ASK: How to switch On/Off the CP2

I will be testing that heli on sunday, need area free from trees etc.

On menu Preflight and by the question "All./Elev. are CENTERED" is the right stick (mode 2) already centered => ENTER
=> On Screen:
Pitch= -22 UP
Roll=- 24 DN
What is the meaning of the value above? Is the value correct when the swash/heli is level?

You are good to go, message is normal

My only suggestion to you would be if you can...move the main sensor out of the "Kill Zone" of a blade strike

Guys, little on the side of this topic.

The CPII paid itself about two times today.
:-)
Best $ 200 Ive spent on this hobby.

Im using the AUX2 as ON/OFF/PANIC.

The CPII is great, I didnt expect so much.
I "made mistakes" on purpose and then used the 'Panic' to save the heli.

I have my main sensor also on the kill zone, dont know if I should move it. Forward will be too close to the vertical sensor and canopy, backwards will be too close to the tail rotor and might be affected by it (Im on a 450-size heli).
I can not put it under, my tail rotor push rod is too close.

Technically, works like a dream, but the Kill Zone thing bothers me a bit.

My CP2 default setting:

PREFERENCES
===========
Pitch Gain >70%
Roll Gain >50%
Stick Priority >100%

Max Servo travel limit >100%
Gyro Output CH4 >None
Disarm flight mode to >LEVEL

Enable Emergency Recovery >Y

Flight Mode Setup
=================
Off Remote = 0%
AutoTrim ? 6deg

F.mode 1 Rm= 100%
>Level Flight

For Beginner is the setting above usable?

Is this correct, when I set "Gyro Output CH4 = 64%" as before using cp2 the Gyro (HH) was set to 64%.


HK450TT + CP2, GP750+DS520, 3x TowerPro MG90, TowerPro Motor+ESC, Stock Blade.

Your Gyro Gain might be too high, try 38% to start.

I'm glad you like it! I felt the same way when I saw it working; I hadn't expected it would be so effective!

I already broke a main sensor in the kill zone... I was thinking under the landing gear somehow but I'm too lazy to do it at the moment.

What is about "None" by "Gyro Output CH4 >None" ?

[vanguy]

If you attached the yellow gyro gain wire into CP2, this means CP2 has taken over the duty of setting the gyro gain, you need to input a value here "gyro Output Ch4> 38% or around there. You gyro gain is now set using your hand held unit.
