Safety Instructions
Congratulations on your new HG3XA gyro system for airplane
models! This manual contains important information that
will help you achieve the best user performance and control
possible. Please read the instructions contained here carefully
and in full before attempting to operate this system.
As with any Hitec product, users are asked to take special
care to observe the following reminders while operating or in
contact with their HG3XA.
· Limit the use of this HG3XA to its intended purpose and
according to the guidelines set forth in this manual.
· Accurately follow any installation and set-up guidelines.
· Confirm correct polarity when connecting the servos and
signal inputs.
· Ensure that all connected remote control components are
approved for the same voltage as your HG3XA. Excessive
voltage may cause damage to the gyro or result in further
destruction of your model.
· Ensure sufficient power input.
· NOTE: Use of a gyro system involves constant control
commands being sent to the servo. This more frequent
communication may lead to increased wear of the servos.
Please check that your servos are operating correctly on a
regular basis.
Gyro Gain: The effort by the gyro to compensate for a change
in movement along an axis. High Gain = more effort whereas
low gain = less effort.
Yaw Axis: The nose of the plane moves left and right (Rudder)
along the yaw axis.
Roll Axis: One wing moves up while other moves down
(Ailerons) along the roll axis.
Pitch Axis: The nose of the plane moves up and down
(Elevator) along the pitch axis.
Standard Mode: When the gyro is compensating for
unwanted changes in yaw, roll and pitch. i.e. if the nose of the
plane starts to pitch up, the gyro inputs down elevator.
Heading Hold Mode: Maintains the last yaw, roll and pitch
attitudes of the airplane. i.e. if the airplane is flown into knife
edge and Heading Hold is on, it will maintain knife edge.
