Radio - Servo - Gyro - Gov - Batt > Inverse Function on FF8U Super

Hi All,

I was reading through my FF8U Super manual the other day, and descovered a nice little function called Invert, or Inverse (Can't rememer which at the moment!)

It would appear that you can set the TX to inverse all the controls for nose in flight, this would make a big difference in learning nose in hovering, as it would mean that if you get into trouble, instead of risking a crash, you could flick a switch on the TX and inverse the controls so you haven't got to worry about reverse actions........

Has anyone used this function? as it seems to me to be ideal for a begginer such as myself.

All comments grately received!!

Be very careful - I think the 'invert' function refers to upside down !! If you check the wording in the manual you will note that it refers to reversing the pitch servo - there is the clue !! I experimented with the 'invert' function on planks with a ff8 and it does reverse servos for inverted flying. I do not use it as I prefer to be able to control the direction etc. of my heli's without flipping a switch.

It's invert

Actually it's a function called "switched inverted". It's a handicap and 90% of pilots recommend avoiding using this feature.

It teaches you some bad habits. Besides for 3D you are never inverted or rightside up long enough and the switch is a hinderence.
