No the altimeter gives instant altitude changes to the CoPilotII. Jack

The problem we encounter attempting to do this is the GPS delay. It is about two seconds and the aircraft can move a long way in that time. Jack

When the helicopter is placed in the upright position and control is returned to the pilot, if the throttle/collective pitch lever is still in the negative position the helicopter will be forced down into the hard deck again and that would initiate an emergency recovery again. Jack

What if I'm doing smack 20 ft up? 30 ft? 40? I don't see many people doing smack at twice the height of an average house. I can turn your earlier statement around and say I find it disappointing that some people will so strongly defend a product they have never seen operate at the field. No offense intended. Just saying there is nothing wrong with people coming in here and offering their opinions whether they are negative or positive. If you have a problem with that then you shouldn't have posted it on a forum for people to openly discuss. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I’m certainly not an advanced pilot and seldom get above 50’ (maybe for about a 1/3rd of each battery). Part of that is probably because I only fly a 450 size machine - maybe someone with a larger machine that flies at higher altitudes would find it useful. However if the technology is aimed at newer pilots (majority likely starting with a 450 size) then I think there may be an issue.
Once again I’m not trying to downplay the technology – just pointing out one of the reasons I personally wouldn’t chose the option. |

I've been waiting for this module. I even equipped my 600 with the CPII specifically for this, and then just waited. Works incredibly as it is at ER, but I have to flick the switch. If HD can do this for me at a prescribed height, just as fast as it does now, with control of collective too, then how good is that. I mean, how good is that! I don't care if it isn't GPS, and doesn't have RTH, I can fly well enough to bring a heli back anyway, especially if and when it has just recovered from a mistake and is just sitting there in a nice stabalised hover, waiting for me to just turn it around.
Cannot wait to get my hands on one. If Jerry is getting numbers 1 through 6, I want to be number 7, lol, and if it is as described, I will soon be wanting a whole bunch more. Really, cannot wait. Cheers Sutty

Not on the iPhone ... Goes to the screen, but the dialogue box is empty. Is there a release date?

I would use the technology if the deck was 20 feet, but 50 feet may or may not be useful to me. I'll reserve judgement for now.

Or aircraft become easier and safer to fly resulting in increased sales making the price of parts and kits cheaper. Just a thought, Jack

I believe that Flash does not work on iPhone. The date is Summer 2012, nothing more specific than that.

Personally if I were the developers I would want to hear constructive criticism prior to mass producing something. I think the 50’ boundary, among other concerns, are legitimate. What the developers decide to do with those concerns is up to them – just as consumers we can decide to either buy or not buy the end product.

I also agree, we would like to get this number lower and as beta testing continues we may be able to do just that. However, it may not be a lot lower. Time will tell. Right again, highly advanced 3D pilots that constantly fly low will not be able to make use of the Hard Deck mode except possibly to learn more new and advanced moves with some degree of safety to their aircraft. Some pilots may choose to have a second aircraft setup solely for this purpose alone. I do in fact use this approach. I find it much like flying a simulator that allows us to attempt new things without it costing us dollars and repair time. I personally can't force myself to practice fly on a simulator. I always intend to but never do. The hard deck mode allows me to do the type of thing I would do on a simulator but in real life flying and enjoying a lot, lot more. Jack
