ADVANCED SETTINGS 

Stick Deadband 

The stick dead band is the range around the very center of the sticks at where the gyro will not react. 
Some transmitters have the problem that when the sticks are brought back after an input, they are not 
exactly  at  the  same  center  position  as  before  which  may  generate  a  deviation  on  the  corresponding 
function, in this condition, you can increase the setting of stick dead band to fix it. The adjustment range 
of the dead band is 0% to 20%, the default 5% is fit for most radios without modification. 

Servo Frequency 

Set the working frequency for the servos. The analog servos can only work with 50Hz, a high frequency 
may cause damage of the servos. Check the servo specifications before increasing the setting, if you 
don’t know what the maximum update rate that is tolerated by your servos never use more than 50Hz. In 
theory, the higher the working frequency of the servos the better performance of the gyro can be obtained, 
but it may increase the power consumption and cause heating of the servos. This setting will affect all 
output channels including AUX1 and AUX2. 

Gain Level 

Change the level of the basic gain, the default “Medium” is fit for most airplanes. 

Control Behavior 

After  installing  the  gyro,  the  airplane  will  become  more  stable  but  less  responsive  because  of  the 
correction of the gyro. To improve we need to reduce the correction strength of the gyro on the desired 
direction dynamically when there is an input of the sticks. This function allows you to change the control 
behavior by choosing different curves of the gain attenuation. 

Gyro Digital Filter 

This function is used to setup the cut-off frequency of the hardware low pass filter of the gyro. Reducing 
the frequency can significantly reduce the interference of the vibration from the fuselage. By testing, the 
default setting DLPF_20Hz is fit for most electric airplanes. Appropriately decrease it when the vibration 
is strong, it is recommended to choose DLPF_5Hz when using the gyro on a nitro or gasoline airplane. 
Please note that a high cut-off frequency setting may increase the power consumption and cause heating 
of the servos.
