The autotrim function is used to eliminate this swashplate movement when switching on either position or horizontal modes.Since I dislike the autotrim function, What I do is hover the heli with hor and pos mode off, trim it out for steady hovering and then land. After landing i disconnect the main battery supply to the ESC but keep the receiver batt on, press the button on the Helicommand until it turns solid green then switch off the receiver batt to cycle Helicommand. The action makes Helicommand regconize the neutral trim settings that you just did. I do this step every time I fly the heli due to different conditions will require a different trim setting. Once this is done you should see no swash plate movement when you switch between off to hor and pos mode. With the position mode, the lower you go the more accurate it is, it won't work higher than 9 feet. Contrast has to be good, if contrast is bad then helicommand automatically switches over to horizontal mode until contrast is regained. I think you need to go over the online instructions again, it's all in there. It doesn't pay to be lazy when you have all that money and time invested !!!! |
