Mamba 10 with Aura

The Mamba 10 ships with the Aura 8 Advanced Flight Control System (AFCS) pre-configured and ready for flight.

The Aura 8 AFCS is a 3 axis gyro, servo hub and channel expander all rolled into one device. We have developed the Aura 8 to be compatible with all major radio brands. You no longer need to spend a fortune, nor be restricted to specific radio types to experience state of the art control. The Aura 8 is designed to enhance the pilots experience, while not interfering with the pilots inputs. Your aircraft will fly as if it were bigger, and in less wind, even though it is as agile as you want it to be.

The Aura 8 - Mamba 10 version ships configured specifically for the Mamba 10. Our team has spent hours fine tuning the settings for the Mamba 10 to offer you an exceptional feel of accuracy and control.

With the Aura in the Mamba 10, the Gear (CH5) channel changes the Aura's Flight Mode. Each Flight Mode has specific rates, expos, and gyro settings (gains, stick priority, etc) for different maneuvers or flying styles. During flight, you can change the Flight Mode as desired for your flying style or for each type of maneuver you wish to complete.

During development of the Mamba 10, we wanted to give Expert pilots more options, so we've added the ability to choose your Flight Modes (Stock or Expert) with the Aura's Quick Set feature.

Mamba 10 Quick Set

The Aura 8 has a feature called 'Quick Set' that allows the pilot to change key settings only using their transmitter.

• Quick Set can only be entered if the Aura is connected to the Receiver by a modern Digital Data connection (such as DSM2/DSMX Remote Receiver 'Satellites', Spektrum SRXL, Futaba S.Bus, JR Mode B, Graupner HOTT SUMD).
• If you connected the Aura to a Receiver with traditional PWM Servo Connections, you cannot enter the Quick Set feature and must use the Aura Config Tool on the PC.
• The Aura must be receiving a valid signal from the Receiver to start Quick Set. Make sure the Aura is correctly connected to the Receiver and that the Receiver and Transmitter are bound together.

The Mamba 10 Quick Set feature allows the user to change two settings:

• Choose your Flight Modes - Stock or Expert
• Enabled/Disable Master Gain via Ch8/Aux3 (Optional)

Mamba 10 - Master Gain (Optional)

Master Gain can be enabled in Quick Set mode. Master Gain allows the pilot to scale the gyro gains up or down in flight using the Ch8/Aux3 channel. Normally this channel is set to a knob for easy adjustment.
