Question relates to the reduction of voltage to the solidG gyro. I would like to reduce the voltage to the solidG. I'm planning on using a step down voltage regulator. The setup is the two leads from the amp to the recver 1 gear and 1 rudder 1 to the gyro it self and one from the amp direct to the servo. I'm running 6v for all other servos and I need to reduce the voltage to the solid G. Where does the stepdown go.
Thanks
The reason for the question was that it mentioned that the new CY solidG could not handle greater than 5.8V. This is not true. According to the folks at CY Enterprises, this servo can handle up to 7V, I was attempting to reduce voltage to the solidG it self. Not needed

However, as you may know or not know, many tail servos voltage requirement is 4.8. It was recomended that you could put the voltage step down between the rudder channel and the rudder lead from the amp, or direct to the servo from the amp.

Take a look at the two pictures on http://www.curtisyoungblood.com/products_view.php?id=25.

I used to have the stepdown between the gyro and servo before I saw these images, after I installed the stepdown before the gyro I was able to lower my gain down to recommended 39. Maybe the stepdown was the reason for me needing higher gain than 39...

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the info
