We only want best for our UAV Drones. It’s tough to maintain a UAV Drone especially when you are just a newbie. Did you know that UAV drones need tuning up once in a while to secure the flying capabilities of your drones?

This article will help you understand the importance of auto-tuning and the steps on how to tune your UAV Drones.

Why AUTOTUNE is important

The autotune mode is a flight mode that flies in the same way as FBWA, but uses changes in flight altitude input by the pilot to learn the key values for roll and pitch tuning. So the pilot uses their transmitter mode switch to switch to autotune mode and then flies the plane for a few minutes.

While flying the pilot needs to input as many sharp attitude changes as possible so that the autotune code can learn how the aircraft responds.

How to Setup your Autotune

To setup your airplane for AUTOTUNE you have to select AUTOTUNE mode as one of the flight modes selectable with the flight mode switch on your transmitter.

You additionally ought to pick a tuning level by setting the Auto-tune level parameter in the progressed parameter screen of your ground station. The Auto-tune level parameter controls how forceful you need the tune to be. The default is level 5, which processes a delicate tune, suitable for apprentice pilots. In the event that you are a more accomplished pilot then you could pick level 6 or 7, which will bring about a bit more keen tune (quickerdemeanour changes). Levels over 7 are not proposed until you have done a starting tune with an easier level. As auto-tune is still test we don't suggest attempting a level over 8 at this stage.

You likewise need to verify that the majority of the fundamental settings for your airframe are right. Specifically, guarantee that all surface inversions are right and that you have a sensible quality set for the base flight velocity (autotune won't do anything until you are over the base flight velocity you have set). Likewise verify you have done RC adjustment, as AUTOTUNE will just work in the event that you have full control developments with your transmitter stays.

Other things to check:

1.  If you have an airspeed sensor fitted then make sure it is working and you have calibrated it. See the section on airspeed calibration.  

2.  Check your center of gravity, making sure it is correct according to the manual for your aircraft.

3.  Check your surface trims. You may wish to use the TRIM_AUTO option after reading the documentation for that option.

4.  Make sure your failsafe settings are setup correctly. Try turning off your transmitter with your plane on the ground (and propeller removed or made safe) and check how the plane reacts.

5.  Setup a rally point for a safe place to RTL if needed.
