Gyro mixing function (GYRO)-(HELI only)
What is a gyro? Gyro is short for gyroscope. A gyroscope is an electronic unit that senses rotational
How does it help in helicopter setup? A heading-hold gyro will totally eliminate the need for revolution
a complex curve operating properly.
Gyro sensor types:
cutting-edge micro electromechanical system, or MEMS, sensors detect smaller angular deviations that any
other technology.
Choosing the right gyro for your skills, your helicopter, and your budget:
Mechanical: Some are still available. They are very challenging to set up and not as reliable as piezo or
SMM.
Non-heading hold piezo: these are now inexpensive gyros that are reliable and easy to set up. Some have
Heading hold piezo: Until recently, the cream of the crop. Expensive, and more complex to set up. Adds
Heading hold SMM: 21st century gyro technology. Computer chip technology. Expensive, easier set up,
faster response when using specialized digital servos. Examples:
GY401: Simple set up. Ideal for learning aerobatics through 3D.
GY502: Ideal through class III competition.
GY520: Simple set up. Perfect for entry-level models through 3D competitions.
GY611: Exceptional center. Extremely fast response time. Requires specialized servo.
GY701: Exceptional performance. Combining a governor and gyro in one unit.
CGY750: Flybarless system. Incredible performance that combines 3-axis gyro with governor. Requires an
adapter for use with the T6J.
Gyro mixing function is used for adjusting the gain of the gyro. Select from two different gain settings using
a switch on the transmitter.
