Description
Bavarian Demon Rigid V2
3-AXIS FLYBARLESS SYSTEM RIGID V.2
THE POWER OF AN INNOVATIVE FLYBARLESS SYSTEM
The RIGID V.2 is equipped with a 3-axis flybarless function on a scale and beginner level, with “autopilot” function, automatic stabilization of all horizontal control movements including the tail-piece, fail-safe function, auto-trim function, integrated swashplate mixer, virtual swashplate rotations and the RIGID mode which ensures the stabilization of flybarless rotor heads. The best feature however, is presumably the globally unique integrated sensor camera for active position holding. It achieves state-of-the-art performance in all areas.

EVEN MORE POWER BEHIND EACH FEATURE IDEAL FOR BEGINNERS
Sensing the position holding close to the ground works much more precisely than using GPS, whereby movements are measured more precisely and controlled. Furthermore, in comparison to GPS it also works in narrow construction, near trees and indoors provided that the light and contrast conditions are adequate. The horizontal and position modes can be switched on or off via a separate remote control channel for more flexibility and support of the short 3D manouvres. The effective linearization of the servo movements compensates the an-gular displacement of H4-linkage and precisely and reliably stabilizes the RE helicopters. Helicopter models with a flybarless (rigid) head are more flexible, require fewer parts and motor energy and have approx. 15% more power than a RC helicopter with flybar.
SCOPE OF DELIVERY & GADGETS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN BAVARIA (GERMANY)
RIGID V.2 is completely developed and assembled in Germany. The bavarian DEMON designers and engineers use their many years of experience as RC pilots and the innovations in the sensor technology sector. This results in a product which has been perfectly manufactured and suitable for use on the airfield. The complete package of the RIGID V.” flybarless systems includes the sensor unit plus mounting pads, RC module and a USB cable. Operating instructions and PC software are available for download under the “Service” heading at Software / Firmware and Manuals / Data Sheets.

Flybarless rotor systems provide incredible advantages
• less mechanical parts on the head
• a more agile model
• up to 15% more power due to the missing flybar and paddles
• extremely precise and direct control
• a rotor system like in real life (especially for scale helis)
More integrated features
• Linearisation of servo ways, compensating angular irregularities with H4 linkages
• Virtual swashplate rotation
Upgrade possibilities:
It is still possible to upgrade the former HC-3A and HC-3D (discontinued from 1st of November 2012 on) to the bavarianDEMON-Rigid V.2 at any time. This work must be carried out by the manufacturer’s Service Department. Please allow a handling time in house of 2-3 days.
Features:
bavarian DEMON RIGID V.2
• Autopilot function, stabilizes all horizontal control movements: horizontal attitude (also in inverted flight), inclination and position
• RIGID mode stabilising flybarless rotor heads, 2- and multi-bladed
• Auxiliary „PILOT channel“ for adjusting stabilisation sensitivity (also for Rigid mode) and switching between Horizontal- and Position-mode
• Integral Heading-lock AVCS gyro and second auxiliary „AUX-channel“ for gyro gain and mode (normal / Heading-lock)
• Makes neutral trimming of aileron and elevator unnecessary
• Expanded mixer option: virtual swashplate rotation and sinus compensation for matching unequal push rod travels
• Electronical linearisation to compensate for mechanical irregularities (angular offset) when using H4 swashplate linkage
• Configurable without PC connection by simple procedure for all swashplate types with up to 3 head servos (with PC up to 4 servos)
• Failsafe: if radio link fails the system switches to Position-mode, coll. pitch to hold
• Suitable for combustion-, nitro-, electric- and turbine-powered helis
• Additional adjustment possibilities via PC software
