Sk540

The new Black edition looks nice as well...Products « Skookum Robotics

Another interesting thing of note, As a byproduct of using different sensors to handle vibrations better, There are actually 6 sensors in the SK540, 2 for each axis.

According to Art vanden berg the designer, only one sensor is used, but if one should fail, the other "spare" on that axis will continue to function fine and you wouldn't notice !

I wonder does it inform you of a sensor failure or do you end up flying on one sensor to the point where that fails?

Re: Sk540

I'm sure it would show in the logs, don't know if it warns you any other way

Re: Sk540

Please dont geet me wrong the gov works great that was just my opinion on it the 540 rocks and is no dout one of the best fbl units out there and the price tag on it is the cherry on top ....
And as Baldie has said the banks cylic and tail are very handy to have

Banks cyclic & tail was that about.?

You can set it up to have two different cyclic setups and two tail setups. All switchable from your tx.

[Snaaakeey]

Also the sponsored pilots for Skookum/Gaui have started listing there set ups

Pilots « Skookum Robotics (click on the x5/x7 links)

and they have also posted a step by step set up guide over on the Hf forum.

Skookum team pilots setups......HOT!! - Page 2 - HeliFreak (post 15! soon to be made a sticky)

They are going to do an advanced 3d guide soon.

If you look at the Pic, You can have different settings for each bank. this means you can have a different setup for your different flying styles, Or when tuning to get the best settings , you can put different settings into bank 2 and switch between them in flight and compare back to back.
So you could have your test settings on bank 2, fly, try them, then if you like them copy them to bank 1 and adjust bank 2 again and fly compare... and so on. Same with the tail. It allows you to tailor the unit to your style very quickly. Then if you like you can play with one setting just to see the effect in flight to experiment.

Also, you can adjust the gains individually for each bank, On the Dx8 i can switch between to gain values on each bank.

[mc_clean_david]

The banks are handy for adjusting gains but also the speed of rotation on tail and cyclic! So you can have 1 bank for low rates for basic 3d flying and the other for faster piro rate etc

Blimey.!!! that sounds brilliant

Re: Sk540

I have a fut 10c i have setup one switch for cyclic banks and one switch for tail banks. When the cyclic switch is up (bank1) i have a rotary switch setup to also change gains in flight. When the switch is diwn (bank2) the other rotary switch alters the gains for that bank. The third rotary switch alters the tail gain in flight.

Oh... And no one has mentioned the Blur piro mode........ full stick rudder jumps to 900 Deg of boom fixing / batt ejection test lol

Yes makes for an impressive if somewhat knee trembling, 9000 degree stall turn

Yea i remember Chris Jones flying heathy's 7HV with the Blur piro on, and he had to turn it off because was that quick.
