Hi there,
I am new to this forum, so please bear with me if my question sounds like something that has been raised here / answered often. I have found a few hints here already, but no solution, but I am sure someone has solved that issue already.
I am running a Spirit Pro in a Goblin 500 Sport helicopter together with a Jeti DS-14 transmitter / Jeti REX 6 receiver. My transmitter-setup is pretty basic, meaning I have 3 flight modes set on the 3-position switch SA ((1)low rpm / limited pitch range for hovering; (2) medium rpm / symmetric, limited pitch range for speed flying; (3) high rpm / symmetric, full pitch range for 3D). Then there is a spring-loaded switch (SG in my case), which engages the Spirit' rescue mode (normal).
Since I am a beginner I usually only fly / hover around in flight mode (1) and I engage Rescue mode via switch SG if things get out of control
For that kind of setup I do not need bank-switching of the Spirit, since I have set the stabilization mode in the Spirit to "Rescue (normal)" and I trigger the bail-out function through reversing the gain channel by flipping switch SG (e.g. from 55% -> -55%). All that works perfectly fine.
I recently set my Spirit to "Stabilization (normal)" mode and gain permanently to a negative value in order to have stabilization engaged and found that extremely helpful for learning flying circles and similar maneuvers. In order to get the brilliant Rescue function back together with stabilized flying I engaged bank-switching on the Spirit through my transmitter by allocating another channel in my DS-14 to the Spirit banks (bank 0 = stabilization (normal); bank 2 = rescue (normal) -> SG switches from bank 0 to bank 2). That also works perfectly...I can fly in stabilized mode and if the shit hits the fan I can bail out by flipping SG.
However, what I now would like to set up is an additional 3-position switch SX where I can chose between different stabilization modes:
(1) Disabled - Normal (Rate) gyro mode -> positive gain value / bank 0
(2) Stabilization (Normal) -> negative gain value / bank 1
(3) Stabilization (Acro)...or any other stabilization mode -> negative gain value / bank 2
(4) In addition, no matter, which stabilization mode I would chose, spring-loaded switch SG should always engage Rescue (normal) mode.
I know what conditions need to be fulfilled to engage every single mode mentioned above:
(1) Bank 0: Rescue (Normal) / gain value: positive -> Normal (Rate) gyro mode engaged
(2) Bank 1: Stabilization (Normal) / gain value: negative
(3) Bank 2: Stabilization (Acro) / gain value: negative
(4) Bank 0: Rescue (Normal) / gain value: negative -> Rescue (Normal) mode engaged
Has anyone an idea on how to program that in the DS-14 (I do have logical switches available)?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter
