Default RE: G90 Gyro on CPP

Hey Jrizzle,

Well, I had one on my CPP, and stole it to use on my Gaui 200...but I ordered another one for the CPP...so that should tell ya something!

It helps alot, but don't expect miracles, either. It will keep the tail much more stable, but mine still had that tendancy to just flip the tail out 45 or 50 degrees with no warning. Overall, though, it is much more stable with the G110/G90 than without.

It is much more effective with a new tail motor. Helps alot. With a new motor, and some tweaking of the gyro and 3 in 1, it is pretty nice to fly.

Speaking of tweaking, expect to do alot of that. It's not really like the CPP manual says, and just turn the 3 in 1's gyro pot all the way down, to "disable" it.

I got the best results with a LOT of experimentation mixing the 3 in 1 pot, and the pot on the gyro as well. When you finally do get it close, it doesn't take much turning on the pots to get it dialed in.

I didn't realize how much it did until I took it out of the loop one day as an experiment. The gyro DOES HELP, for sure!

I never did get the tail "locked in" by any stretch of the imagination. But, alot better? Yes!!

Hope this helps. Let us know how you make out with it. I am dusting off my CPP as is Evedreamer, we are going to give them another shot!!

BTW, how's the Quark flying lately?
