar rod with the fuselage parallel to the amount of weight around a pull from the ground up, left and right side of the tripod pad should then balance the wing lever to the vertical with the body, the amount of before and after the assigned amount, a pull-up should be four tripod mat at the same time from the ground, sometimes at the same time away from the bad observation, you can slowly down, until one of a tripod pad touchdown, then look at whether the other three tripod pad is touching the ground, or not yet, of course, it is necessary to be transferred so you? anyway almost up another air conditioning trim. my own idea is that fine-tune a good one machine, the sky on firmly parked in the sense of accomplishment so cool. and adjusted the focus of the balancing machine, the remote control are no longer move to trim, then regardless of hovering or waterway will be very stable,

Above all a good tune, so I fly waterway to
the D / R -> 100%
EXP -> 20% of
THR-CURVE
Stk: 0-25-50-75-100
Out: 0-60-65-82-100 (control joystick position can not be located, please play this line)

PIT-CURVE
stk: 0-25-50-75-100
out: 35-50-75-87-100 (can not set the joystick position control, a direct hit this line)
I discovered that the corresponding angle of -3 degrees. 0 degrees, 5 degrees, 7.5 degrees, 10 degrees
will be able to know the Pitch corresponds to the helicopter several times suggested the curve with five points can be ..

Takeoff / landing experience


to take off most afraid of vibration power to change the slow start to help take off the stable, then the beginning of the throttle stick to the second tranche (25%) the throttle output to 50% and a pitch of 0 degrees. to pay attention to stop a few seconds, so speed to catch up, but also to the main rotor and tail rotor throw off when vibration reduced body stabilized, note that because of the speed is not enough, the lock tail may not be enough force to fill click rudder. Standby body stability, the throttle stick to the third tranche of (midstick) ready to take off, so that you can stable take-off landing, the third tranche of 60% throttle steady landing, and the mining of -3 degrees The Pitch, not too fast can steadily decline.


To FUTABA control fly Friends of the reference to 10CG/CAG/CHG
--------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Futaba's control, with JR JR's control Pitch is 0-100,50 0 degrees (midstick),
Futaba's Pitch -100, 0, +100, 0 exactly corresponds to the pitch, 0 degrees (mid stick) The Pitch CURVE pull straight line should be following.

stk: 0,25,37.5,50,62.5,75,100
out: -100, -50, -25,0,25,50,100


So to my files to adjust the machine
CCPM 120 corresponding to the Futaba Swashplate HR3 the
FUTABA adjust the pitch set ELEV, AILE, PITCH option called SWASHAFR

When you adjust the throttle / pitch curve tune into the following set.
THR-CURVE:
stk: 0,25,37.5,50,62.5,75,100
out: 0,60,63,65,73.5,82,100

PIT-CURVE
stk: 0,25,37.5,50,62.5,75,100
out: -30,0,25,50,62.5,75,100 so should you, because I wrote a tune file, the collective pitch is + -10 degrees, which corresponds to the FUTABA control is -100 with +100 That is when the main rotor Pitch angle from 0 degrees - 10 degrees, corresponding to the The FUTABA control PIT CURVE 0 -> +100 is a degrees Pitch in control is the Pitch Curve of 10 units.



Hover, most of the 65% throttle, the Pitch angle of 5 degrees,
so you see the PIT CURVE, the
stk (Joystick location) 50, out 50 (50/10 = 5), so Pitch angle
stk (joystick) in 0:00 (lowest point) out is -30 (-30/10 = -3), Pitch angle is -3.

So my setup is -3 degrees enabled the throttle, throttle pulled in 25% position 60, but the pitch to 0 degrees, then wait a few seconds the rotor to throw off the stability, the body does not shake,
and then the throttle to mid stick (throttle 65 , pitch 5 degrees) to take off and landing over midstick due to 25% throttle 60, and -3 degrees pitch allows you to slow down.
