| HS, It is all a matter of reference. You can place a spirit level on top on the rotor head as your horizontal reference or you can put the heli next to the window and use the window frame as a reference. There are no special pitch gauge for this, my pitch gauge is just a normal one. You'll find 9 degrees max is all you need. Only on autos will you need 12 + degrees. Good Luck with your flight. Post pics and/or videos if you can.
Wirlybird,
The V-stabi and the helitronics mixer do similar things, it allows you to fly the flybarless heads like a flybarred one. They both do not automatically stabilize/hover the heli if you let go of the controls. Helicommand on the other hand has the same feature as V-stabi and helitronics but has the added function of leveling your heli if you let go of the sticks, not quite autopilot, more like auto hover, however it will not control the pitch/throttle for you. In other words, it will not stay at the same height. |
