Installation
tips on using the PC program for the 6 Channel 2.4Ghz Tx that comes
with the Blueray RTF heli. This low cost but very configurable
Transmitter system is also usable on fixed wing as well as surface RC
devices. Additional Recievers are very inexpensive ($15)
Follow the video to install the driver and run it for the first time.
Make sure it's communicating and click GETUSER BEFORE you make any changes.
Save your settings to a default file so you can come back to it.
Do
not keep saving the same file name, you want to be able to revert back
to a previous file if you mess something up. Name them incrementally
Blueray1, Blueray2, etc.
My default file is particular to MY helicopter, Your Endpoints and Subtrims are likely to be different.
Suggestions for changes over the defaults:
Change the Endpoint values for Ch4 to -60 and + 60. This will turn down the Piro rate of the Tail.
Change the Swash AFR for Ch6 (Pitch) to -60 to reduce total pitch range to +/-9. Check and set this with a pitch gauge.
Change Endpoint adjust for Ch5 (Gyro Gain) to 80 initially so you don't get so much gain
you get a bad tail wag. Gyro should hold pretty well w/ a max gain of
80 initially.
Voltage levels (tested by someone else) of the LED power indicator LED steady green : SupplyVoltage > 10.8 Volt LED steady orange: 9.4 Volt < SupplyVoltage < 10.4 Volt LED steady red : SupplyVoltage < 9.1 Volt It is ok to run NiMh batteries into the orange category but once it gets down to the red you should replace IMMEDIATLY!
***
When using the default Blueray setup in another helicopter OTHER than a
Blueray 450 (such as a Trex 450, EXI 450) you will possibly need to
reverse servos and/or Swash AFR values SEE THIS LINK FOR BASIC CCPM SETUP PROCEDURE.
Note about the Antennas: Some
of the newer version RX's are comming with longer antennas. This allows
you to locate the antenna further away from the body of the Rx or
Satellite Rx. DO NOT SHORTEN the wires by cutting them. The last
2.5-3 inches of the wire is the actual active part of the antenna and
the rest is a sheilded cable. If you cut the wires short, the antenna
will not work properly and drastically reduce your range!!!!
Note
about the Gyro Gain: It uses mixing to make VR(B) dial operate the gyro
gain. One way is HH mode (usually left) The other way is Rate
Mode (usually right). Do a Gyro Bench test to make sure Gyro is operating correctly.
