Abstract
The invention relates to a method for adjusting parameters in a stabilizing device (4) for stabilizing a flying attitude of a remote-controlled fixed-wing aircraft. To adjust a first parameter for a first axis, a first adjustment signal is transmitted from the transmitter (1) to the stabilizing device (4). The first parameter (P1) is stored during the flight as a result of a first memory signal transmitted from the transmitter (1). A second parameter (P2) for a second axis is then adjusted and stored in a similar manner.
Claims11
A method for adjusting parameters in a stabilising device for stabilising a flying attitude of a remote-controlled fixed-wing aircraft, said method comprising following steps of:
- providing a remote control comprising a transmitter and a receiver accommodated in the fixed-wing aircraft for receiving control signals transmitted from the transmitter, wherein the receiver is connected to actuating devices for controlling the fixed-wing aircraft and can be connected selectively to a stabilising device, the actuating devices and the stabilising device being accommodated in the fixed-wing aircraft;
- wherein the stabilising device can be operated selectively in a stabilising operating mode and in a parameter adjustment operating mode, and wherein the stabilizing device comprises a control device and a multi-axis gyro sensor connected thereto, wherein the control device generates, in the stabilising operating mode, by use of an algorithm, stabilising control signals for adjusting the actuating devices for controlling the fixed-wing aircraft so as to automatically generate counter control movements in an event of a deviation from the predefined flying attitude,
- wherein, to adjust parameters for at least two axes, following steps are carried out:
- switching on the parameter adjustment operating mode at the stabilising device,
- connecting the stabilising device to the receiver during a flight by means of a switch-on signal transmitted from the transmitter,
- adjusting a first parameter for a first axis by means of a first adjustment signal transmitted from the transmitter to the stabilising device,
- storing the first parameter during the flight as a result of a first memory signal transmitted from the transmitter,
- adjusting a second parameter for a second axis by means of a second adjustment signal transmitted from the transmitter to the stabilising device, and
- storing the second parameter during the flight as a result of a second memory signal transmitted from the transmitter.
