Since this thread seems to have been visited by lots of FAA co-pilot users perhaps some one can answer this question.
I have fitted a the basic fma co pilot to a e-powered raptor 30.
I have futaba T7CP transmitter. As I don't have a user switchable gyro I have both channels 5 and 7 free and have tried the co pilot attached to both.
The co-pilot works 100 % ok but what I don't under stand is how to fully turn off the pilot with a switch.
If I adjust end points on ch 7 , or on ch 5 the end points and the gyro top and bottom % I can get the co pilot to only reduce the swash plate movement in the "off" position , if I put my hand by the sensors there is still a small reaction and the swash plate moves a small amount. the only way I can get this not to happen is to turn the manual sensitivity to nearly off, this makes the switch "off" position truly off, but also severely affects the amount of movement that the co - pilot applies when in the switched on position on either ch 5 or 7.
so the question is ; How do I get the pilot to fully switch off but work on 100% position on the sensitivity position [ fully clockwise] when turned on?
