Hi Simon,
I got Jason Fletcher to set mine up for me, set the normal mode (not heading hold) on a rotary or slider switch
and turn it up to about 60%, with some help lift the nose up, the elevator should go down a little, on it's wheels
turn model to the right and the rudder should move a little to the left. With the ailerons, hold the model up and
bank it to left and the left aileron should go down a bit and the right one up, check a bank to the right.
This may seem simple but I know of two pilots who have lost models because they did not check and understand.
FLYING turn the slider back to 0 then take off, trim out and move the slider up a little at a time until one or more of the control
surfaces start to oscillate during a fast pass, turn the slider back a bit then land. have a look on the screen and check the
reading, on my 18sz it is set at 30 but I know it could go to 35/40. mine is now set on a two pos switch so that I can knock
it off if I need to. Because it is so important you understand what the gyro is trying to do get another pilot to check with you.
I hope that this is of some use to you, I am going to Long Marston JMA meeting on Sunday.
PS in calm conditions it will not do a lot but when it is windy you will notice how steady it is.
Good luck, Mike.
