Futaba GY701 - Manual (Page 6)

P
RECAUTIONS
ｊ When operating the gyro in AVCS Mode, all tail
rotor compensation and revolution mixing must be
disabled and any tail rotor offsets for flight modes
must be disabled.
ｊ When the GY701 is operated in AVCS mode
the tail rotor servo will not center when the stick
is released. This is normal operation for AVCS
mode. The servo may also move to the extent
while the model is being carried out to the flight
line. Before take off, you must center the tail rotor
servo by moving the tail rotor stick full left, then
full right, back to full left and then allow the stick
to center within one second. You can also visually
center the tail rotor pitch slider by using the tail
rotor stick.
ｌ Do not drop the GY701 sensor onto a hard
surface or subject the GY701 sensor to a strong
shock as this may damage the sensor.
ｊ Always use the supplied mounting pads or
the Futaba replacement mounting pads available
from your local hobby dealer.
Governor operating precautions:
Governor
ｊ Always set battery fail safe function at the
GY701. Since the GY701, when used, controls
the throttle, the battery fail safe function that is in
a receiver will not be used.
ｊ Throttle fail safe function (transmitter setting):
Use the fail safe function for the channel that
turns the governor on and off to set the fail safe
position to the point at which the governor is
turned off. With this setting, when the system en-
ters the fail safe state, the governor will be turned
off and the receiver throttle signal (fail safe posi-
tion preset) will be output directly.
