Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / December 2005Reflex models and setup site?
I just bought Reflex XTR today. Are there any good websites out there with additional setup advice for optimal realism? I've got it all working but the Raptor 30 doesn;t behave at all like the one I used to own. Far too squirrely, like there's no control or helicopter inertia at all. Mine would maintain a hands off hover for 20 seconds or so, with this it'll be a hundred yards away and oscillating all over the field.. Also looking for a Raptor 60 and T-Rex XL models if any are out there. Google just returned dead links. Cheers, Si >I just bought Reflex XTR today.

To improve the stability you can do the following Hit F11 to get Model Physical Parameters (you can also do Model>Modify Physical Parameters) Select the Main Rotor Tab Reduce the value for 'Hovering Instability' Reduce the value for 'Rotor Head Vividness' Also, since XTR works from your transmitter then your actual transmitter settings for ATVs, Rates, Exponential will also have an effect. I.E. if you want a softer model, reduce the ATVs and add some exponential (say 30%) on the cyclic (Aileron and Elevator).

Thanks for the tips. I had messed around with the ATVs on my radio, but I'd like to retain the manoueverability whilst gaining stability. Your suggestion for Hovering Instability and Vividness sounds like it'll do the job perfectly. Another question, if I may: Do you know whether the piezo gyro modelled in the sim is always assumed to be a heading hold gyro? The reason I ask is that it looks like I need to add some revolution mixing to the radio setup on lower gain settings, but not on higher ones. I assume the sim's model itself doesn't perform any automatic mixing? Cheers, Si The gyros act as following (i) Mechanical > Rate Only - slow (ii) Piezo > Rate Only - faster (iii) Piezo-Integral > Like a modern Heading Hold. It can be switched between Rate and Heading Hold controlled by the Gyro sensitivity (F5 to set) - below 50% = RATE, above 50% = Heading Hold - i.e like a Futaba 401. Around 50% is no gyro at all, so approach 100% for high gain HH and 0% for high gain rate. You can also assign a transmitter channel to Gyro Sensitivity (use F7). For example, I mimic my real set up and assign channel 5 using a switch to Gyro Sensitivity. I set the ATVs of the switch to 80 and 20 so I can switch between 20% (high gain Rate) and 80% (high gain HH).
