G500t Gyro

I Have The Jr Xp8103 Radio And Cant Get The Gyro Set Up To Work.i Dont Completely Understand What The Gyro Instructions Are Wanting Me To Do.ive Been Flying My Raptor For A Year And Had Problems With The Gyro I Had In It So Ive Upgraded
Thank For Any Help

What exactly is it that you are having problems with? Its funny that you mention that gyro, because I just got home with my G500T about an hour and a half ago and it's all up and running now. I have to forwarn you that I am a newbie at this sport, but soaking up info like a sponge.

Are you having trouble with what wire goes where? You have 3 plugs. The big female plug goes to your rudder servo. Then you are left with 2 male plugs. One of which is white. That one goes into the aux port on the receiver of your choice. Just know which one you plug it in to.(You might need it later to adjust the gain, etc.) The other plug, the last one, goes directly into the rudder port on the receiver.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.I figure the gyro out and have since added a new radio to my collection(xp9303)really nice radio and has a lot more feature
Im not really new to helis but im still a rookie,I dont get to fly as much as i would like.still get the butterflies on the first roll or tumble.maybe i always will.ive been into helis for a couple of years but have only burned about 10 gallons of fuel.
Well good luck,Henry Miller

Hi I am wondering is do you only need 1 channel to remotly adjust the gyro to and from non-HH and HH as well as the gain of the gyro or is there one for each the reason I am asking this is because I am wondering if I will be able to use a 6 channel radio to start this hobbie or if I will need a a 7 or more channel

I started out with a 6 channel radio and flew fine but the one i started out with only had 3 point curves.5 points are much better so i upgraded to 8103 and this is a really nice radio and worked well,i now have a jr 9303 which is even better radio and has a program built in for the gyro and the governor which is really nice feature,which alows you to set the gain to work with your flight modes and you can adjust it to fit your flying style.
Hope this helps

Hi yeh I just want to start to fly a Heli R/C but I dont have much of a budget so I would be happy to get a raptor 30 with a OS 37 for under $1000 AU but I havent found that yet I am going to hong kong soon and I am hoping I will find one over there a little bit cheaper

Hi like yourself and hbomb ime a relevent newcommer to the hobby,i started out abought 5rs ago with a raptor 30 and i used a futarba hitech radio set up and was just getting past the hoverig stage.Ithen purchased the raptor 50 and 60 along with JR,s PCM9XII radio and JRs G490Tgyro and RAY HOSTETLERs setup DVD i set up everything as he said and for the life of me i just cannot contrl the tail, i know its no help but i just thought you my like to know that hbombs not yhe only one having trouble out there.

Hey guys:

I've been working so much lately I haven't had much time to play. It's too bad too because the weather is really getting nice.

Anyway, I'm curious what kind of problem(s) you are having. I pretty much through mine in and just with a few adjustments within the radio it was working like a champ.

If I had to guess, I would say it something to do with a setting in the radio itself and not the gyro. That's my first impression.

Have you tested it with it powered up (electronics I mean) and did the tail swing thing to see if it was working and in the proper direction? I could retype what someone else already has on that subject, but I wouldn't tell it as good anyway. I think I read about that on www.raptortechnique.com it might have been here or something similar, just don't remember.

Let us know what exactly is going on.

Best of luck
