Hopefully, I will get to that later this week.

While working on this I discovered another potential issue. If you are using another gyro for pitch, roll, and yaw stabilization (e.g. iGyro, Cortex etc.) then you need to make sure the rudder channel feeding the LG15 is NOT stabilized. If it is, you will be in a situation where you have one gyro feeding another gyro, which essentially will disable (not sure to what degree yet) the gain settings on the LG15.
i am using a cortex gyro. it is not the pro version. so steering i know is not affected. the rudder servo plugs into the cortex and then into the receiver.
so you are saying that would be a problem. i haven't noticed any yaw problems while flying. i am using seperate channels for rudder and steering in the lg-15. so the rudder shouldn't be a problem. am i correct in my thinking?
thanks
