[. . . ] This results in superior neutral characteristics. Such characteristics make it ideal for use in the rudder channel of a model helicopter or in the aileron/ elevator channel of a model aircraft. ·Large 2mm diameter gyro motor shaft for long life and strength. [. . . ] To correct this situation, switch the internal reverse amp switch to "REV". After mounting the gyro to the fuselage, recheck its direction of operation. INSTALLING THE GYRO BODY ·The best mounting position is at the center of gravity of the aircraft; however, it may also be installed a short distance away from the center of gravity. ·Install the gyro where there is little engine vibration. ·The gyro can be installed with dampers, grommets, screws, or with double-side tape. INSTALLING THE CONTROL BOX Using the control box nameplate as a template, drill four holes and cut an opening for the slide power switch. Mount the control box on the fuselage, away from engine exhaust and where there is minimal vibration. Pan head tapping screw(2) 2x8 Switch box nameplate Flat washer Rubber Bushing Grommet Switch box (top) Switch box (bottom) Flat washer Nut Double-side tape (clean the surfaces, then attach the double-side tape) Use 2. 3 - 2. 6mm diameter nuts ·Wrap the control amplifier in sponge, to prevent vibration problems. OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT ·When using the switchable gyro output sensitivity feature, connect connector (B) to the retract channel if possible. However, a proportional channel can be used. The output sensitivity switching point will then be at the center or neutral area. ·When the transmitter landing gear switch is pulled forward (or down), the output sensitivity can be adjusted from 0 to 100% with trimmer ( 1 ) . *When the transmitter landing gear switch is pushed back (or up), the output sensitivity can be adjusted from 0 to 100% with trimmer (2). In this case, trimmers (1) and (2) do not interfere with each other, and can be adjusted independently. ·When the output is fixed or there is no spare channel (as with 4 channel set), do not connect connector (B). In this case, adjust the output with control box trimmers (1) and (2). (Insulate the terminals with vinyl tape so they cannot be touched. ) EXAMPLE Adjustment when installed in a helicopter: When using the switchable output sensitivity: Set trimmer (1) to about the 70% of maximum output sensitivity position (100% is full clockwise) as a starting point. Hover with the wind and readjust trimmer (1) so that "tail hunting" does not occur. However, do not reduce output sensitivity to a point where the nose will turn upwind when "lifting off". Set trimmer (2) to about the 40% position when a large rudder travel is unnecessary, such as 540° stall turns, etc. Approx. 40% Approx. [. . . ] The use of a high capacity (4. 8/1, 000mA) Nicad battery is recommended. (The Futaba NR-41 (4. 8V/1000mA) Nicad battery pack can be purchased separately. ) BATT ·Do not expose the rate gyro to shock and vibration ·Do not disassemble or modify the rate gyro When the inside of the gyro must be inspected, remove the three screws at the top of the case and remove the cover. Do not loosen the screws on the bottom of the case. [. . . ]
