SERVO/RC SETUP

The flapping fin Blimp requires for servos for movement and altitude control. Therefore, four outputs on the autopilot will need to be assigned to the Front,Rear, Right, and Left side servos. This is accomplished by setting the SERVOx_FUNCTION for each output connected to these servos as follows:

SERVO POSITION	SERVOx_FUNCTION
REAR	Motor 33
FRONT	Motor 34
RIGHT	Motor 35
LEFT	Motor 36

ARMING SWITCH

While it is possible to use ARMING_RUDDER = 2, to allow arming and disarming via the throttle and rudder sticks, this could allow accidental disarming in the air. Therefore, it is better to the use an RC channel, controlled by a two or three position switch, to arm and disarm. This can be accomplished by setting the RC channel’s RCx_OPTION to “153” .
