shuttle gyro

[zxr750]

thats why i took the mech one off because i knew it would eat my batt i will try the csm again soon but i think i might get a better one still.
will get my manual out for my handset and have a read about setting up again its a bit complecated there are so many settings ie throttle hold idel up and so on and on its the pcm 1024 model

also when the gyro was on i only had rudder one way and not the other ie i could turn left but not right i centred the servo and everything so didnt no what els ther wasto try i hope this bit of info helps cause im lost for ideas

Well for idle up and throttle hold...I would inhibit these for now...ie switch them off...so that when/if you switch accidentally they can actually work.

Not being funny here, but read that manual right through the heli section...Futaba do a good manual...so do read it through.

Check the gyro paperwork too...CSM do write some specific instructions...I would be suprised if they didnt...my CSM gyro came with good instructions...they specifically tell you what the radio should be set to.

Good idea about PCM, its the better of the two. it has built in 'failsafe' for one thing.

A good idea is to mess around with the radio a bit...go through its menus and submenus..and locate where things are.

[zxr750]

well Ive put the csm 200 back on and this time it seems to be working OK Ive yet to fire the Helli up and try it but just by moving the Helli from left to right it seems to be working and the rudders OK too I'm still drawn to the dark side of futaba 401 but still undecided life still gos on and I'm still in a muddle decisions decisions..

oops what have i done i took my heli out today and you know what i did i crashed it operator error i think well Ive totaled it this time i need a complete head unit + tail unit+plus blades back and main ITS GOING TO be a while till she sees the great blue yonder again unless someone out there has a box of shuttle parts they want to sell if you do my email is zxr750@tiscali.co.uk

she's back in the air again Ive rebuilt her painted her i hope you like what Ive done

I would fit training sticks if I were you, at least until the gyro/tail control is ok...one wrong move when setting the gyro is going to wreck your pride and joy.

That is a nice paint job by the way...you use airbrush much? I have messed about with airbrush before...last year I got into spraycan art...mostly fantasy stuff...landscapes on far off fantasy worlds...look it up on YouTube if you want ideas how its done...I might try decorating my Predator one day...the current white and blue scheme is ok...but at a distance its a nuisance.
