Vortex nano set up help,

[Raptormad2]

Hi i need some advice about setting up the the tail gyro section,i have followed the set up video to set up the flight modes and all is correct
i have N,1,2,H. On the data pod when i flick the flight mode switch to all positions, but when in N mode the tail seems to be in rate mode,
but when fm 1 and 2 the tail is in hh mode is this correct or have i something set wrong,
Thanks.

You can set the Vortex to either heading hold or rate mode in each flight mode, it's possible you have some modes set to the wrong type.

In either the DataPod or the Spartan Studio software, go to the advanced Tail settings and look at "Gyro Type". AVCS is what you want this set to in each flight mode for heading hold.

Also, if you're new to Spartan, you might find my setup guide helpful as you start to tune it:

With your datapod connected use the select button to go to the Tail menu,
Skroll down using the plus button to gyro gain,
Hold the plus button for a few seconds and the advanced menu will open,
Skroll down until you reach Gyro type,here you can set Rate or Heading hold mode for Normal,Idle 1,Idle 2 and hold.

Great thanks sorted it N was set on rate, just another quick question when setting the values in my tx for N,1,2, hold what percentage do they need to be at .
Thanks.

There's no set value, it will vary with each helicopter, and depends on your main blades, tail blades, headspeed, and a whole host of other parameters.

The defaults are usually a good starting point, but you may need to tune it from there. If you have a read of the setup guide I linked earlier I've included a walk through of how I typically set those.

Hi got my nano all set up and flying all is good apart from in the hover i get the tail drifting backwards ,have done
some trim flights and ajusted the elevator push rod length both ways its good on aileron with no side drift, the best i can get on the trim flight is 0.22R and 0.09F tail +90us. Any ideas woul be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you checked the CoG for your heli? If it's slightly tail heavy that will cause it to do that.

If you're not sure how to check the cg, have a read of this: How to set CG - RC Heli Nation

Hi the cog is spot on , when i had a vbar on this heli it just sat there with no drift , strange.

If the CG's good and you have no trims on your transmitter it has to be the swash (potentially a different subtrim on the elevator servo). Just trim the swash forwards a little :-)
