Can I control how hard the GY601 "hits"?

[rob_jones]

I have a GY601 in one of my EVOs and love the way it holds rock solid- no matter what I do [wrong]. I have it in FIA mode and set up using the Jason Krause instructions. When I do a fast piro (such as a stall turn), it "hits" really hard when I stop. So much so, that I'm kinda worried about breaking something. Can that be softened up any?

I know I could just pick up the manual and read it, but I'm at work and it just occured to me to ask. Besides, it's fun to get a dozen replies telling me to quit asking dumb questions and RTFM. :nanabobo

Change it to 3D Mode.

That sounds simple enough. Thanks!

Thanks, Robert!

So, like, in 3D mode, would I use the RUDDER ATV to control the piroutte rate the same as with a GY401?

You use the rudder ATV or AFR to control the piro rate. It doesn't matter if it is in 3D mode or F3C mode. If you want to soften the stops. You can adjust the AVS menu. With this menu you can get it to the point that the tail drifts to a stop like it would with a mechanical gyro. AVS is what I use to control how the gyro stops the tail.

To soften the stops, I would lower the AVS value, correct?

[DavidH]

Been a while since I have adjusted mine. But if I remember I believe the value is raised to soften. It will be obvious which way is the correct way. Make about a 25% change and try it.

I have mine in 3d mode and used 5% stop delay "Control Delay D" for both
directions, seemed to do the trick.
This may vary with how much gain / piro rate you are running.
