601 Gyro Limit Setings on Spectra-G?

[Dash]

I'm setting up a 601 gyro on my Spectra-G. I'm using a 9303 radio. I've read that your travel adjustment on your radio should be set to 100% left and right. Also, I read that you should have the limit settings ons the gyro set above 100% left and right (around 120% is ideal). I have setup my throttle servo wheel with the ball at 90 degrees. I then have a push-rod set at 90 degrees to the rudder pushpull bell-crank as per the instructions. I can't even get the gyro limit setting above 60% without binding. My question is, can I reduce the Dual Rates on my 9303 radio for the rudder channel (as long as I keep them equal for both left and right) so that I can keep the gyro limit settings at 120%?.

I reduced both left and right rudder dual rates on the 9303 to 24% each and I'm able to get the gyro limit settings to 120% left and right without any binding. Is this OK? Why are you supposed to have the 601 gyro limits set to 120%?

Do #6 on Page 35 of the Futaba 601 manual. That is the limit adjustments for setting the travel limit of the TR servo. All the stuff on the radio is to be set to 100 other than the GAIN setting .. of AUX/gear channel of radio. Usually 32 to 35% is plenty.

You have to read the manual and look at the display of the gyro control to get most of the info of settings. Even when you change the GAIN you can see it on the GYRO control (mounted on heli) menu. ;)
