704A Head Hold Gyro (Honey bee King 2)

[raphel]

I have just acquired the Esky 704A Head Hold Gyro. Unfortunately it did not come along with any instructions.
I am now confused as I am a total newbie. I need to install it on my HoneyBee King 2.

There are 3 connection points on the Esky 704A head holding Gyro.

1) Black Connector with Brown, Red & Orange wires.
2) Red Connector with a single Orange wire.
3) 3 PINS on the top of the Gyro.

Can anyone please guide me as to how these 3 connections have to be made on the heli?

Also suggest where & how does this Gyro mount on the HoneyBee King 2?

On this forum, a lot of people have suggested different ways to install this Gyro.

Should this Gyro be fixed with its face up or sideways?

If sideways, then the label should be on the right or the left or the heli. (If you stand behind the heli.)

Hope to get a simple answer.

I would guess that the single orange wire is the 'remote gain' and will plug into a spare channel on the receiver.

The other two connections....hmmmm....the 3 cored wire might well plug into the receiver....and the socket might well be for the tail servo to plug into.....this would make sense beacuse the gyro is then the 'go between' for the receiver and the tail servo.

Now.....gyro position.....theres no hard and fast rule....I would try to keep it away from anything that might touch it....loose wires etc.

The gyro should give some indication as to which way up it goes....there might be a a circular arrow direction somewhere?

Position the gyro using some gum or something first off.....becuase if you need to reverse the gyro sense then it might need to be restuck...upside down...if theres no 'reverse' switch then this would be the case.

Hope this helps....I dont know this gyro as such but have used a similar one....which was a CSM 200.

I have just had a look at a website at this helicopter, not a bad looking heli for its price....I have just bought a Falcon 3D which I am looking forward to.

Gyro position is not evident from what I can see.....you can place it in the front if you find room.
