What is heading hold gyro?
The heading hold gyro will keep the heli pointed in the same direction until you give a tail rotor command to turn the helicopter to a new heading no matter how strong or gusty the cross wind is. In other words the HH gyro and its sophisticated software have total control over the tail rotor servo at all times.
What is gyro gain in RC Helis?
Gyro gain is essentially how aggressively the gyro attempts to correct the tail when it drifts. If it’s not aggressive enough (low gain), it can’t keep up. If it’s too aggressive (too much gain), it overcompensates.
What is attitude hold?
Attitude Hold : Is the autopilot setting that will hold the pitch of the aircraft constant when set to this mode. For example if you depart and climb out at an 8 degree nose up attitude, engage attitude hold, the aircraft will hold 8 degrees nose up until set otherwise or shut off.
What does attitude mean in flying?
In contact (VFR) flying, flying by attitude means visually establishing the airplane’s attitude with reference to the natural horizon. [Figure 3-1] Attitude is the angular difference measured between an airplane’s axis and the line of the Earth’s horizon.

What is altitude hold mode?
When altitude hold mode (aka AltHold) is selected, the throttle is automatically controlled to maintain the current altitude. Roll, Pitch and yaw operate the same as in Stabilize mode meaning that the pilot directly controls the roll and pitch lean angles and the heading.
What altitude do planes cruise at?
between 31,000 and 38,000 feet
Commercial aircraft typically fly between 31,000 and 38,000 feet — about 5.9 to 7.2 miles — high and usually reach their cruising altitudes in the first 10 minutes of a flight, according to Beckman.
What is loiter flight mode?
Loiter Mode automatically attempts to maintain the current location, heading and altitude. The pilot may fly the copter in Loiter mode as if it were in a more manual flight mode but when the sticks are released, the vehicle will slow to a stop and hold position.
