RC flybar helicopter
Can this board be used to stablize a fly bar helicopter?
Re: RC flybar helicopter
If you asked for flybarless, the answer was an easy yes, search for the helicopter integration thread. With gyro it does what other fbl electronics do; with acc activated, it does the horizontal level thing.
Now with a flybar I dunno;
the flybar does about the same as what the gyro would do At worst, those two would be fighting each other continously.
The advice from experienced heli pilot was 'get rid of that flybar stuff; go fbl to begin with'.
Also, take into account the yaw gyro functionality of MWii is that of a rate gyro. A 10$ hh gyro will do better.

Hi All
I am new to this so I am going to ask a bunch of questions:
1) Does the MultiWii board do the CCPM mixing. or do you use the CCPM on my spectrum DX7? I think you use the MultiWii for mixing.
2) I would like to activate pitch and roll control only using the AUX 2. I am an experienced pilot so I would like the board to stablize upon request. Is this posible? Basically X,Y and I would handle elevation (Z) and Yaw control at first.
3) I am a C, C++, Python and C# programmer so the code is nothing new. I would like to play with GPS and position hold (X,Y only) for a rc helicopter. Possible?
4) Extend to elevation and Yaw hold later.
My first thing would to get working would be Attitude stablization, I would handle the rudder and throtle manually at first.
I have read you can use a flybar you just have to turn down some settings. I have the Align 450 Pro flybar with a very nice tail gyro.

1 yes
About flybar - not sure. The flybar and the fbl.controller will fight continuously.
2 to 4
Will require some extra coding. should be doable the required info and inputs like passthru is alreafy available.

Re: RC flybar helicopter
I can add a little info.
1) MWii works as CCPM mixer.
2) You can activate/deactivate stabilization (PassThru) from any selectable switch.
2) Gps code should work same way as on multicopters.
4) It can be problem with the baro because of the large air stream from the rotor creating weird pressure....
It's intended to be used as a FBL stabilizer.
Flybar and Gyro will try to do same job.... Can create problem....
You can try to set Gyro P value very low or even zero.
Should leave FB in control.(theoretical)
Throttle and yaw need to be connected to FC to be able to Arm and do some settings.
