I would like auto rescue to override my tail input and stop pirouetting and then recover. I think it will be cleaner and easier on the airframe.

I use auto rescue when Im doing advanced piro type stuff and need to keep my mind engaged always and never give up, so when the heli hits the virtual hard deck, I will still be trying to fly it to save it so I want it to take full control from me.

It seems that during rescue tail control is always fully functional from the stick, maybe there is a setting to override the tail control and stop piro'ing? Thx!

Hi

just thinking of the same... as i am using Auto Rescue about the same way (just for practicing new piro things). Auto Rescue will do it's thing - but i am still with the sticks far off center which is resulting in strange rescue result in the first moments until i center the sticks....

would it be enough to just set sticks priority to 0? any risk with that being done?
cheers

Setting stick priority to 0 takes control away from the cyclic inputs during rescue, but the tail still remains completely active. Im getting used to letting go of the rudder when it rescues, but a way to get it to auto neutralize the tail rotation before rescue would ve very sweet

Not sure what radios you're using, but with OpenTX it would be trivial to force rudder to 0 when rescue switch is on. Same with Jeti, and probably Futaba too.

I use the Jeti .the main thing with virtual hard deck is no switch is activated when rescue kicks in.

Ahh it's auto-rescue. Then this will not work, sorry for confusion...

so maybe this is to be done via "feature request"? maybe it could be possible for Spirit unit to use stick priority 0 for tail too?
cheers
