venture30/g410t gyro setup

[hueyman]

using a jr 6102 tx and have tail travel set to 150/150 per heli and gyro manuals. control horn distance was set at 18mm - the max per both heli and gyro manuals. subtrim is centered. when i apply full left or right tail the slider is exceeding it's travel limits and jamming the slider against the stops at both ends of travel. to prevent this i relocated the pushrod one hole over on the servo horn to 15mm. now the pitch slider has perfect travel. however, the G410T manual states anything under 16mm from the servo shaft greatly reduces gyro response. Is it better to reduce the servo travel limits to say 100/100 or will this effect the gyro response also?

thx,mike

I have a Venture 30 with the G500T and had the same issues. Lower the travel limit on the Gyro, it should be a little screw on the gyro, you adjust it with the driver that came with the gyro.

Then I removed the servo horn and moved the servo all the way to the right using the tx, pulled the rudder control arm all the way to the right until the slider hit the stops and put the servo horn back on.

Adjusting the Travel Adjust in the radio for the rudder determines how fast the tail reacts, so if the rudder travel adjust is set to 150 it's gonna be quite violent. The Gear travel adjust will adjust the gain. Mine is set to 40% and on idle up, -35%. My rudder travel adjust is set to R75%/L75%, this makes the tail spin a lot slower.

I don't recall how far away from the center the ball link is, but I believe it's whatever the manual said it should be.

I'm a total newb to all this but I've been fighting this same issue for a few weeks now. Also, adjusting the throttle curve to get more RPM out of the main blades has helped the whole heli smooth out, especially the way the tail reacts.

no travel limit pot on the 410t. has to be done by servo arm length.

thanks,

I would try flying with the arm length at 15mm and see what the gain ends up at. The instructions say to set the length to 16-18mm and if the gain gets below 65% then move in one hole on the arm which may put you under 16mm anyway.
