I upped the gain on the Gy240 to about 40% and set the e-board TR pot to yes, about 40%. This was after playing a bit with 0/25, 25/25, 50/25.
Yes the Gy240 must have its REV switch ON - its Reversed.
Check out the pics of the installation - looks nice and neat, and I am glad I get to keep the stock e-board, and I am happy to be rid of the stock radio!
Markind,
Based on the install method you have pictured above, exactly how do you get adjustment screwdrivers inside that tight space to peak and tweak settings? I just got word from Tower that my GY240 is finally on its way, and should be here early next week. I'm dying to get my bird flying again, however after having my E-board take a hit, I like the idea of hiding electronics in nice, reinforced, internalized spaces rather than having the gyro outside and on top of the whole darn thing, just asking to take a hit somehow.
Regardless, I will be installing mine with the Mini ESC that HeliMax recommends. I assume the only variable that I will affect with that is a slight reduction in operating time as opposed to running everthing off the stock e-board. (I do realize, of course, that having a damaged e-board would make that piggyback mod impossible anyway.)
Oh, and FYI, the 1kohm POT did not repair my failed e-board middle 'gain' pot. I was debating on trying a 10, and then 100K pot for the heck of it anyway, since they're so cheap.
StIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiillll waiting.. Nothing works slower than Tower... they keep chugging, and chugging, and chugg...
