6.2 Cabling
Use double-sided adhesive tape to mount the gyro system
MULTIGyro G3 in the aircraft. Make sure the gyro system is
firmly attached at the following points:
· Attachment near the centre of gravity of your model.
· Make sure the long side of the gyro is parallel to the roll axis
of the aircraft, i.e. in the direction of forward flight (Fig. 1).
· Horizontally level MultiGyro G3 corresponding to the roll axis
of the aircraft (Fig. 2).

· Make sure your model has been assembled correctly prior
to use.
· Read this manual carefully prior to start-up and install your
MULTIGyro G3 step-by-step following all the instructions in
this manual.
· Reset the middle position of the gyro system after installing
the gyro, replacing your remote control system or re-
adjusting the trimming (sub-trim) within the transmitter. The
servos will otherwise change automatically to the Heading
hold mode. To do so, toggle the 3-way switch on your remote
control system twice between Standard and Heading hold
mode within one second. The blue LED flashes rapidly for
approx. one second during this process. Once the middle
adjustment has been saved, the blue LED starts to flash
again.
· The gyro system MULTIGyro G3 contains mixing functions
for flying wing and delta wing aircraft as well as aircraft with
a V-tail. If one of these mixing functions (aircraft types) is
selected at the gyro, neither a V-tail nor a delta wing mixer
can be activated or used at the transmitter.
· The blue and red LEDs flash rapidly for three seconds after
switching on the gyro system. Do not move your model during
this period and wait until initialisation has been completed.
Once you have installed MULTIGyro G3, connect the channels
of the aileron, elevator and rudder from the receiver and the
3-position switch function to the upper row of pins marked "IN".
Now connect the servos to the lower the row of pins marked
"OUT".
For pin assignment, please refer to Chapter 2.
The gas servo or the flight control system is usually
connected to the gas channel of the receiver, there is
no connection to MULTIGyro G3!

You can also choose to control just one aileron servo
via MultiGyro G3 and to connect the second one directly
to your receiver as normal. You can still secure a potential
aileron differentiation. The gyro effect around the pitch
axis is usually still sufficient.
