DOs and DON'Ts

 

 

DOs:

 

Do mount the gyro with its axis of rotation parallel to the helicopter main shaft. 
Do mount the gyro on two of the supplied self-adhesive foam strips. 
Do mount the gyro to a hard, smooth clean surface. 
Do use the rudder ATV and rates to tailor required stick response. 
Do check the sense of the gyro operation and fit/remove Reversing link as needed before flight. 
Do use a battery state monitor and check it before each flight. 
Do remove slop and stiffness from tail control linkage. 
Do inspect tail gears etc. for wear. 
Do explore the performance limits of this gyro with care. 
 

DON'Ts:

 

Don't mount the gyro where it will be subjected to high vibration levels. 
Don't use Pilot Authority Mixing. 
Don't use ATS or Throttle-Tail mixing with the Heading Lock mode. 
Don't use unnecessarily long servo extension leads with the gyro. 
Don't use Aux3 as gain channel with JR ZPCM receivers 
Don't connect a servo extension to the "COMPUTER" port of the gyro. 
Don't move the model during gyro self-test time.
