The AD2 pitch controller is a highly flexible and easy to use automatic pitch controller for use in any model submarine.
Onboard electronics monitor the boat's attitude and automatically adjusts the dive planes to bring the boat back to a level pitch, avoiding the embarrasing 'porpoising' that can occur if you try to keep at level periscope depth manually.
Three levels of user-selectable sensitivity.
Mount in any orientation and simply run through the setup procedure to configure the unit correctly.
Can also be used to monitor the boat's roll and adjust a counterweight or auxiliary control plane to bring the boat back to level, particularly useful for single propeller subs with a propensity to roll with throttle application.
The new GHz radio systems require a slightly different set of programming, so please select that option during checkout.
AD2 Automatic Pitch Controller
- Any orientation works! The AD2 uses a 3-axis sensor and a simple user configuration interface to allow it to be installed in any convenient orientation.
- No more needing to choose between “wires facing back or wires facing forward…”
- Pitch command priority algorithm always lets you override the angle signal, no matter what angle you’re at.
- Pitch command limits are user defined so you can’t accidentally overdrive your servos or bind linkages.
- Setup/Sensitivity/Zero Calibrate Button: All setup functions as well as sensitivity adjustment and zero bubble calibration are accessed through the multifunction setup button.
