Hello Everyone

Got lucky and was able to get on the Beta list to test the Eagle Tree Guardian stabilization unit. It's very compact and has some great features. I really think that this might help some of us save a few bent struts, the unit is very reasonably priced and ill bet it will pay for it self the first time you save a set of struts on a bouncy landing.

2d mode, will level the wings automatically and has a heading hold feature, and can be set for auto coordination. If you were flying a big bomber you could also limit bank angle pretty neat stuff.

3d mode, it acts like a 3 axis rate gyro it has 3 axis gain adjustments on the unit, with a master gain on the radio. 3D also has heading hold modes, and a rate mode that will let you maneuver the plane without feeling like your fighting the gyro correction.

It has outputs for, Rudder, Aile, Aile 2 and Elevator. I'm lobbying Eagle tree to add Elevator 2 in a future version.

I was able to test in my Global Jet Club F-4D with a Kingtech K-80 installed for power. Here are the videos of the 2 flights, the first one is very short due to a bubble in my filter. The second one is a full 8 min flight, I have tested the Guardian to the point of over gain as you will see in the second flight where it oscillates in roll. The Guardian even has a auto feature that will automatically reduce your gain when this type of movement is detected.

The performance of the unit is very impressive, check out my bad landing on the second flight. No more bouncy bouncy lol. The best part is the price is very reasonable check out www.eagletreesystems.com it is very close to release a really cool product.
