BEFORE EACH FLIGHT:
ｊ Always check the transmitter and receiver bat-
tery voltage to ensure they have enough remain-
ing capacity to complete the flight.
ｊ Always exit programming mode before at-
tempting to fly the model.
ｊ Only use the GY701 with a 2.4GHz system
such as the Futaba FASST system, or a PCM
system. Use with a FM system is strongly dis-
couraged since interference can cause serious
operational problems.
Gyro operating precautions:
Gyro
ｌ The GY701 requires 5-10 seconds to initial-
ize when the power is turned on. Do not move
the helicopter and do not move the tail rotor
stick during this initialization or the gyro may
not initialize properly. Once the initialization
process is complete, the tail rotor servo will
move to the left extent and then to the right
extent. This will occur twice. The indicator
light will change to solid red for AVCS Mode
or solid blue for Normal Mode.
ｊ Verify that the gyro is operating correctly.
ｊ Verify that the gyro compensates in the correct
direction before flight. If the compensation direc-
tion is incorrect the model will pirouette uncontrol-
lably, at a very high rate.
