Calibration question

I just got my Stratux ADS-B and the artificial horizon display 90° off. 2 questions, how do i tell iFly that i am level, not one wing down? I fly a taildragger, how do i set it for level flight? On the ground my nose is up. Thanks.

With your computer or tablet connected to your Stratux via WIFI, go to your browser and type 192.168.10.1
This will take you to the Stratux operating software program.

Next, tap Menu at the top left corner of the screen. Then tap settings. Once there, tap Set AHRS Sensor Orientation and follow the instructions to tell your Stratux which direction is forward, up, and down.

Next, sit your Stratux on a level surface and tap Calibrate Gyros.

When you are running the iFly GPS program, you can click on the artificial horizon instrument to recalibrate your Stratux or the iFly program. If in flight, make sure you are flying straight and level.

Or, click Map Mode, then the gear symbol next to 3D EFIS, then AHRS Calibration Options then Recalibrate to Level.

Note, these recalibrations don't work when in simulation mode.

Does your Stratux have the AHRS module? For best results, you need that. If not, you get get one on Amazon for about $15.

Re: Calibration question

Tim,

You always do a great job spelling out procedures step-by-step for folks. Greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking the time and effort to do that for people here.

I should save all of them and make a little checklist for my IFly! Thank you. Mike N714AJ
