Before you carry out the fine-tuning flight we strongly recommend that you run through the TEST-
FLY ASSISTANT on the ground several times, to familiarise yourself with the sequence of operations
and the way it works. It is also extremely helpful to have a fellow-modeller by your side during the
set-up flight, as he will be able to follow the flow-chart, and keep track of the adjustment sequence.
The system also incorporates a safety function, should anything unforeseen occur:
Moving the flight mode switch to the FM1 position always disables all the gyro functions!
The set-up procedure is divided into two sections:
- BASICS SETUP ASSISTANT
In this section you select all the model-specific settings, e.g. the gyro’s installed orientation in the
model, channel assignment, direction of gyro effect.
- TESTFLY ASSISTANT
In this section you adjust the gyro’s gain (sensitivity) while the model is flying. It is advisable to
run through this section of the Assistant several times before flying the model, to ensure that you
are familiar and confident with the set-up procedure. Carrying out a ‘dry run’ in this way does not
affect the settings you selected in the BASICS SETUP ASSISTANT. If you still find yourself feeling
uncertain whilst flying, it is also possible to land after each setting, and check the current state of
the procedure on the screen.
The only preparations you have to make are these:
- Enter the radio control system you wish to use under Point 3c)
- Assign a three-position switch and a rotary knob or slider at the transmitter
Select the BASICS SETUP ASSISTANT menu from the iGyro menu:
Now follow the instructions on the screen:
At this point you need to define your model’s wing
or tail type. If your model is a delta or V-tail type, do
not set up a delta or V-tail mixer at the transmitter;
the mixing is carried out by the iGyro itself. Confirm
your choice by pressing the SET button twice.
