F4U Corsair Gyro Replacement Instructions

5. Setup:
Place your F4U Corsair on level ground. Plug in your battery flight pack and let it sit still, at
this moment the plane is in auto self-calibration mode. The LED light on the stabilization
device will keep flashing rapidly for 3-6 secs, then the light will remain solid. In the mean
time the aileron, elevator and rudder control surfaces will move up/ down and left/right 3
times to indicate the self-calibration is successful.
When the self calibration has been carried out the stabilization system is still not in ready
mode. Now check to see if all the control surfaces are in a neutral position. If not, please
adjust the push-rod clevises to ensure all the control surfaces are in neutral position before
flight, then cycle the battery power to store this setup.
After all these setup procedure have been completed plug in the battery once again and wait
until all the control surfaces move up/down and left/right 3 times to confirm the selfcalibration
before flight.
At this point the gyro is not in ready mode until you give the throttle a short blip 10-15% in
order to switch on the stabilization system. Check that the gyro responds accordingly to the
plane when being tilted up/down, left/right and the roll.
•LED indication status
•LED light off (No radio signal)
•LED light flashes slowly (Expert mode) •Led light turns solid (Beginner mode)
To arm the stabilization system you need to open the throttle to a low setting for 1 or 2
seconds then close the throttle. Now pick the model up and check to see if it is in beginners
mode or advanced mode. To do this move the nose up and down with the battery hatch off
and watch the elevator servo movement. If it's in beginners mode the servo will move quite a
bit, in advanced mode the servo will move less. Set the stabilization system into beginners
mode then check that it is working correctly by doing the following test. Roll the aircraft to
the right, the left aileron should go up and the right down. Roll the aircraft to the left and
the right aileron should go up and the left down. Move the nose down and the elevator
should go up, move the nose up and the elevator should go down. Move the nose of the
aircraft to the left and the rudder should move right, move the nose right and the rudder
should go left. If all works correctly then you are ready to fly.
