Programming example: model helicopter

automatically when you move the throttle limit slider

towards full-throttle, and stops again when you move the

limiter back to the idle range.

Suggested reﬁ nement: speed governor

At some time you may wish to install a speed governor

(regulator) in your helicopter, e. g. the mc-Heli-Control,

to try ﬂ ying with a system rotational speed which is

automatically maintained at a constant value. It makes

sense to couple the individual rotor speeds with the

ﬂ ight phases, as this enables you to carry out further

ﬁ ne-tuning.

The initial requirement when programming the transmit-

ter is to install and program the speed governor exactly

in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. A

practical suggestion, which includes the throttle limiter

function, can be found in the section starting on page

96.

If you have set up your helicopter as described in this

programming example, you will ﬁ nd that it is capable

of carrying out extremely challenging ﬂ ight tasks even

though it is not suitable for competition work.

We suggest that you should not make use of additional

functions until your model is ﬂ ying perfectly, so that you

will be in a position to recognise and appreciate any

improvements. Whenever possible, it is always best to

implement additional reﬁ nements one at a time, other-

wise you won’t know which change has brought about

any improvement. Bear in mind that the good pilot is

not recognised by the number of complex functions with

which he can cope, but by the results he can obtain

when ﬂ ying a relatively simple set-up.
