correct the unwanted motion for you, so you don't have to spend time to get a complex curve operating properly.
Gyro sensor types: There are many different kinds of gyros. Early gyros were mechanical, with a spinning drum similar
to a child's gyroscopic toy. The next generation utilized a special type of crystal, called piezoelectric, which sensed the
System) technology. These sensors, or computer chips, sense the motion. MEMS is far more accurate and less susceptible
to inaccuracies caused by temperature changes, etc.
• Normal: sense motion and dampen it (if the gyro rotates off course for 2 seconds, it corrects for 2 seconds).
until the same rotation is achieved.
the gain is automatically. This way, if you give a large input for a stall turn, for example, the gyro turns itself off and
• Mechanical: some are still available. They are very challenging to set up and not as reliable as piezo or SMM.
using specialized digital servos. Examples:
• GY401: Simpler set up. Ideal for learning aerobatics through 3D.
• GY502: Better centering than 401 for more advanced aerobatics. Ideal through Class III competition.
• GY701: Exceptional center. Extremely fast response time. Requires specialized servo. With governor function.
• CGY750: Exceptional center. Extremely fast response time. Requires specialized servo. With governor function. It
