An adjustable strength of feedback to a gyro or flight stabilizer. Determines aggressiveness of control action. Used in RC helicopters to stop the tail from exhibiting un-commanded changes in direction due to disc loading and/or wind. Also a term used … Continue reading
Heli Setup
Maintains constant rotor head speed under changing loads. Typically becomes effective above a specified throttle setting and used for aggressive flying. Used in advanced collective pitch RC helicopters.
A form of simple flight controller that works on principle of a gyroscope developing forces used to measure change in attitude. Typically employs feedback loops with adjustable gains to match the responsiveness of a heli and keep the tail direction predictable. There … Continue reading
