Hello,
the Range A (green side) is without heading, Range B (red side) is with Heading. The Heading is much different from other gyros: You can turn it on when starting, flying and landing. The plane will not stall.
We recommend always to use the Heading- the plane will fly very precise but the feeling on the sticks is the same as before.
It´s on pilots choice to use mixers to increase or decrease gain in different flight situations.

Hello,
you don´t have to use Heading mode if you don´t want to. But the Heading mode in the iGyro is much different from other brands: you don´t feel it much but the plane flies very exactly. Try it!

5 more flights today. I tried Heading hold in 4 of these. Yes. As Richard says. By far the best heading hold functionality of any Gyro that I have ever tried. However. It is for sure more noticeable that the gyro system is active. Where as in non heading hold there is little to no way to feel that the gyro is actually fitted. Other then the improvement in the way the model flew. I have mine set up exactly how the quick guide suggested. A three position switch with o% in the middle and 40% + and - Either end. I can then switch the gyro off and in between heading and normal mode. This really shows what a difference the gyro makes to the model in the air. After about 3 or 4 flights, I am now switching on and making the complete flight in normal mode. An amazing piece of equipment that improves the way any model flies.

Ali do you have to turn of heading hold for take-off and landing? I havent tried heading-lock on fixed wing yet but I think I would the jet staying were I put it regardless of the wings, being able to leave it on all the time would be nice. Thoughts?

There are options to buy just the gyro a la carte, and options to buy the gyro with a "sensor switch" and I was wondering if some of you knew what that was all about. It's a pretty hefy bump to the price - from essentially $250 to $450. Not that I'm looking to dump money, but I'm curious as to what it is and does. Check link below. Thanks!

The price difference on the std more complicated iGyro is the GPS speed sensor and USB programming lead included.

Hi
Fitted the IGYRO 3e today pretty straight forward not sure why they say to set it up on a slider first however am sure someone will tell me. I just set it up on a three position switch as in then instructions +45 -40 and checked direction. So hope to get some out soon to see how it feels.

!!!! Caution !!!!
The 40% / 45% in the manual is just an example! Not for your plane! You should use a slider to adjust it in flight. When you found the point where the gyro is stable and not oscillating you take this value of your slider and put it on a switch.

PS, I just bought one. I was sold by the price and the feedback. I was still in the process of mentally morphing to buy the Cortex... the price point of the Cortex seemed about 200 more than I really wanted to spend on a gyro. This iGyro 3E was was only 70 over with good flight test feedback, so there you have it, my arm was twisted. Looking forward to flying it on a variety of test aircraft now.
