Spirit System

Hi Chaps, I am setting up a Spirit (Aero) for the first time (I have set up a heli before on a Spirit and BV) I was wondering if anyone has setup one using a Futaba radio? I have an 18mz which is very programmable and I am using the S-Bus input to the Spirit, I am trying to work out how to have or 3 banks one Off on Acro Stabilisation and one for rescue. The rescue needs to be on a momentary switch. The normal bank switching can be on a two or three position switch. I have thought about trying to do this with mixing but it looks pretty sloppy. So now I am thinking I need to setup different flight conditions and have the Rescue function override the off and stabilisation conditions. Just looking to see if anyone has done this, and how it was set up.

I also wanted to confirm that when in stabilization mode that changing the gyro gain from + to - values, turns the heading hold on and off but leaves the stabilisation on (similar to rate mode on a heli)

Thanks for any help

Hello Ricard,

you can use Flight modes in your futaba radio.
One flight mode will be dedicated for the Rescue mode - this flight mode will be activated by the momentary switch. There you can also define flat throttle curve when it is active. There you can also program value for Bank Switching so that it will always switch to a desired Bank (with Rescue programmed).

Other flight mode can by for flying, another one for stabilisation.

In this way you can use all 3 banks and have it as you wish.

Regarding your last question - please check this page:

Basically Head-Lock is active always when Stabilisation is active or Inactive.
Only when Function is set to Disabled, you can get Normal (Rate) mode which is different from Head-Lock.
