Gyro Settings - PowerBox Systems Mercury SRS Instruction Manual

9.3. Gyro settings

The Gyro Settings menu permits you to adjust the gyro values manually.
We recommend that you set up the iGyro using the Setup Assistant and
test-fly the model using the Testfly Assistant; in the majority of cases it is
likely that no further fine-tuning will be required. However, the following
section describes the individual points in case you ever need to adopt
non-standard settings.
- AXIS: at this point you select the axis which is to be adjusted. The
Mercury SRS offers six axes: Aileron-R, Aileron-L, Elevator-R,
Elevator-L, Rudder-A and Rudder-B.
- FM: here you select the flight mode which you intend to alter. The flight
mode is selected using the transmitter switch you have already assigned
(Input Mapping).
- GAIN: this point displays the gain setting, which can be adjusted
individually for each axis and each flight mode. If you find that gyro gain
on one or other of the axes needs to be increased or reduced, you can
simply fine-tune the value at this point using buttons I and II on the
SensorSwitch.
- ATT. ASSIST: Attitude Assist refers to "Heading" mode or "Hold"
mode, as described earlier. It is possible to switch Attitude Assist on or
off separately for each gyro axis.
- DIRECTION: this item refers to the direction of effect of the gyro axis. If
you are a newcomer to gyros, please note: the control surface must
respond in the same direction as the part of the model which is moved.
For example: if you raise the right-hand wing, the right-hand aileron must
also deflect up.
Caution: please don't confuse this with the direction in which the transmit-
ter controls operate! It is vital to check the direction of gyro effect very
carefully every time you make any adjustments to the iGyro.
