*Make sure that the cable connection to the main body is not too tight. The excess
will account for some flexibility in the model without causing stress/wear on the
cable. Roughly 1.5 in. of cable slack is preferable for best performance.
*Please install the CGY760R/CGY755 as it is in the center (vertical direction and
horizontal direction) of the tape without cutting the attached mount pad. This tape
is designed to effectively absorb the vibration from the model.
*Clean the oil on the bottom of the CGY760R/CGY755 and the machine mounting
part with a solvent cleaner or the like.
*The CGY760R/CGY755 is also designed to be screwed to the gyro mount. For sug

gested mounting methods, please refer to page 110 of this manual.
The CGY Troubleshooting Tips
If any issues are noted during flight (such as drifting, inconsistent hold or inconsistent
control rates) then please review the following troubleshooting recommendations.
1. Always verify that the tail rotor and swash plate mechanisms operate, and that the
drive system is in proper working order.
2. Electromagnetic interference could be causing the problem. If you feel everything is
set up correctly and that the model is vibration free, then consider moving the gyro
sensor to a new location away from servos, ESC, and drive motors.
3. Vibrations will decrease the performance of all gyro systems. Even though the CGY
gyro sensor is the most vibration resistant gyro sensor available, eliminating vibra-
tions will always improve performance. The CGY gyro sensor performs best when
the sensor is mounted rigidly to the airframe. It is highly recommended to avoid us-
ing soft foam pads as this may allow the gyro to bounce around on the roll and pitch
axis, causing instabilities and possible loss of control during flight so that the roll and
pitch sensing axis are in alignment with the model. Any misalignments over 1/2 of a
degree will cause a loss in performance. Please take extra care in this step to en-
sure the optimum flight performance.
Using The CGY With An Electric Model
DANGER
It is necessary to remove the pinion gear from the electric motor or
disconnect the motor from the ESC before powering the model up for
setup or bench testing. Electric motors are extremely powerful and
capable of delivering the power instantly, causing injury to yourself,
others, or the surroundings.
