DVD Volume 2: Helicopter Bench Setup

In Stock

Second DVD from Rays HostetlerWith the “armchair settings” completed at the end of Volume 1, Volume 2 picks up with the actual helicopter setup. Because of all the groundwork covered in the Transmitter Theory and Setup, the Bench Setup is pretty simple and straightforward. Servo endpoints, cyclic settings, throttle setup, gyro setup, and collective setup are all completed at the end of this disk, and the entire setup sequence is supplemented with the philosophy of “why.” After viewing this disk, your helicopter will be ready for flight trimming.Scenes 1-9: Introduction • Pushrod Theory • General Radio Details • Right/Left Cyclic Setup • Fore/Aft Cyclic Setup • Setting Cyclic Endpoints • Collective Servo Throw Limits • Throttle Theory & Setup • Keeping Throttle Ahead of CollectiveScenes 10-18: Cyclic > Throttle Mix Checks • The 90% Throttle Rule • Gyro Rate vs. Heading Hold Checks • Electronic vs. Mechanical Gyro Gain • Tail Rotor Pushrod Setup • Tail Rotor Pitch Theory • Tail Rotor Servo Direction • Gyro Direction • Gyro Authority TheoryScenes 19-26: Collective Pitch Setup Basics • Checking Collective Pitch Range • Pitch: Normal Flight Mode • Pitch: Flight Modes 1 & 2 • Pitch: Throttle Hold • The Advantage of a Non-Driven T/R • Tail Rotor Pitch for Autos • Final Pitch Curve Checks
