Demon Cortex Gyro question
#526
My Feedback: (7)
Does the Cortex care where in the plane its located? Is closer to the CG better than stuck out in the nose?
I would think closer to the axis of rotation would provide the best performance but there doesn't appear to be any guidance that you need to place it near the CG.
Is there a best place for the Cortex ?
thanks in advance,e

Hey guys,
I have a Cortex that I am getting ready to install in my Avenger. My question is can I use servo extensions between the gyro and receiver or do I need to move the receiver closer to the gyro?
Thanks in advance

Okay guys,
First let me say Danny at Aeropanda was great helping me get the setup done so the gyro took the inputs but I must be missing something or I'm getting really OLD!!!!!
I am STUMPED, using a Futaba 14SG, channel 4 rudder, 8 for tail wheel linked. I get the gyro set and it will only drive the tail wheel servo, I have also tried using a "Y" connector and it's the same thing.
It does move the ailerons and elevators, more on the elevators than the ailerons but the aileron throw is only 1"
Really getting frustrated, was thinking it may be a bad battery but not sure
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Yea, they have great support and Danny is very knowledgeable about setups and issues.
I had a problem with the original Demon and he drove 2 1/2 hours to come fly with us for a day to work on my setup and brought a spare Cortex so we had a spare sensor, wiring harness and all in the unlikely event I had a bad one.

2 questions;
1. I am mounting a demon cortex (not pro) in 1/5 scale gas prop plane. I understand having the gyro facing forward but the gyro will be mounted upside down in the fuse. Must I reprogram the mounting position or does face up or face down not make a difference and this is recognized in setup ?
2. If I understand the setup instructions correctly I can do the setup for the gyro but leave the gyro turned off for the first trim flight. Once I get the trim flight and control throws done, for the 2nd flight (after checking for correct directional gyro control) I could turn the gyro on in flight and the gyro will recognize the new correctly set trims and throws from the startup initialization prior to second flight?
Thanks
