Enhanced Failed Safe Methods

Description
Hovering, Go Home (Return to Home)

 

NOTE:   You must click on the check box "I have confirmed the TX center position" to enable "Go Home" feature.

 

 

 

NOTE:  A red "X" indicates one or more of the following:

1 - Throttle curve is not setup correctly

2 - Throttle HOLD is ON

3 - Calibration was not done correctly

 

 

 

 

 

 

FAILSAFE METHOD:  HOVERING

 

 

If HOVERING option is selected the helicopter will hold both position and altitude in a FAILSAFE situation.

 

Control is regained once radio signal is established.

 

If failsafe was manually initiated then control is regained when FAILSAFE switch is disabled and control mode toggled back to manual.

 

 

 

 

FAILSAFE METHOD:  RETURN-TO-HOME

 

 

HOME is defined as where GPS signal is first acquired upon powering up the system and 30 meters (98 feet) above.  More than six satellites are required to record HOME.

 

When signal is lost, or if FAILSAFE is manually initiated, there are two routes the helicopter can take to return HOME.

 

 

Scenario 1:

 

► If the helicopter is above 30 meters it will hover for 10 seconds, turn towards home and fly forward. 

► When the helicopter is 30 meters away from HOME it will slow down its approach. 

► When the helicopter is above HOME it will then descend to 30 meters (98ft) altitude and hold position.

 

Scenario 2:

 

► If the helicopter is below 30 meters it will hover for 10 seconds, simultaneously turn towards home and climb to 30 meters then fly forward. 

► When the helicopter is 30 meters away from HOME it will slow down its approach.  

► When the helicopter is above HOME it will then hover and hold position.

 

If failsafe was manually initiated then control is regained when FAILSAFE switch is disabled and control mode toggled back to manual.

 

NOTE:  The speed it flies at while "returning to home" is determined by the Max Speed Limit values in Auto Pilot section.  Therefore if it is set to the fastest speed then the flight back "home" will also be fast. 

 

 

 

CAUTION: The helicopter will fly straight towards home. 

 

If this option is enabled make sure to plan your flight to ensure there are no obstacles between HOME and the helicopter.
