nor operation. Due to the high level of vibration and centrifugal forces
the magnet may come loose or the sensor alignment may change. Ev-
ery 10th flight verify that the magnet and sensor are properly mounted.
If abnormality such as vibration etc., is recognized on the aircraft
side during operation, be prepared to turn off the governor immedi-
ately.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE:
WARNING
Even though the CGY760R is a high performance gyro and governor,
it will be necessary to ensure that the helicopter mechanics are also
in optimum operating condition. 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.
• Always ensure the drive gears, torque tube, pulleys, belt, bearings and
shafts are in proper working condition. If any of these items are damaged or
worn they must be replaced.
• The linkage rod, tail rotor bell crank, pitch slider and tail rotor grips must
operate without friction to obtain the best performance from the CGY760R.
Binding in the tail rotor control linkage will decrease the performance of the
CGY760R gyro and this may also shorten the servo lifespan. Please take
the time now to ensure the tail rotor system on your helicopter is working
correctly and without friction or binding.
• Vibration will affect the CGY760R’s overall performance. All rotating
components on the helicopter should be balanced to minimize vibrations
in flight. Ensure that your engine or electric motor is running smoothly and
that all vibrations have been addressed before installing and test flying the
CGY760R.
