KDS Flymentor 3D Flight Attitude Stabilisation and Positioning System

New type of sensing process provides reliable geographical positioning, completely independent of the visible horizon.

Particular CCD sensor can catch the ground picture to compare, and prevent helicopter from drifting.
Adjust the working status of Flymentor by AUX Channel, switchable gain system offers three different positions: Off, stabilisation and Position-holding mode.
Head lock gyro outside setting and Swashplate mixer.
Control the sensitivity and mode of gyro by GEAR Channel.
Support helicopters with 3S 120°swashplate,or 3S 140°swashplate,or 4S 90°swashplate, or 4S 90°+45°swash plate.
Attitude stabilisation in inverted flight.
Set Flymentor by computer USB adapter.
If you use FM/PPM radio equipment, Flymentor will make the ailerons, elevator and tail servo back immediately. The pitch will remain in the final signal position. And Flymentor will switch to position mode automatically. The sensitivity is 70%.

Voltage: 4.8-6.0V
Current: 55mA (under 5V)
Weight: 37g
Under stabilisation mode and positioning mode, maximum rotate speed allowed: Aileron and elevator ≤ 200° /sec; tail turning (if using external gyro) ≤ 360° /sec

Includes:
1 x FLYMENTOR stabilization system

Technical Hint:
a. When connect the device to your PC, make sure the device is assigned to COM1 - COM3 port, otherwise, the computer may not "see" the device.
b. Green and blue cables in the manual is mixed up, need to interchange.

It really works in horizontal stabilisation mode. Like Helicommand 3D. The position mode is poor. No camera needed for stabilisation. Good for beginners and making photo and video from heli on high altitude. Green and blue cables need to interchange. You may smoke sigar when flying heli with Flymentor. The price is good!

Discussion of this review:

In the manual is nothing about, but for my self, i can't found a difference between a CSM-CycLock 1 CCPM Manager with 2 Gyros on elev and ail, who can managed this. So i went to trying out, but my time is in moment a little short, for quick response.

This system has 3 built in gyros for detecting movement in axis, (based on the KDS-800 Piezo-Gyro,and this is a pretty good one with nearly 0 drifting and also tested in Glow-Helis) and a optic-sensor for holding nearly the position.
In the manual is a mistake,the gain-cables for rotorhead(green) and for rudder/gyro(blue) are interchanged.
All test's here in europe with flybar are very positiv. So positiv, that Helicommand from robbe begins,(same function, but 4x higher-price)dealers banned to sell the KDS-Flymentor.- but we are old enough for buying directly... and HiModel is in moment the cheapest, so i know.

The quality of stabilisation of Flymentor is mutch poor then Helicommand. But the price is mutch lower too. Unit is very Sensitive to vibrations. Flybarless is not supported. But I can buy 6 Flymentor or only one HeliCommand Rigid for the same money.
