Status: offline 		I have a Belt CP with the stock RTF radio(I know that is a problem). I installed a Futaba gy401 gyro to get that heading hold stability but I need to adjust the gain and I don't know how. The gain is in channel 5 but there does not seem to be a control on the radio to adjust it.

Can anyone be of assistance?

Thanks....

Status: offline 		Unfortunately, you can't adjust the gain for the gy401 on the unit itself, it only has remote gain. The belt cp stock tx is set up for the esky hh gyro only and you cannot adjust the gain value. Therefore, you can't use the gy401 on the belt cp with the stock tx. Did you choose that gyro yourself? Did your hobby shop recommend it? For similar performance w/ the ability to program from the unit look at the Logictech 2100t, I'm sure someone would be willing to do a straight trade.

Take it back and exchange it for either the logictech 2100t / hitec gyro or the gy240.
