Advancements in UAV Control: Align TREX 600 Electric Helicopter Update

This article discusses the recent developments in controlling the Align TREX 600 electric helicopter, measuring 48 inches in length and weighing 5.4 lbs, with a payload capacity of approximately 3 lbs. Key topics include the hardware requirements for controlling flight mechanisms such as cyclic pitch, ailerons, and collective rotor pitch, as well as implementing stabilization systems like the Helicommand 3A. Emphasis is placed on the importance of rigorous testing, risk management, and ensuring fail-safes for autonomous flight, especially when handling link loss and high latency issues.

  4. Controlling a Helicopter • Elevator (cyclic pitch) • Aileron (cyclic role) • Collective (rotor pitch) • Also on tail • Rotational velocity • Also on tail Helicommand 3A Stabilization

  5. Bill of Materials

  6. Risks Prevention Crash Progressive build process. Testing, testing, testing! Loss of link and high latency Design aircraft software for autonomous flight. Use fail safes (timed hover and land) for complete link loss. Interface to helicopter is only theoretically known. Get the hardware figured out early. Testing the interface thoroughly before flight. Not 100% sure we’ll get the helicopter and stabilization kit Beg, borrow, and steal!
