Item Description:
Major update to the most popular FPV HeadTracker.
Built upon the enormous success of the TrackR1, the TrackR2 adds a professional molded enclosure, anti-drift, and support for safe FPV flight in a student/trainer configuration.
LCD Headset Power.
The TrackR2 includes a super-quiet switching regulator, and a conveniently mounted power jack, which supports directly powering the FatShark RCV922 headset from R/C Tx power (for supported radios).
Safety, via Student/Trainer Mode.
Several modeling federations are starting to awake to the fact that FPV is here to stay. One of the requirements for FPV flight at sanctioned fields (in France for example) is a student/trainer mode, allowing a ‘spotter’ to take over control of the plane at any time.
The TrackR2 supports this with its Student/Trainer mode, where a student, flying FPV, can be equipped with the headtracker. The TrackR2 combines the student radio signal with the gyro servo positions, and passes it on to the trainer (master) Tx.
Compatibility:
The TrackR2 only supports mid/high-end Futaba radios (7C/9C, PPM and PCM) for the master/trainer Tx, and low-end Futaba radios (4 channel, etc. ) for the student Tx.
Certain lower-end radios, which provide independent PPM In/Out signals (older 6 channel futabas for example), are also compatible with the TrackR2, either in stand-alone, or student-trainer mode.
Specifications:
* Very Responsive 2-axis Gyroscopic Head Tracker

* Gyro Channel for Pan/Tilt
* Pan/Tilt Gains
* Pan/Tilt Anti-drift
* Servo centering
* Servo limits
* PPM output polarity
* Power Requirements: 8.0-20v DC, 20mA (without headset power), ~400mA (with RCV922 power)
Make sure your training port is not disabled, it can happens when you switch models.
Your radio must to be in normal mode.
