New IGYRO 3e is here!
Just received the baby brother of the IGYRO known as the IGYRO 3e. With most of the features of the big boy this little man is quick to set up with all the features of the big one for the 3 axis but without the GPS speed / gain function. The gain is set in flight and then transferred to a 3 position switch. Available from Duralite Flight Systems.

Looks like it just go in Between the servos and Rx like the Cortex do so servo power must past through the unit im guessing.
I was looking at the Quick start guide and wondering if the Range A +100 side of the gain would be the same as the Cortex amber side(normal mode)? and the green side -100% be heading hold like the Cortex ?

I have preordered one of these. When you say the gain is on a 3 position switch how do you intend to employ that? Slave to the flap or flight mode switch, say seperate gains for takeoff, clean, and landing. Or its own 3 position switch that you choose a gain setting for slow, cruise, fast? This will be my first experience with a gyro in a jet.

Thanks, lots to learn and then decisions to make... But I imagine the first time during the learning process having the gyro on its own three position switch with one being off will be a good way to learn the gains. Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread with basic questions.

Hello,
the Range A (green side) is without heading, Range B (red side) is with Heading. The Heading is much different from other gyros: You can turn it on when starting, flying and landing. The plane will not stall.
We recommend always to use the Heading- the plane will fly very precise but the feeling on the sticks is the same as before.
It´s on pilots choice to use mixers to increase or decrease gain in different flight situations.

Good luck, you'll love a gyro once you get everything set.

I have a very specific question for both IGyro and Cortex (I post in both threads) :
If I have « special » ailerons acting like this:
Flight mode I:
[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]Ailerons stick input[/TD]
[TD]Receiver ch out ail1[/TD]
[TD]Receiver ch out ail1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Level fligh (no input) (centered)[/TD]
[TD]+100[/TD]
[TD]+100[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Full right turn[/TD]
[TD]+100[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Full left turn[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[TD]+100[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Flight mode 2 (inactive):
[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]Ailerons stick input[/TD]
[TD]Receiver ch out ail1[/TD]
[TD]Receiver ch out ail1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Level fligh (no input) (centered)[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Full right turn[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Full left turn[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[TD]-100[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
See those special ailerons as “only going up” (being down when active and up when inactive) ailerons or like flap mixed with aileron (since flap cannot goes up).
Questions :
Is Cortex can do this?
Is IGyro 3e can do this?
Thanks

I have a other one for IGyro : Base on the pdf flyier, they state :
CAUTION: two important rules for using the iGyro 3e in everyday flying:
1. …
2. Always carry out a check of the control surface movements, taking care to move the sticks
to both end-points.
Is this mean that the gyro is “learning” at every startup the endpoints ? What if you forget to do it or if you do it at half way ?

Thanks Dave ! And about my other question, I somehow change my design so that my "special" ailerons act like normal ailerons...
So, I'm planing in buying the PB unit soon...

As I know,the i-Gyro have a great function--the "heading" effect will change to "normal" when the transmitter stick move from central position. Do this "i-Gyro 3e" have similar function?
