Tx/gyro question
Hi, as i'm sure you know you controll your gyro gain with a knob on the tx, but i want to change to my Twister 2.4 ghz computer tx as seen below.
My problem is this tx has no knob, so how would I go about this? Also UI want to get a dx6i and a gy401, and they need a knob, dx6i doesn't have one. Thank you very much!

RE: Tx/gyro question
Do you have a SINGLE wire coming out of your gyro ?
It would help, if you explained what heli, and gyro you have !
(your gyro should have two connection's, one is channel 4, which is rudder, and the second (a single wire,) which goe's to channel 5).

RE: Tx/gyro question
You DO have the signal wire (yellow one ) .
you still use the gear channel and adjust the high and low settings !
with the switch one way, you will be in rate mode, flip the switch the other way, and you will be in heading hold ! simple .

RE: Tx/gyro question
Ryan, what he was saying about using the gear channel is correct. I don't know about that transmitter, but when you get the DX6I, plug the yellow wire into your gear channel. Inhibit your gyro menu on the DX6I. You will then use the travel adjustment for the gear channel in the transmitter. There will be two values in the menu. One will be for rate mode and the other will be for heading hold mode. Also usually your gear switch will change it from rate mode to HH mode. HH mode is definitely the preferred way to fly.
That isn't entirely true. My gyro rate/HH mode is based on where I have my switch, not the gain.
Above 50% is heading hold ,below is rate mode .
