9XR Pro and Futaba GY401
Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2014 8:13 pm
Dear all,
I have bought a Turnigy 9XR Pro (lot more complicate than my Futaba 7CP) running on stock, with the combination of RC long time (3 years) absence, I need some guidance in some issues.
Here, I want to configure correctly the Futaba GY401 gyro, and as the TX hasn't any gyro menu, I figure that I should do from Mixes (please kindly correct me if I am wrong). Please also keep in mind that still I haven't made any test flight (I am still on the bench).
So, I have some possibilities (from what I found):
1) Gyro TX Template write to Mixes page:
+50%P2 switch(!GEA) Offset (100%)
-50%P2 switch(GEA) Offset (100%)
With this setting, as I understand, when I switch the GEA it takes the value of P2 knob (from its position) and give value from +50% (50% HH mode I guess) to -50% (50% rate mode I guess). Is this useful and reliable (I mean that knobs are easily moved even over storage)?
2) Heli template from web:
+65%RUD switch(!GEA) Offset (100%)
-50%P3 switch(GEA) Offset (100%)
I cannot understand how the first variable (I mean +65%) works? I mean, it gets info from rudder stick to translate a % over HH? And knob 3 is used only for rate mode? I don't get it.
3) My thought (if I understand clearly how this TX works):
+80%FULL Switch (!GEA)
This way I get the same 80% of HH and rate mode. I am not sure if I should use offset.
4) My thought for a 3 position switch (if I understand clearly how this TX works):
+70%HALF Switch (ID0)
+80%HALF Switch (ID1)
+90%HALF Switch (ID2)
I don't know if this is useful or not. I also not sure if I should use offset.
Could you please guide me through the best setup of my gyro
