The HeliCommand 3D is perfect for general flight stabilization (beginners, scale pilots, spot flying) of helicopters with standard rotor heads incorperating flybars.
The HeliCommand stabilizes the geographical position of the model helicopter it also stabilizes its flight attitude. The HeliCommand incorporates several control and measurement systems (triple axis gyros and an optical CCD sensor) to provide a superb of stability. It is ideal for the beginner. It adds a level of control and confidence that prior to this time has been unavailable to any model helicopter pilot. The HeliCommand provides a level of safety and accident reduction that previously has been unknown in the realm of helicopter modeling. Dual redundancy (in both the hardware and software programming) throughout was designed into the HeliCommand. In addition to all of the above the HeliCommand incorporates a full Failsafe unit incase of radio failure.
Possesses the same characteristics as the HeliCommand 3A, but also features:
- attitude stabilisation in inverted flight
- switchable support for brief 3-D manoeuvres.
Integral functions:
- Tail rotor gyro - The HeliCommand unit features an integral high-quality heading-hold gyro. Of course, a separate gyro can also be used if you prefer.
- Auto-trim
- Swashplate mixer
The HeliCommand unit incorporates a comprehensive integral swashplate mixer (H2, HR3, H4). This makes it possible to control all current types of helicopter using simple radio control systems (without swashplate mixers). In this case the display module or the PC adaptor and software is required in order to carry out adjustments. The mixer settings are entered using a new form of procedure which is very simple to operate; this saves the user the task of studying the menu system etc.
- Pilot channel
The effect of the stabilising / positioning mode can be adjusted proportionally using a spare radio control channel; it can also be switched off completely for 3-D flying.
- The in-flight switchable gain system offers three different positions: Stage 0 = Off (conventional)
Stage 1 = Attitude regulation (stabilisation)
Stage 2 = Position-holding and "ground-speed" regulation
- Fail-safe
High-quality fail-safe function with FM receivers. If the radio link fails, the fail-safe responds extremely quickly and almost continuously, setting the roll-axis and pitch-axis functions to neutral, whilst maintaining the collective pitch function at the last value.
- HeliCommand 3D- an AUTOPILOT features:
- Measures: 55 x 35 x 12.5 mm
- Operating voltage: 4.8 - 6 V
NOTE: the following servo's are not compatable with the built in Helicommand tail gyro: Futaba S9256, Futaba S9251, Futaba BLS-251, Logitech LGT-6100G and LGT-3100G.
