• 3 FEATURES Congratulations on owning a bavarianDEMON stabilization system. This system enables huge performance from your model. The head gyro eliminates all undesired ybarless head characteristics, resulting in optimal control and precision. By incorporating the latest generation of high-quality MEMS gyros, this system offer full 3D capability, whilst boasting a top-quality, ultra-

• Axon bavarianDEMON, QUICK INTRODUCTION MOUNTING POSITION Important is an orientation exactly aligned with the level of the main rotor or rotor shaft in all 3 axes, i.e. the assembly surface must be orthogonal (90°) or parallel to these. Contrary to normal tail gyros, this is particularly important to ensure that the head stabilization maintains constant attitude, even during pirouettes. All four main orientation directions are possible (see software), plus mounting it inverted or even vertical. So alltogether, 24 options for the installation orientation are possible. AVOI

• Axon bavarianDEMON, VIA CABLE LOOM (STANDARD RECEIVER, PWM SIGNALS) Connect each cable of the cable loom to the appropriate channel on the receiver, accor- ding to the diagram. Example: Yellow cable Rx port for tail servo Connect servos to ports 1-5. Throttle/ESC stays with the Rx. Leave unused channels unplugged. Note: Single-line cables must be plugged into „signal pulse“. VIA SERIAL INPUT (SEE SOFTWARE FOR OPTIONS) If the receiver features a serial output, it can be connected via this port, so only one patch c

• • Do not connect servos until the device has been set to the correct servo type via software. • Do not move the model/device for the rst few seconds after powering on (LED ashes red). The system runs a self-test and needs standstill to perform this, as otherwise it will not initialize, activate the servos, and start to ash 3x red power-cycle. • When using th

• After installation, the device must be tuned to both the helicopter and transmitter, which rst includes adaptation of the transmitter to the sys- tem, followed by setting up the system to the model. The software includes a setup wizard guiding you swiftly and easily through all the requi- red steps without missing any. Additionally there is helpful information available for each parame

• Axon bavarianDEMON, ! It is mandatory to have tested all sensor directions! ! At rst, y with considerably moderate gain settings for tail and head gyro (35-45% recommended). ! Control check prior to every lift-off. Never lift off before the servos respond correctly to stick inputs, as only in this case has the initialization been successfull. PAY ATTENTION DURING LIFT-OFF ! In general, pay attention to the horizontal position of the swashplate. Similar to a tail gyro, it may happen that slight, inadvertently iss

• Axon bavarianDEMON, + 100% Heading Hold 10% gain Normal - 100% SENSITIVITY (GAIN) SETTING As usual, set the gyro gain as high as possible, at which point the tail does not yet tend to oscillate, not even at high ight speed. The tendency to oscillate, and thus the holding force, mainly depends on the speed of the tail servo, but also on a mechanism free of play, with an easy moving linkage, as well as an optimum drive (without belt slipping, or breakdown of the motor controller at full coll.pitch, etc.). You can additionally optimize the gyro‘

• Axon bavarianDEMON, The attitude stabilization („head gyro“) for the ybarless head maintains any attitude and prevents disturbances, such as ballooning, if the pilot does not apply any further control input. On the ground, the function is visible on the swashplate: when giving control input and subsequently letting go of the stick, the swash moves slowly back to level, maybe even staying in the controlled position for a short moment. This head gyro function can also be used for ybared heads, to assist the the mechanical stabilization, but with a caution not to set the gain too high. An unmatched inter

• Axon bavarianDEMON, TRIMMING Using an electronic head stabilization, trim adjustment on the transmitter is not allowed (and not necessary). The system interprets any trim as a control input. Helicopters equipped with ybar, even though they would not need an electronic head stabilization, can still use it in order to correct any minor trim differences and drifts. To do so, start with very low head gain and increase carefully. 11

• Axon bavarianDEMON, Important: no exceptions are allowed regarding the setup of Horizon and Rescue modes, in particular: • The coll.pitch travel must reach its 100% marks as displayed in the DIAGNOSE menu, positive and negative, with correct signal direction. • For using the horizon modes ‘Acro’ and ‘Upright’ and the corresponding rescue modes, the main blades’ angle of attack must be set to exactly 0° when connected to the DIAGNOSE/TRIM menu, otherwise the proper function of the system’s horizon and rescue features cannot be ensured. Self-leveling can be used for various purposes: primarily as a training aid (“safety net

• Axon bavarianDEMON, Explaining the options: 1 [SCALE] LED green = ON, red/yellow/blue = OFF Not suitable for 3D ying and allowed only for helicopters which, due to their coll.pitch range (asym- metric), are not capable of inverted ight. Here, the Horizon channel works similarly in both direc- tions, no matter whether either a negative or positive signal is supplied, i.e. +50% = -50%. The following modes provide the option for Rescue functions. These options are allowed only if the model is set up with a symmetric coll.pitch range (e.g. -12° to +12°,

• Axon bavarianDEMON, AUTOMATIC COLL.PITCH The automatic coll.pitch action of the rescue feature overrides the coll.pitch stick commands more and more with increasing gain setting on the Horizon channel. A signal of -100% (according to DIAGNOSE menu) completely overrides the coll.pitch stick, which is the highly recommended setup. Furthermore, the rescue mode should be triggered only by a spring loaded momentum switch, so that the pilot re-gains full control by releasing the switch. NOTE ABOUT THE HORIZON MODE’S RESCUE OPTIONS The described rescue options provide an extremely high reliability, even during extreme 3D and acro maneuvers, based on following our rules for setup and handling. We see t

• Axon bavarianDEMON, 15 GOVERNOR The AXON includes an internal governor, suitable for electric and gasser/nitro use, which takes over the rpm control from the external governors/ESCm and is able to do this with high efciency due to additional information about the current ight status. For use with electric helis, either a special, separately available sensor (see accessories) needs to be used, which will simply be run over one of the motor wires, or use a standard hall sensor with corresponding magnet. For use with gasser/nitro helis, always use a standard hall sensor. The param

• Axon bavarianDEMON, VIBRATION ANALYSIS This page shows the result of the vibration analysis, divided into head, tail and motor sections. If all sections are green, no critical vibration has been detected. If critical vibration is detected, the section with the highest vibration will be marked rst. Example: Tail and head have too high a level of vibration, but the tail is worse. In this case tail would be marked rst (yellow or red, depending on the strength of the vibration). Once this issue is solved, in the next step the head would be marked. On

• Axon bavarianDEMON, TROUBLESHOOTING SERVOS DO NOT RUN AND LED FLASHES RED See chapter LED FINE MOVEMENTS WITH DIGITAL SERVOS ARE HEARD No problem, these result from the control loop, made audible by modern super-fast servos. JERKINESS OF TAIL SERVO If the tail gyro‘s auxiliary channel is at neutral position, it will stay around the switching point between heading hold and normal mode, and may randomly switch it on and off. Use either a positive or a negative signal in the tail gyro channel to dene the mode and obtain a “useful” gyro gain. NO CALM FLIGHT ATTITUDE

• Axon bavarianDEMON, WE RECOMMEND FOR YOUR SAFETY • Always observe a sufcient safety distance from persons and objects, including yourself. • Do not underestimate the inertia and momentum of rotating rotor blades. • Always observe legal regulations. • Keep your distance from radar stations, transmission masts and other radio interference sources. • When passing on the model to third parties, always pass on these warning notes as well! DISCLAIMER Installation, adjustment and operation of the autopilot and a helicopter require appropriate skills. Err
