GYRO — Gyro settings
Gyro settings are used to automatically control the gyro's gain in different flight modes.
It may be set to different values in NOR, ST1, ST2, and ST3 flight modes, allowing you to pick
the gain you need for each circumstance. The Gyro settings control the output at receiver CH7.
Note: this function only works with dual rate heading hold gyros.
Using Gyro Settings
1. Press one of the
Up Down Edit
the function is already activated, but it's set to 50% in all four flight modes.
2. To set the mixing amount for the normal (NOR) flight condition, flip the Flt. Mode switch all
the way back. NOR will be flashing on and off. Set the percentage to yield the desired gyro
gain (this is usually a high-gain setting). If for some reason you want a 0% setting, press the
Active/Inhibit (Clear)
3. Flip the Flt. Mode switch to its center position. ST1 will be flashing on and off. Set the
percentage to yield the desired gyro gain in this flight condition (this will usually be a lower-
gain setting for reduced damping in stunts).
4. Flip the Flt. Mode switch all the way forward. ST2 will be flashing on and off. Set the
percentage to yield the desired gyro gain.
5. Now flip the Flt. Cond. switch fully forward. You may now input a setting for ST3.
6. Make some test flights to try these settings out. Take note of when more gain is need, and
when less gain is needed. You can adjust all of the gyro settings in each flight condition to
suit your machine.
HOLD — Throttle Hold
The Throttle Hold function moves the engine throttle servo to a selected position near
idle, and disengages it from the throttle stick. It is commonly used during autorotation, and
activated with the Flt. Cond. switch on the right rear of the transmitter. You can set the throttle
position to be held over a -50 to +50% range centered about the throttle idle position. Activating
throttle hold also disables revolution mixing (
