It sounds like you have your gyro mounted upside down. If it has a reversing switch use it, if not then rotatate the gyro 180 degrees so that the top and bottom are reversed.

ziomatrixacs,

Can I recommend a program from http://www.iespell.com/. They have a shareware spelling program that integrates into IE Explorer. It would make it much easier to help you if we could understand what you are trying to say...

Default possible help?

I have the GWS PG-03 gyro found on:

http://www.helihobby.com/html/hummin..._products.html

for 49.50

But yours should work.

I have this set up as they ssaid to do it. THere is a green/red light. It is green when you move the tail one way and red in the other direction. At stable idle it should be a bit of both colors.

The problem I have is that it works fine at hover but when you back off to land it spins about 1/4 turn to the right I think. so I have to counter it. This might be because the tail motor hit the ground hard once and the axle is a bit bent. As a result it does not mesh well with the tail gear/rotor. I have it a bit on the loose side so that it runs up smooth but it probably does not turn easily enough at low RPM and thus turns.

However I believe the direction it turns is to the right which means it is turning to easily and over riding the main rotor torque??

Maybe I need it tighter.


What does yours do if you bypass the gyro (if possible) and must have the mixing ?

You might want to check out

and see how this relates to what you are using and check out their suggestions on tuning it.

wow they got a lot of new stuff i think i gunna get a CSM HLG200 with Heading Lock for about 90 i almost got my gyro figured out it seemed like it was to sensitive and in stead of dampening it started pushing to hard and went clock wise so i mounted it in the front ,on the motor lik century said i think this canges the leverage and makes t less sensitive,if that is the case...it might of got broken when my dad crashed it ,it was bout 10ft and he did chopstick and broke a suport strut tail blade and not one but two of the legs on my homemade training gear when this happend i had the gyro under the tail boom so it might of got smacked by the flying tail support
