Post subject:  [SOLVED] Stabi: Initialization on flat surface, no tilting
Hello,

With respect to Stabi, the Spirit manual says: “If using these modes, be sure your helicopter is initialized on a flat surface, not tilted to any side. Do not tilt the helicopter for more than 5 seconds.”

What does “flat” mean and how far can “tilt” go in order not to interfere with Stabilization mode?

I ask because our flying field is in the hills and we start and land on grass. There is hardly a perfectly leveled surface. I also need to move the heli a bit after powering and initialization (closing the fuselage).

Thanks

Tomáš always says that anything below 30 degrees is fine.

A few secs of hovering will anyway reset the horizon (unofficially).

The thing about "not tilting after initialization" is more something like "don't lay the heli on its side for one minute while putting on canopy, then immediately take off and try Rescue". There was somebody in the past acting like that and then complaining Rescue was not climbing straight.

Personally, for my piece of mind I built a couple of leveling platforms which I use so that the only tilt is the natural heli stance, which is always a few degreees only. Rescue ALWAYS worked perfectly for me, 100%. And the last platform even looks cool :mrgreen:
