Mechanical Installation
:
(
1)
Mount Gyro on the helicopter.
Mount sideways so that Label is facing Left, Right, Forwards or Backwards of
helicopter. DO NOT install with Label facing Up or Down.
(2)
Do not install in the gyro near
the muffler of a Nitro Helicopter. Avoid direct heat from Engine or Muffler
to Gyro.

Connector mode:
Step A
:Rudder
servo connects to Gyro
Step B:Insert
GY292-3
Pin connector to receiver (FUTABA is CH4,JR
is RUDD)。
Step C:Insert
GY292 ,GAIN 1 Pin connector to the receiver,FUTABA
is 5CH, JR is AUX2 or AUX3,
Connect to receiver sensitivity
switching channel。

Gain
Plug should be connected so that single wire is connected to the servo
signal pin.
Set-up and installation of Gyro using gain Channel connected
(6Ch Setup)
(
1)
For Safety Reasons, Disconnect
Motor of Helicopter during Installation and test.
(2)
Turn on the power to Transmitter
(3)
Set Gyro Gain on Tx to 40%
initially for each direction of Channel switch for Gyro Gain on Tx (Using
Endpoint/ATV mode initially)
(4)
Set Helicopter Tx setting to
Heading Hold Mode (If Known)
(5)
Turn on the power to the
Helicopter
(6)
Turn on the power of receiver on
the Helicopter. Before Gyro LED light turns red, do not move Gyro and
helicopter (about 7 seconds),This will influence the set-up.
(7)
Gyro
MUST initialize in Heading Hold mode, not Rate Mode, If Light flashes 4
times a second, That indicated Gyro is initializing in Rate mode and will
not continue until you switch to Heading Hold Mode. If so, switch to Heading
Hold mode and Gyro will finish initializing.
(
8)
Use
the Gain dial on the Gyro as a Servo Limit adjustment. Set Gyro gain channel
switch on Tx to Rate mode. While moving the tail still full left and right,
adjust the gain/limit dial on the Gyro so that the tail slider on the
Helicopter does hit either far end and bind.

Adjustment before operation
(
1)
In lock mode, the Servo will move
to one side when moving the Tail stick then stay there or drift.
(2)
If Tail is drifting in Lock mode,
use tail trim to get tail servo to not move when stick is still. Trim out
tail in flight.
(3)
On initial flight, Adjust Tail
servo position on the tail back and forth so that the tail is not spinning
where you centered the tail trim during Heading Hold mode.
(4)
Increase
gyro gain on Tx until desired holding power is reached or Tail wags. If Tail
wags,reduce Gain about 10% and test fly. Decrease Gyro gain if Tail is
wagging.
(5)
Changes in Headspeed or other tail characteristics may facilitate need to
change the Gyro Gain.
