Like other CSM gyros, your SL560 gyro incorporates advanced
features not found in other makes of gyro. Please read this
manual fully before installing and flying.
Radio System requirements
The wiring of this gyro is compatible with JR, Futaba, Hi-Tec, Graupner,
Robbe and the current style blue plug Sanwa/Airtronics radio systems. To
use this unit with other makes of radio please check with the service centre
in your country or e-mail the CSM service centre ([email protected]) The
gyro requires an auxiliary channel with travel adjustments to control the
gyro mode/gain. It cannot be used with basic RC systems that lack such a
channel. We recommend that you use an RC system that also provides
travel adjustment on the rudder channel. Most current production computer
RC transmitters have these facilities.
Servo choice
Servo speed
Optimum performance from the SL560 is obtained when it is used in
conjunction with a high speed Super Servo or Digital Servo (0.1 seconds/60
degrees or less). Use with slower servos will significantly reduce gyro
performance.
Super Servos
The term super servo is used to describe servos capable of running at high
data frame rates (250 frames/second or more). Examples of this type of
servo are Airtronics 94757, JR 8700G and Futaba S9253. The use of super
servos with the SL560 is highly recommended as they allow the gyro to
fully exploit its fast response. When used with this type of servo the "Super
Servo" support of the SL560 should be activated. This can be done during
the Quick-setup routine (but may also be accessed via the PC interface if
desired).
Warning: Use of the Super Servo facility with servos not designed to
accept the high frame rate will result in damage to the servo and may
cause malfunction in flight.
The Quick-setup routine runs the servo in standard mode so it is always
possible to access this routine with a standard servo even when the gyro has
Super Servo support on.
