ABOUT VIBRATION ISOLATION AND WATERPREEFING: The CGY760R is fixed with a dedicated mounting pad with good condition and the helicopter performs sufficient anti-vibration mea- sures so as not to receive strong vibration at the time of flight. Also, if there is a risk of the gyro getting wet, place it in a plastic bag and take waterproof measures.
Page 14
The servo type parameters within the CGY760R must match the type of servo you are using. Incorrect setting may damage the CGY760R or the servos, possibly resulting in a loss of control during flight.

Never turn off the CGY760R while the GX (gyro) LED is blinking green at high speed (about 5 / sec). *If you turn off the power while high-speed blinking, setting changes can not be saved and data errors may occur.

Please use the guidelines below and address all issues before installing and flying the CGY760R. • The CGY760R must be used with a rigid tail rotor drive system. Any mod- ern torque tube or belt drive system should be adequate. Do not attempt to fly the CGY760R using a wire driven tail rotor system.
Mounting angle • The bottom of the CGY760R Gyro Sensor must be perpendicular to the main shaft. •The roll axis must be parallel to the tail boom and the pitch axis must be perpendicular to the side frame.

Before each flight, always ensure that the gyros are operating and compensating in the correct direction. The Servo Limit parameter within the CGY760R is used to set the mechanical limits for the tail rotor servo. To obtain the best performance it is recommended to set the limit in the CGY760R to 100% for both directions and then adjust the servo arm length to set the mechanical endpoints.
