Ethos e Elicottero Flybar

[CescoP]

Questi i passaggi di ieri che mi hanno portato ad avere i corretti movimenti del piatto su un elicottero flybar con piatto 120°, l'ho abbozzato in inglese perchè sto condividendo anche su HeliFreak.
Lascio traccia anche qui, magari è di aiuto ad altri.

Mechanical specifications (look the heli from the tail to noose):
- LEFT servo CH1 - Aileron
- RIGHT servo CH6 - Collective
- REAR servo CH2 - Pitch
- CH3 -> Motor/Engine
- CH4 -> Rudder
- CH5 -> Gyro GAIN


1. Create a Heli Program based on HR-3 swash type.

2. Go to mixer tabs, then:
2.1 First Ailerons mix modify to hold just CH1, Channel count to 1
2.2 Create another Ailerons mix and assign just CH6
2.3 Elevator set it to CH2
2.4 Throtthe and Rudder are both ok.
2.5 Create a mix GYRO and assign CH 5.
2.6 Mix Pitch -> inhibit it for the moment.
(at each request to swap channel setting, answer NO)

3. Go to Output tab,put the throttle stick at center position, then:
3.1 Control left/right servo movement, move stick to left the left servo move down / right servo move UP, if not reverse the output to achieve the right movement.
3.2 Control the Elevator servo (the rear servo), move the stick UP the front of the swash plate move down; if not reverse the output.
(don't move the throttle stick, leave it at center.

4. Go back to Mixer tab, scroll down to Pitch Mix and edit it:
4.1 Activate it on Throttle.
4.2 Channel count 3
4.3 Set channels Ch1 - Ch2 - CH6
4.4 Move the Thr Stick Up and Down, two servos move in the same direction and on not, so change the WEIGHT of that servo with the opposite value. (Example two servo has weight +50 and one -50). Invert the Weight, don't go to reverse the output.
4.5 scroll up and change the name of the mix from PITCH to SWASH MIX.

5. Exit the Mixer Tab and go to Curve Tabs:
5.1 Create a curve for Throttle Normal.
5.2 Create a curve for Throttle Idle-Up. (i fly acro so I don't need an idle up 2)
5.3 Create a Pitch Curve with desired value.
5.4 Create a curve called Gyro Gain and assign 2 point curve, both points to the same value (70% to star with common Align gyros)

6. Go back to Mixer Tab and then:
6.1 Go to Throttle mix and assign curves normal and Idle Up with a desired switch position. (or create fly modes)
6.2 Go to Gyro Mix and assign the Gyro Gain curve.
6.3 Go to Swash Mix and assign the Pitch Curve.

At this point I'm ready to final check of degrees made by blades for differente movement and than let's try a hovering.
