Hi,I have a Shuttle with a GWS PG-01 Pro Piezo Gyro.
Just to confirm,the Gain adjusts the reaction of the gyro to tail movement and the neutral adjust the turning action of the heli.Or am i barking up the wrong tree.
Also can someone give me an idea how to set it up properly.
It seemed to be o.k before i moved the servo to go onto the tail boom.
I reversed the gyro and have presumed that is all i do.
It was already set up when i bought it.But i found the tail would move slightly from side to side really quickly,not a regular movement but more erratic like it had a glitch.
Reading the various forums i presumed it had to much gain so i adjusted it.
It all went down hill from then on.
The tail started spinning round then it was a bit erratic.So i tried adjusting the neutral.
I was adjusting it while it was running and i noticed when i adjusted the gain the tail mounted servo would move.Also when i adjusted the neutral the servo moved is this normal.
Or should i adjust it when the engine is off.
I should have left it but it was bugging me.
Thanks.
Update.
When i moved the tail servo onto the boom i also re seated my Gyro.It was on some sponge which was the same material used to wrap the battery.This was about 4mm thick.
The gyro looked a bit unsafe so i removed the sponge and used some 3m double sided tape.I also secured it with an electrical tie.
Now thinking about it and reading some info on the web i may be causing the gyro to vibrate to much causing it not to work properly.
So i have now gone back to some of the sponge that was on before and leaving the electrical tie off.
Your thoughts please.
