Separate channel

Usually we use a separate free channel on the transmitter to activate/deactivate AttitudeControl during operation. When this channel is moved in one direction, AttitudeControl is off; when you switch it in the other direction, AttitudeControl will be activated and your helicopter will be leveled when you release the aileron and elevator sticks. The amount of deflection determines how strongly the system reacts and how hard it tries to keep the helicopter level (and consequently how hard it is to control the heli against). So what you need on the transmitter side is a switch that controls the AttitudeControl channel (which channel number this is, you set up when doing the receiver and function assignments in RECEIVER MENU). When the switch is in the OFF position, the channel is moved in one direction, e.g. to -100% throw. When you flip the switch to activate AttitudeControl, the channel moves in the other direction, e.g. to +50%. In this case AttitudeControl will activate with a gain of 50%. The amount of gain/channel deflection should be fine-tuned to your liking later when flying - 50 is usually a good starting point. If you want a less aggressive reaction from the system, e.g. when you want to fly with 3D Mode active for a longer time, lower the gain to maybe 30. If you want a very quick, immediate leveling response, you may raise the value to 60. Just don't start too high, as this can cause a very hard and abrupt reaction from the system - possibly harder than your helicopter likes!

The LED display on Microbeast Plus/Ultra shows whether AttitudeControl is active and how high the gain is. When the switch channel is moved to the OFF direction, Menu-LED A will light up and flash - in this case AttitudeControl is deactivated (it doesn't matter how large the deflection of the channel is, as only the sign of the deflection determines whether AttitudeControl is on or off). When activating AttitudeControl with the channel throw at 100%, LED N will light up. Adjust the deflection of this channel (e.g. by reducing the servo throw in the transmitter) so that the Menu-LED next to point G lights up (usually at 50%, as described above).
