MicroSettings/de

Während das Microbeast mit der Microsettings Software verbunden ist, kann am Gerät selbst keine Einstellung vorgenommen werden. Der Drucktaster ist gesperrt. Es kann ganz normal über die Fernsteuerung gesteuert werden, z.B. um bestimmte Einstellungen zu prüfen.

1) Selecting standard settings instead of selecting the different options in the menu by using the rudder stick you can select the appropriate option by two mouse clicks: Click once on the dropdown menu in the upper right corner of each menu point and it opens. Then select by a second mouse click the required parameters. The value will be immediately activated in Microbeast, there is no further action like saving, etc. necessary. Simply disconnect the unit and go fly.

2) Setting up user defined values: All menu items offer the possibility to apply either the fixed values or to select your own values ​​(in a usefull range) and find your personal adjustment. The possible range of values ​​is visualized by the bars in the display. The individual value(s) ​​can be entered using the input panel(s) on the left (except for the swashplate mixers, here's the stuff in the middle). By clicking the arrow keys up or down, the values ​​can be adjusted in steps of 1. Alternatively, you can also click the panel and directly enter a numeric value (so far as it is within the possible range of values). This value is stored immediately in Microbeast but to also use it, it is necessary, to select "User defined" option instead of fixed the values in the MICROBEAST's menu - either by just using the drop-down menu on the right or (esspecially useful later on the field) directly by using the tail stick to select "LED off" in the menu at the appropriate menu point. For example you can test the new value on the airfield and also change back at any time to a fixed default value or even change between values several times. The custom value itself remains stored in the microprocessor and the computer is only necessary if you want to change it again.

   Wenn man mit dem Mauszeiger über das Einstellpanel fährt, so wird der mögliche Wertebereich angezeigt sowie der Standardwert. Der Standardwert entspricht in den meisten Fällen dem Standardwert der festen Vorgabewerte (diese sind im Dropdown - Menü mit einem '*' markiert), so dass man einen ungefähren Anhaltspunkt bekommt, um ein eigenes Setup zu erfliegen.

Ein paar kurze Hinweise zu den einzelnen Einstellpunkten:

• Bei Verwendung von RevoMIX soll der Heckrotor das Drehmoment des Hauptrotors kompensieren. Bei einem Hubschrauber mit rechts drehendem Hauptrotor muss daher der Heckrotor bei einer Pitcheingabe (sowohl zyklisch als auch kollektiv, positiv sowie negativ) immer entgegen dem Drehmomment steuern, also Nase des Helis nach rechts, steuern. Bei 0° Pitch hat der Heckrotor am wenigsten Steuerauschlag, sobald Roll,Nick, Pitch gesteuert wird bewegt sich die Schiebehülse immer in dieselbe Richtung!

• Experience has shown that a ratio of 1:2 between cyclic and collective pitch is a good guide. For example 15 cyclic and 30 collective Pitch. Then slowly increase to the optimum values. This presupposes that the tail rotor (sensitivity and heading lock proportion) are were adjusted to the optimum extent before. The RevoMIX is only an aid to improve the performance of the tail gyro for example when the tail rotor system is slightly undersized but not to conceal a poor control at all (if without RevoMix when giving pitch the tail turns away desperately you should check the mechanics and tail gyro adjustment).

• Asymmetry is a compensation function if the tail gyro behaves unequal between both directions (there are no negative values since the value depends also on the setting for the main rotor torque). Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary to change this value - default is 0.

• To the scale pilots: It is assumed that the helicopter was adjusted according to the instructions and collective pitch center stick position corresponded to 0° pitch during the setup procedure! A subsequent change of the pitch curve then represents no problem but if from the beginning instead of 0° the adjustment has been done with hovering pitch the RevoMIX can not be used because it assumes that 1500μs pulse on the collective corresponds to 0° of pitch. On the other hand it is no problem if you have set your pitch range asymmetrical in setup menu point K (e.g. -5° to +12°). The REVOMix tail throw will automaticaly be scaled to this asymmetric ratio.
