Optional Heading Lock Gyro Installation and Setup
A.unique.feature.of.the.Blade™.CP.Pro.is.that.it.allows.you.to.install.an.optional.“Heading.Lock”.type.gyro.to.
further.enhance.the.holding.performance.and.response.of.the.tail,.without.the.need.for.difficult.modifications.or.an.
alternative.radio.system ..While.the.stock.“Standard.Rate”.type.gyro.contained.in.the.3-in-1.control.unit.performs.
well.for.many.types.of.flying,.a.heading.lock.gyro.offers.superior.tail.holding.power.that.helps.to.maintain.heading.
throughout.even.the.most.aggressive.aerobatic.maneuvers .
When.installing.a.heading.lock.type.gyro,.we.recommend.the.E-flite
®
.G90.Sub-Micro.Heading.Lock.gyro.
(EFLRG90HL) ..The.G90.gyro.weighs.only.9 .0.grams.( .32.oz),.and.features.a.very.small.footprint.that.makes.
mounting.it.on.the.gyro.mounting.plate.quick.and.easy ..It.also.offers.the.ability.to.control.the.gain.setting.(in.either.
Standard.Rate.or.Heading.Lock.modes).remotely.from.the.Blade.CP.Pro’s.included.transmitter.by.using.the.5th.
channel,.and.is.an.excellent.choice.when.looking.for.the.best.in.tail.and.heading.lock.performance .
Note: The following steps outline the installation and setup of the G90 gyro, but can also be used as
reference for many other heading lock type gyros. However, we do recommend that you review the
manual included with your chosen gyro first before proceeding with installation and setup of the gyro
in your Blade CP Pro.

included.“Mounting.Accessories.&.Wrench”.package).on.the.gyro.mounting.plate.found.just.behind.the.rear.
servos ..Be.sure.to.orient.the.gyro.so.that.you.can.easily.access.the.gain.setting.adjustment.pot.(if.not.using.the.
