If Aux3 is at -100%, Master Gain is very low and the individual gains become very
small.
If Aux3 is at +100%, the Master Gain is nearly 2x and the individual gains have almost
twice their usual effect.
To turn the stabilizer completely off with Master Gain, the low end of Aux 3 must be -150%
on a Spektrum™ or JR™ transmitter. In practice many people initially set Aux3 at 0%
(middle position) so that the Master Gain multiplier is 1x, then, as explained in Basic
Instructions, they adjust the individual gains to give good stabilization without any
oscillation. Master Gain can greatly help in this process and can subsequently be used to
turn the overall gain up or down to suit changing flight conditions.
If your transmitter has seven channels or fewer, Master Gain will default to a value of 0.8.
This is a practical compromise erring on the side of Safety so that the individual pots have a
good range of control but are less likely to induce oscillation if set too high.
Using an Open Source Transmitter (Taranis, 9XR, etc.)
The Hyperion stabilized receiver can be used with a transmitter other than Spektrum™,
provided it has a DSMX™ compatible module installed.
Transmitters such as the FrSky™ Taranis, and FlySky™
with Er9x all use open source firmware that can be easily programmed to emulate the
output of a Spektrum™ transmitter, including such functions as flaperon mixing. While the
programming steps are slightly different for the various transmitters, the following
suggested setup can be applied to any of them:
Channels 1-4 set up as a simple four channel model with channel order TAER
Channel 5 set up to give +/- 100% in response to a suitable two-position switch.
Channel 6 is available for dual aileron, flap or gear, as required.
Channel 7 is available for dual aileron, flap or gear, as required (v4 receiver).
Channel 8 set up to provide +/- 100% in response to a knob, slider or lever.
Set limits of 80% on all channels to match Spektrum™ 100% pulse width.
Reverse channel 2 (aileron) and channel 4 (rudder) to match Spektrum™. This will give you
a transmitter that works very much like a DX8™ and that provides a good basis for setting
up the stabilizer according to the Basic Instructions provided earlier.
Mixing and the Hyperion Stabilized Receiver
Step 6 in the Basic Instructions should give you the information you need to set up
elevon, V-tail or flaperon mixing with the Hyperion Stabilizer. The purpose of this section is
to explain further how all this works. The key point to understand is that the Hyperion
stabilizer only recognizes and corrects for movement in the three standard flight axes.
Consequently, the stabilizer expects the transmitter to provide the conventional “pure”
inputs: roll (aileron), pitch (elevator) and yaw (rudder). Any processing (mixing) needed to
turn these inputs into servo commands for a non-standard control arrangement such as
elevon or V-tail has to take place in the stabilizer itself, NOT in the transmitter. By contrast,
flaperon mixing takes place in the transmitter.
