4.2.2. Programming, transmitter without proportional controls
• Move the cursor to the appropriate line, in this case “Ail” for
aileron.
• Press the SET button to activate the Channel field, select the
appropriate value (1 - 10 of OFF), then press the SET button to
save it.
• First select a low value (see P factor section for starting
points) and carry out a test-flight. If gyro stabilisation is not
sufficiently pronounced, increase the value step by step
until the level of correction is as required; if the model already oscillates, reduce the value
step by step.
• Do not select a channel (Ch5 - Ch16); this function is only relevant to transmitters with
proportional controls.
• Move on to elevator or rudder and select the desired value (or OFF).
• Leave the settings for “Factor” and “Factor D” at OFF.
• It may be sensible or easier to activate the gyro for one axis only at first, and then to
establish the optimum setting for that axis, rather than for several axes simultaneously.
Once you have found the optimum settings, you can set up a transmitter switch to control the
gyro, i.e. for switching between gain settings. For example, you could assign a three-position
switch to “Factor” and “Factor D”, and then use it to switch the values between 0% (OFF), 100%
and 200%.
Flight phase specific settings
It is possible to use a channel to control the factor value by setting up flight phase specific
transmitter control settings, but only if the transmitter is an MX20 / MC20 or MC32; please see
the instructions supplied with your transmitter and refer to the “Transmitter control settings”
and “Flight phase settings” menu points for more information.
4.3 Initialising the gyro
After switching on the model of the gyroscope is immediately active but not yet initialized. To
initialize it, you keep your model when switching quiet and straight in level flight - the best
place it on the flat ground or a flat table. After about 2 seconds, the ailerons move up and
down just once. This “wiggle” signaled the successful initialization, the end of the calibration,
only then the model may be moved again. All sticks are to be kept strictly in neutral!
