P
RECAUTIONS
ｊ Verify that the gyro is operating in the desired
mode.
ｊ Verify that the gyro mounting pads are in good
condition.
ｊ Verify that the gyro wires are not contacting
the frame of the helicopter.
ｊ The servo type parameter within the GY701
must match the type of servo you are using. In-
correct setting may damage the GY701 or the
servo, possibly resulting in a loss of control during
flight.
ｊ Always ensure that there is some slack in the
gyro cables to help maximize performance. Al-
ways use the supplied gyro mounting pads to at-
tach the gyro to the helicopter mechanics. Do not
use a strap that encompasses the GY701 sensor.
This may affect the overall performance of the
gyro.
ｊ Always allow the gyro to adjust to the sur-
rounding environmental temperature before flight.
A large temperature change during use will cause
drift and other operational issues.
ｌ The GY701 sensor uses a high strength alumi-
num die cast case. Do not allow anything to touch
the gyro case as it may cause a short circuit.
ｊ If you are switching between Normal Mode
and AVCS Mode in flight, please keep in mind
that you must have the gyro re-learn the center
position after making a trim change within the
transmitter. To memorize the new center position
simply flip the gain switch on the transmitter three
times between Normal Mode and AVCS Mode
(Normal
AVCS Normal AVCS) within one
second. The tail rotor servo will center indicating
that the new center position has been memorized.
