Or do you need 2 programmers one for the older versions and one for the newer ZYX - s version.

Thanks

I updated my programmer with latest firmware from Tarot and then used it with my ZYX v2.5 without any problem. I have not tried to use it with ZYX-S v3.x yet.

You must be able to set them up in your sleep, now.

How do you get it into airplane mode? I don't see anything in the program to set it up in airplane mode. I have just been playing around with the program and have not tried to do any serious setup yet.

I use ZYX-S and software version 3.0. There is a page (in the middle of the setup steps) for airplane mode.

This is my setup:
Roll P gain =10
Roll I gain =10
Roll D gain=0
Which roll should be reduced?
Thanks very much.

I'd go for the total gain on the main page.

I would try to add little D. It is sometimes defined as a subtraction of gain as the Process variable rapidly approaches the set point.This can stop an oscillation before it begins.

1.Optimize the heading hold control, eliminate bouncing when spin brake.
2.Optimize the main rotor control, eliminate swing while tic toc.
3.Accelerate the response speed of joystick, so that the helicopter can follow your hands better.
4.Optimize the pirouette compensation to make pirouette flight more stable.
5.Improve the joystick dead band setting to make stick control smoother.


First Flight Attention with 3.50 Version:
1.During first flight, if there are hunting or swing with you helicopter, please decrease the D gain on corresponding axis first.
2.When tail servo is on neutral point, set the tail pitch to be approximately 8°in the direction that compensates the main rotor torque by adjusting the linkage length.
3.If the brake speed of left and right pirouette are different, please adjust the "Deceleration L" or "Deceleration R". The higher parameter value, the break will be faster.
