11. Operation
Upon successful initialization of the VBar and pre-ight check
you may proceed to the maiden ight with your VBar. At the eld
you may further adjust the following values in your transmitter:
• Yaw rate (via dual rate tail channel)
• Cyclic rates aileron and elevator
(via dual rate, cyclic channels, < 110 %)
• Expo function for aileron, elevator and tail.
You can adjust the control behavior at
stick center.
• Collective pitch travel via pitch curve
Trim ight:
During a trim ight, VBar performs all necessary trims of the
helicopter automatically (elevator, aileron, tail). A trim ight is
not necessary if the servo linkages are installed mechanically
correct, the swash plate is leveled, and the center of gravity
is set properly.
To perform a trim ight, turn on the helicopter while the stick
for collective is at full positive. The VBar conrms this with a
short double-twitch (jump) of the swash plate. It is best to
perform the trim ight in very calm weather conditions. For
further information on how to perform a trim ight, click on
Trim ight info in the ight menu.
