The next line indicates if a heading gyro operates in Damping or Heading mode.
If the sensitivity parameter is set to OFF and a control is assigned to the "Gyro"
control function, the value supplied by this control and the respective identifier (<E)
are displayed next to it on the right. If no control is assigned, nothing is displayed
and the sensitivity setting is zero.
Suppression
In Damping mode, the gyro also counteracts intentional control commands.
For improved control, the gyro sensitivity can be suppressed proportionally to
stick travel using this parameter. This function is already integrated in many
gyros. If this is the case, retain the value OFF.
Setting range: OFF to 200%
The setting 200% reduces damping to 0% at half stick travel. If the gyro has its
own suppression function, set the value to OFF.
controlled Axis
Here, you select the control function on which the gyro takes effect in the
model.
In Heading-hold mode, the trim for this control function is switched off. For
helicopters, the static tail rotor compensation using the TAIL ROTOR mixer
is also switched off.
In Damping mode, the selected control function is used to reduce the level
of damping (suppression).
If you are using a Heading-hold gyro, you must check whether the gyro operates
in the displayed mode before operating the model. Make sure that the model motor
cannot start up. Then, switch on the receive system and the gyro.
Set the sensitivity to a mid-range negative value: "Heading" is now displayed
for mode.
Hold the rudder or tail rotor stick in an end position.
If the rudder or tail rotor servo moves to an end-point, the gyro operates in Heading-
hold mode. If this is not the case, the gyro operates in Damping mode: The rotation
direction of the Gyro servo channel must be reversed! The respective procedure is
described on page 146.
