Flying
If not done already, keep AttitudeControl deactivated for the first flight and adjust all flight parameters (tail gyro gain, cyclic gain, and so on) as described in this manual.
Once the heli is set up well, you can familiarize yourself with the effect of AttitudeControl. For this we suggest using "Bailout rescue mode". Fly the helicopter at a sufficient height in a stable hover and activate AttitudeControl using the appropriate switch. The helicopter should continue to hover in approximately the same position. Now give some aileron or elevator stick input and release the stick once the helicopter has reached an oblique position - AttitudeControl should bring the helicopter back to the horizontal position, more or less rapidly.
Deactivate AttitudeControl and again tilt the helicopter with some stick input. Now the helicopter will stay tilted once you release the stick. Only when AttitudeControl is activated again by flipping the switch will the helicopter be rotated back to the horizontal position as before.
If using an AttitudeControl mode with collective pitch control, moving the thrust stick has no effect in a certain range, as AttitudeControl takes over collective pitch control in this range while it is activated. Therefore make sure the thrust stick is in a position that will roughly produce the same amount of collective pitch, both before and while deactivating AttitudeControl. Otherwise, deactivating AttitudeControl could cause the helicopter to drop suddenly if the thrust stick commands a smaller pitch angle than AttitudeControl was applying.
