JR's 10X Heli builds on the already capable 10SxII software, so pilots familiar with the 10SxII will feel right at home with the 10X. But in typical JR style, good enough is never enough and several additional programming and hardware features have been added. Features 3+1 Advanced Digital Trims: While digital trims are an asset when used for airplanes, they have an even greater benefit for helicopters. With the 10X each flight mode's trim (normal, 1, 2, 3, 4, and hold) can be independently adjusted using the digital trim levels. Each flight mode has its own individual trim values that are automatically selected in that flight mode. Any trim changes made are automatically stored in memory. With JR's Advanced Digital Trims, trimming a helicopter in all flight modes is easy and can usually be done in one flight. First the pilot hovers the helicopter in normal mode and adjusts the digital trims for a stable hover. Then he flips into Flight Mode One and trims the helicopter for hands-off fast forward flight. Flight Mode Two can be set up for inverted hover, for example, so switching into Flight Mode Two, the pilot adjusts the digital trims for invertedhover. the pilot then shoots some autos and trims the rudder so it stays straight and gives a bit of down elevator trim to keep the nose from ballooning. The remaining flight modes can be trimmed for any desired maneuver. That's It! Now when each flight mode is selected, the trims for that flight mode are automatically activated and displayed on the screen. This sure beats stunt trims where you have to land each time and, through trial and error, adjust the trim value for each flight mode via the touch screen. |
