After having tried µ-iKON 2 for a while on my Oxy 2, I decided to give µSpirit a try. I liked it so much that I just ordered a Spirit Black for my Oxy 4 to replace my iKon 2 Mini on that heli. Much love for Spirit!
I do have a question though about some of the features—or lack of features—on the Spirit setup software. In iKON 2, there is something under Advanced Cyclic called "Tail Drag Compensation". It is supposed to help with tail up/down movement during pitch pumps. On my Oxy 2 with µ-iKON 2, I needed to adjust this parameter a little bit to get it spot on. However, on my µSpirit I did not have to do any of this adjusting. Nor do I even see such a parameter to adjust in the Spirit software.
I'm wondering if µSpirit has some auto sensing ability to deal with this issue, or if I just got lucky and the built-in, immutable parameters of µSpirit happen to be more in-synch with my Oxy 2 than my µ-iKON 2 was.
Thanks!
And I'm a big fan of the wiki-based Manual. One of the reasons I switched, actually. I wish more electronics manufacturers did this.
No "tail drag compensation" ... and none needed.
Hello,
Spirit units are calculating such compensations in-flight automatically.
But also there is Pitch-up compensation parameter. In the most cases it should be at 0.
