Logictech 6100T Gyro Setup Videos

Finless · 05-29-2007, 08:24 PM

OK this took some time and a few revs for me to get right. Not that this gyro is hard to set up, IT ISNT, but I needed to really get my hands around this thing to bring you all the best information I could!!!

Needless to say this gyro is very good when set up right! In fact now that I have gotten use to it I like it very much..... If I was asked to choose between a GY611 and this gyro I would say 50/50 split. You cant go wrong with this gyro at all.

The bottom line is get it set up right! I hope my videos here help you to do that.

Special thanks to GrandRC for asking me if I would take the time to do this and they supplied me the gyro.

So enough of the mumbo jumbo let get to it!

Part 1: Initial settings on the bench
Sorry for the file size! Lots to cover!
VIDEO -> Initial setup on the bench (97 Megs)

NOTE: Special thanks to HFG for pointing this out as I forgot to mention to readjust your gyro end points if you had to adjust the link in normal mode for no drift.. Adjusting the mechanical link will effect your initial end point settings!
Part 2 : In the field flight setup
VIDEO -> In the field flight setup (35 Megs)

Part 2 : Flight Demo... Hey! I am no hard core 3D pilot but I know a good tail when I fly one

VIDEO -> Flight testing! (30 Megs)

I hope this helps you all!

Wow, i just watched the first 2 setup vids.
The first video explains pretty much all we need and the second vid is really helpful.

Bob, in the 1st you mention 75% expo and the second vid you mention 95% for rate mode setup. Which did you end up using ?

When i return from the US i will try again with these gyros.(i am not used to having to spend so much time on fine tuning but it looks like its worth the effort)

On a side note, the part about mech setup for the tail in rate mode is something i have always done and believe it should be done with all gyro's (even though Fut seems to cope well without)

Another job very well done.

Thanks

YIKES.... DAMN I screwed up on the video... 75% expo not 95% expo... SHEESH... I HATE when a make a verbal boo boo.....

Thanks for pointing that out!!!!

Oz... you REALLY dont need to go to that trouble on a 401 or a 611... Trust me! Ask a PRO if they do and you will get a suprise! 3D pilots have no need for rate mode and they want ALL they can get... Trust me it shocked me too and now I never set up for rate mode anymore... It wont hurt you on a 611 to do so since you have end point travel in both directions.... But on a 401, if you want as much tail as you can get, YOU CANT set up that way....
BUT the Logictech MUST be set up that way for best performance... At least I did becasue I was told it works better that way!
LATER I will try to set up CENTER pitch slider and see if it really makes a difference.

Wow bob that combo runs nice.

Finless · 05-30-2007, 01:35 AM

I'll tell you what! And this is no BS!

The Raptor E620 on FP 3700 10S packs and this gyro and HV85ESC.... IS A ROCKIN SETUP!

I got to tell you this is a FUN heli!

I would not say this if it was not true! I do like this setup a lot! I just wish the Raptor head was a little faster on cyclic... It is SLOW compared to the Trex600...

HOWEVER..... I am getting a Kasama head from GrandRC to test out. If this head works well... I will let you all know
