Before moving the gyro over into the Jungmeister, you might want to try one more thing in the Eagle to gain more experience. Try varying the gains in each channel to get a better idea what's happening to the behavior when each axis is altered.

Reason ? Your Jungmeister won't react quite the same to the gyro. Especially on aileron and rudder. So you'll no doubt have to play with the gains in the Jungmeister to optimize the effect of the gyro. The Jungmeister will probably appreciate fairly high gain in the yaw axis, and maybe in the roll axis as well. Pitch probably won't be a big deal providing the CG isn't too far aft.

Does the gyro have provision for turning it on and off in flight ? If so, you may learn a lot by turning if on and off while flying just to evaluate the contributions of the gyro as you experiment with gains.

thanks Dick. Good idea. I’ll play with the gains before moving the gyro. I can turn it on and off in flight.
