SpartanRC DS760 Gyro Review and Setup Vids

[mporlier]

Quick question, what software are you using to set the parameters in the gyro, the updater?

[Finless]

As far as I know Angelos has not released the PC software for adjusting parameters yet. I have an early version for testing but the public version is due out soon from what he told me.

The first public release of the PC software will be ready any day now.

Here is my wish list beside everything you will probably put in:

_Please program in the possibility of resetting to factory default! In case we mess up big time.

_As well it would be nice to be able to save configuration files on the local PC. You can than try different setups.

[Angelos]

Both already done

Hmmmm...I wonder who would be flying that one

:wink:That guy must be pretty sharp.

They've even got a video posted. http://www.rotarypower3.com/Trex500 ...arking lot.wmv

Just curious...what servos are most of you guys using with the DS760?

[Finless]

I am using a 9256 on my 600N.
This gyro is the only other gyro I know of other than the 611 that can support the faster frame rate Fuatab 9251/56 servos.

Helirulz,
depends on the heli size.

8900G, S9256, S9254 all work well on the larger machines.
The trex 500 on the videos had 3400G at 6V.
On the trex 450 we had good results with the Robbe FS61BB and S9257. I assume the 3400G would also work fine at 6V.

[Razor_Racer]

If the 760 is about $210, the 650 will be about $180, right?

[MarkWebber]

We'll be retailing them at $185. The prices you listed were accurate a while ago but alas, the dollar continues to fall against the pound.

i run my own spartan 760 on a 3153 on the trex 450 (thats me flying the video a few pages back with the 450) a 9256 in a trex 600 nitro and an 8900g in a pair of synergys. hope that helps.

cheers

I'm curious about something. In order for the gyro to recognize that a DX7 hasn't synched yet, you recommend binding it with full left yaw? If that's the case, God fobid you should ever experience a lockout. Is that actually the recommended method?

As far as I have seen only the throttle goes to failsafe. The other channels stay on the last known position. Please try it and let me know if you find it working different than I have seen.

[ghtracey]

Ahh ok Angelos, that sounds good then. I don't have one, my friend does, I 'll check it out next week and see. What you say makes sense though, and I think I remember seeing somewhere that all channels but Throttle go to hold and the Throttle goes to failsafe.

It might be the AR9000 Rx that got my mind down this track, as it has a dual stage failsafe, but I think that was hold all, and then throttle failsafe after a delay.

Cheers, and congrats on what appears to be a great product.

There are two fail-safes. Fail-safe, and SmartSafe.
SmartSafe holds last good signal except throttle, the preset fail-safe goes to settings at bind.
So make sure you bind correctly to set desired type of failsafe.
