anced. If problems persist, try mounting the
gyro in a different location.

platform, at least 6in [152mm] away from a Ni-

near the main shaft of the helicopter but it is very
important that the mounting area chosen is rigid.

structions for recommended mounting locations.

The GY701 is supplied with three 2mm Mounting
Pads. When mounting the gyro in a larger electric
