GP750 & DX7 Gain Question

[J.A.C]

Hi all, nearly completed my little 250 now and have a question regarding gyro gain. It seems that most people are only setting the gain to around 25% and this is where I'm slightly confused. As I understand it the gain for HH (I'm using the gear atv's on my DX7) needs to be at least 50% for it to be in HH mode and less than 50% for rate mode, so surely if I set my gain at 25% ish the gyro would only be functioning in rate mode. Do I set the gain at 75% in HH mode therefore having a 25% gain value?

Any help and clarification on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

...Do I set the gain at 75% in HH mode therefore having a 25% gain value?

Yes. HH mode starts at 50% so that is effectively 0%. So 51% on the radio is 1% gain in HH....then to get to 25% gain the radio will read 75%.

Many thanks for clearing that up, your help is appreciated.

This is not how I under stand it.

I aways thought 50% - 100% was HH mode and 0% - 50& rate. Understanding 50% is really gyro off.

So if we are talking 0% to 100% in HH this would equate on the radio as 50% to 100%. So my thinking is 50% is 0% and 100% is 100%. Now doing the math if you wanted 25% gain you would need to set the radio to 62.5%, that would be half of the 25% plus the 50% (or 0% gain) I think if you put 25% gain or 75% reading on the radio you would really have 50% gain.

Guys I could be wrong, this is just how I always looked at it.

Thanks DVS, is that chart only if you use the gyro sensitivity part of the DX7 though or does it also apply when setting the gain through the atv's?

Thanks again

Craig was mostly right. Watch the Finless gyro gain 101 video. I believe the true gain will actually be X-50 times 1.4. For some reason it is not 2X.

Sorry I don't know the answer to that.

the top row of numbers is what you would use if you're using end points for gyro gain. the bottom is for the gyro sensing menu if you set your gear/aux channel to gyro. It shows corresponding numbers for both.
