Advanced Settings
The 130 S default settings are appropriate for most users.
We recommend fl ying with the default parameters before
making any adjustments.
WARNING: To ensure your safety, always
disconnect the motor wires from the ESC
before performing the following steps. After you have
completed the adjustments, reconnect the motor wires
to the ESC before attempting to fl y the model.
Gain Parameters
1. Cyclic P Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will result in greater stability. Setting the gain
too high may result in random twitches if your model
has an excessive level of vibration. High frequency
oscillations may also occur if the gain is set too high.
Lower gain will result in less stability. Too low of a value
may result in a less stable model, particularly outdoors
in winds.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer
climate, higher gains may be benefi cial—the opposite
is true for lower altitude or colder climates.
2. Cyclic I Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will result in the model remaining still, but
may cause low frequency oscillations if increased too far.
Lower gain will result in the model drifting slowly.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer
climate, higher gains may be benefi cial—the opposite
is true for lower altitude or colder climates.
3. Cyclic D Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will improve the response rate of your inputs.
If the gain is raised too much, high frequency oscillations
may occur.
Lower gain will slow down the response to inputs.
4. Cyclic Response (Default 100%)
Higher cyclic response will result in a more aggressive
cyclic response.
Lower cyclic response will result in a less aggressive
cyclic response.
5. Tailrotor P Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will result in greater stability. Setting
the gain too high may result in random twitches if
your model has an excessive level of vibration. High
frequency oscillations may also occur if the gain is set
too high.
Lower gain may result in a decrease in stability. Too low
of a value may result in a less stable model particularly
outdoors in winds.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer
climate, higher gains may be benefi cial—the opposite
is true for lower altitude or colder climates.
6. Tailrotor I Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain results in the tail remaining still. If the gain is
raised too far, low speed oscillations may occur.
Lower gain will result in the tail drifting in fl ight over time.
If you are located at a higher altitude or in a warmer
climate, higher gains may be benefi cial—the opposite is
true for lower altitude or colder climates.
7. Tailrotor D Gain Adjustment (Default 100%)
Higher gain will improve the response rate to your inputs.
If raised too far, high frequency oscillations may occur.
Lower gain will slow down the response to inputs, but will
not have an effect on stability.
8. Tailrotor Adaptive Filtering
Higher gain will reduce oscillations during high speed
fl ight and when using large amounts of collective.
Lower gain will improve tail performance but may lead
to tail oscillations.
After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress
into fl ying the model to different locations, keeping the tail
pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and
descend using the throttle stick. Once you’re comfortable
with these maneuvers, you can attempt fl ying with the tail
in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind
that the fl ight control inputs will rotate with the helicopter,
so always try to picture the control inputs relative to the
nose of the helicopter. For example, forward will always
drop the nose of the helicopter.
The average fl ight time of the helicopter using the recom-
mended battery is approximately 4 minutes.
Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)
LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery
voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and
the LED on the ESC fl ashes, land the aircraft immediately
and recharge the fl ight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge
during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC may damage the battery.
Landing
To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level
hover. After landing, disconnect and remove the battery
from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully
charge your battery before storing it. During storage, make
sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
