Airspeed sensor - more tuning needed?

Posted by Hein du Plessis on January 7, 2012 at 3:05pm

I've just installed an airspeed sensor after having 100% succesful flights up to now. I've read on the documentation, this line:

" It is not recommended for most new users, however, as it does require additional tuning and adds one more layer of control to set up. "

I'm worried - what additional tuning is required? What do I need to know before I fly again?

Many thanks

Hein

    Thank you Doug

    Not sure what they mean, I've downloaded the Skywalker parameters and will see how it flies with those airspeed defaults.

    Is there anywhere that I can read up a bit about trim airspeed etc?

    You need to switch to the ARSP2PTCH and ENRGY2THR PID gains instead of the ALT2PTCH PID gains.  And of course you need to have a trim airspeed value configured.

    Ok, i hope there is really nothing to do, going flying tomorrow!
