Stand-alone
operation – computer
module installs between existing receiver and servos.
Micro-size components – Utilizes SMT
components and tiny infrared thermopiles reducing the profile
of sensor modules by approximately 50% over previous Co-Pilot
models.
All new, digital sensor technology –
Digital conversion now takes place within the sensor units.
Communication between the sensor modules and the Co-Pilot
computer is accomplished on standard, 3 wire servo connectors.
The potential for analog noise in any installation is virtually
eliminated.

New
3D modes (currently under development) include
automatic vertical hover, knife edge, and inverted flight.
On/Off remote control can be set up
on any type of auxiliary transmitter switch or knob.
New “Flight Modes” access
allow for setting up different stabilization characteristics
on any type of auxiliary transmitter switch or knob.
Now it is easy to switch between basic stabilization
and 3D modes with the flip of a switch. Learn new aerobatic
maneuvers with safety and confidence. Adds safe and
effective flight stabilization to any R/C model aircraft
for assistance in learning new aerobatic manuevers. |

Unprecedented
Accuracy – As with all previous Co-Pilot models, the
system offers accuracy to 1 degree of the horizon by sensing the
temperature variation between the earth and the sky. Just center
the control sticks and Co-Pilot II will right your model from any
attitude in split seconds.
The optional Vertical Sensor module forces the
system to roll out of inverted to prevent the potential for striking
the ground upon low altitude recovery. When installed, the vertical
sensor also allows for automatic and continual calibration.
Supports all types of radio systems including any
spread spectrum radios.
Stabilizes up to 4 channels for compatibility with
virtually any aircraft configuration including CCPM heli’s,
differential or dual ailerons, flapperons
Supports high-resolution digital servos as well
as analog servos
Works in most weather conditions with the exception
of heavy rain or severe overcast making it the ideal and affordable
solution for radio control enthusiasts. Automatic weather check
can be read out on the LCD at any time.
Flight Stabilization with a “Natural Flight”
Feel – The Co-Pilot II now includes “stick priority”
as a built-in option to provide a natural flying “feel”
when using flight stabilization. Using stick priority, the Co-Pilot II
is now capable of automatically reducing flight stabilization sensitivity
just by moving the stick further away from center. This results
in a natural flying experience without sacrificing recovery time. |

Simple
to Setup and Operate – Includes streamlined “wireless”
user interface for vastly improved and simplified system setup and
monitoring. The wireless system which makes this possible is a new
technology developed by FMA termed “IRNet”. Co-Pilot II
is therefore the first IRNet peripheral to be made available by
FMA/Revolectrix, but IRNet applications will extend far beyond the
Co-Pilot II. This means that with the purchase of the Co Pilot II,
you are already set up to use any future IRNet peripherals that
become available. Items under consideration include GPS integration,
on-board watt meter,
tachometer, temperature sensor, digital servo matchbox, tools for
selecting appropriate electric propulsion components and others.
IRNet offers a fresh approach to Controlling and monitoring
On-Board Avionics – IRNet consists of a wireless,
infrared, 4 button programmer containing a 2-line, 16 character
LCD, and a wireless network router. IRNet range is dependent on
weather conditions but ranges from 30 to 200 feet, line of sight.
The router is mounted in the aircraft and is capable of supporting
multiple IRNet compatible devices. Each device on the “network”
communicates with the IRNet programmer using a unique address much
like the network of computers in your office, but on a smaller scale.
Connected IRNet peripherals are represented as separate devices
in the programmer, each supporting its own unique menu system. Setting
up an IRNet device is as simple as scanning for the device’s
welcome screen and answering a series of questions, much like using
a television remote. Monitoring system information in real time
is as easy as scrolling through the available data screens. Imagine
being able to pre-flight check every critical piece of electronics
in your aircraft prior to takeoff, and all without having to bend
down and remove a wing or even plug in a wire. |
