Rate mode and heading hold mode with DX8 and Gpro
I have a Gpro installed in my Dominator 700L with DX8 transmitter.
I want to test the model in "Rate mode" to check the tail is mechanically setup right, or make mechanical adjustments as required. I know a solid red light on Gpro indicates rate or normal mode active and a solid green light means in Heading Hold Mode, but how do I assign a channel and switch on the DX8 to actively place the Gpro between Rate mode and Heading Hold Mode? In other words, I want a switch on the DX8 that I can use to switch in and out of heading hold mode. |

For tuning purposes, I change throttle curves to match and use the idle up switch to test. I can set different gyro values per mode and flip idle up to switch between them. I'm not using a gov, so quick and easy...(stock 500L).

I also have different tail gain values on the idle up switch, but there must be a way to put take the Gpro out of Heading hold mode and put it in rate mode via the DX8??
That must be the best way of seeing what the mechanics on the tail are set at, then once back in heading hold mode, the gyro is having to do the least work to keep a constant heading.... |
