RE: There's a scary lot of discontinued Futaba gyros !!
Hey Andy...problem number 1. I am flying an airplane..not a heli, so I dont have an advanced menu in the 9C for planes. Somewhere in the 9C manual I think it trys to say that sensitivity gain equates to ATV. If I set the ATV (gain?) on ch#5...normally a gear channel...maybe that will yield the same results??? I am of course having difficulty with the sensitivity. In what I think may be AVCS mode, the gyro is telling the rudder to hold the last stick control input......not good....the rudder does not return to center when the stick is released. In what I think is normal mode, the rudder makes a quick corrective but small movement and then returns to center. I say "I think"...because the LED is not blinking exactly like the instructions say it should. And the instructions....they are written in some sort of a strange Japanese impression of English...which seems to make little sense...or at least at this point leaves me wondering what they are trying to tell me to do. heh heh...I was hoping to avoid all this grief and just buy a device and drop it in...with real english instructions to help set it up for an airplane. I dont know what to think about all this now....other than it is certainly not flyable as it sits, and I guess it's going to take a lot more experimentation to sort it all out.
I'm going to go try ch5 ATV and see what it does....of course I cant fly it in the garage, but hopefully tomorrow morning I can take it to the field and see what it does.
Thanks for your continued help.
