  •  The Inertia 860 is a high performance 3D gyro for model helicopters from 250 electric to 90 size nitro.  Built to the highest specs, the Inertia 860 provides excellent accurate response.
  • With a premium quality sensor and a powerful controller, Inertia 860 offers very consistent yaw rates avoiding outside variables such as rotor head speed, rotor disc loading, flight speed, wind, etc.
  • Small size and very light weight allow you to mount the Inertia 860 almost anywhere on all size helicopters.
  • Support for most servo types.
  • Tweak and tune your Inertia 860 with the Inertia hand-held LCD Programmer (the LCD Programmers are purchased separate

Operating instructions

It is necessary for you to follow these following steps in specified order to successfully install your new Inertia 860.

  1. Connect Inertia 860 to the receiver. Do not connect the servo to the Inertia 860 at this time.
  2. Assign gyro gain to a 2 position switch to facilitate switching between Normal and ACVS.
  3. Ensure that the transmitter trims and sub-trims are set to zero and that collective pitch to tail pitch mixing is disabled. Power on the Inertia 860 and check that the LED responds when toggling the gain switch. When the LED is on it is AVCS mode and off for Normal mode.
  4. Refer to the following LCD Setting Adaptor guide for detailed setting.
  5. Connect the servo to the Inertia 860.
  6. In Normal mode perform mechanical adjustment of the servo horn and control linkages to achieve approximately 8deg tail pitch.
  7. Adjust gyro gain for both Normal and AVCS modes via your transmitter.
  8. Perform final checks. Confirm correct relationship of rudder stick and gyro response to tail movement. Confirm that there is no mechanical binding.

Power On

Once power on, LCD will display HELLO. After 5 seconds, configuration card will display gyro settings and is ready for use.

Default SettingWhen HELLO is display, press +10 and -1 buttons simultaneously. Configuration will return to default value.

System ResetReset button is located at the bottom of LCD configuration card.

NORM

(Default)

Rotate the helicopter left (nose). Rudder servo should compensate to the right automatically. Otherwise, change value to “REV”. As shown in the diagram

3MID-TRIM

Rudder Servo Neutral Adjustment

Attention: Rudder SUB TRIM value of Transmitter should be set to zero . Install rudder servo horn to closest to 90 degree. Use MID-TRIM to fine tune the neutral point of servo horn to achieve exact 90 degree. Check the neutral position by switching the Inertia 860 to the NOR mode, or by moving the rudder stick to the left and right at least three times at high speed and immediately returning the stick to the neutral position. This temporarily resets the rudder servo.

4L-LIMIT

Rudder Left Pitch Travel Limit

Menu items

Description

0 ~ 240

(Default 160)

Adjust rudder servo travel at end limit.

Suggestion

Suggested setting between 160~230. If setting is higher than 230, please install ball link to the outer hole of servo horn or use longer horns. If setting is lower than 160, please install ball link to the inner hole of servo horn or use shorter horns. It is recommended to keep difference between L-LIMIT and R-LIMIT within ±20.

Gyro activation auto-check

When you power on the Inertia 860 it will immediately perform automatic calibration of the rudder stick and gyro natural points. During this time the helicopter must remain undisturbed and the rudder stick must be left at the neutral point. The calibration lasts approximately 3 seconds and upon completion the tail servo will move to the middle. The calibration will not start if the Inertia 860 is not receiving a valid rudder signal from the receiver or if the rudder stick is not centered. In both cases the LED will emit the Error flashing sequence (see Status LED section later in this instruction).

Status LED

During normal operation the LED provides simple status information for users.

 

On:

AVCS mode. Stick at neutral.

Short blink three times:

AVCS mode. Rudder input detected.

Off:

Normal mode.

repeating flash:

Error. Gyro not receiving valid signal from the receiver or unable to calibrate because the rudder stick is not centered.
