WARNING
Verify that the gyro compensates in the cor-
rect direction before flight. If the compensation
direction is incorrect the model will pirouette
uncontrollably, at a very high rate.
Next we need to set the servo limits within the gyro
to ensure the tail rotor servo does not travel too far,
causing binding. While performing this step, simply
hold the tail rotor pushrod link onto the tail rotor
servo ball link to ensure nothing can bind and cause
damage to the servo.
Enter the “Servo Limit” setting menu on the GY701.
From the home screen press the data [+] key until
Gyro Basic is shown on the screen. Now press the
mode [+] key until “Sv.Limit” is shown on the
screen. Move the tail rotor stick slowly towards full
left and full right while listening for servo binding.
Press the data [+] or data [–] key to increase or
decrease the servo travel limit. The goal is to have
maximum throw with no binding or servo buzzing
at the end points.
Limit setting [default: 100%, setting
range: 50 150%]
WARNING
When using the GY701 for the first time, or
when making changes in the throw of a servo,
always perform the limit setting operation.
