MOUNTING THE CORTEXPRO
The illustrated mounting orientation shows the factory default: connector side up and in fligth di
-
rection.
An additional 23 installation options are available and can be programmed via the software. In this
case, the correct orientation setting needs to be carried out before starting the main setup.
We recommend the use of the supplied adhesive foam tape. Use the thin tape (‚acro‘) for electric,
nitro and turbine powered models and for vertical installation. The thicker and softer tape (‚soft‘) is
recommended primarily for gasser models.
Any dirt must be removed before applying the tape so that the device does not become loose.
The model would still be flyable with a deactivated gyro, but would become uncontrollable with an
activated but loose gyro.
Also, do not tie the housing down with any straps in order not to restrict the dampening effect of
the foam tape. For the same reason, do not lie the connection cables (servos and receiver) tightly,
but in a loose loop.

NOTE
The CORTEXpro assigns the internal gyro axes to the corresponding servos automatically during
the teach-in process. The same applies to any mixer. Any functions can, therefore, be combined.
For example, ailerons can be stabilized, even if they also have an elevator function (which can
also be stabilized). In spite of this, these ailerons can still operate a (un-stabilized) flap function.
Therefore, if necessary, functions that should not, or only optionally be stabilized, can also be
passed through.
If the receiver also features individual output/servo connections alongside its serial output, any
non-stabilized channels (throttle, flaps etc.) can either remain connected directly to the receiver, or
can be passed through the CORTEXpro, by not driving the signals during teach-in.
CONTROL TEST WITHOUT GYRO
Now, all of the servos must run correctly and identically as before (without gyro assistance). Failing
this, check the assignment of the connections on the unit or of the channel assignment in the
transmitter.
( ! ) Even if the servos are running correctly, do not fly before the setup of the CORTEXpro and
gyro directional test are completed! Incorrect gyro orientation will almost certainly result in a crash!
