this is powerbox systems igyro srs if we turn it over we can see exactly how to connect it up if using jr or spectrum you will plug the satellites into satellites one two and three as opposed to directly into the power box your full satellite can still go into the power box as normal bus one and two are for all of the non-satellite receiver systems such as the futaba 2.4 so we will plug receivers one and two into these two slots if using the gps sensor this would plug into the gps socket and on the opposite side of the of the i gyro we have five exits which are marked as rudder two for elevator and two for aileron you can use all five of them to connect the igyro to your powerbox unit if using a patch system via five patch leads or if using the serial receiver system the s bus you’d simply connect one receiver to the rudder and if using a second receiver it would be to elevator b the igro will then automatically once programmed extract all necessary channels from the receiver via the serial receiver system okay so plugging it in let’s see exactly how that would be when using the s bus or serial receiver system here we have our competition srs protein as normal via the s bus to the receiver for this example there’s only one connected but normally you would have two to connect it to the igyro we would disconnect the receiver and instead plug the receiver directly into the i gyro by means of the included patch lead so plug this into the s bus exit and into the bus one that is the first receiver into our eye gyro and to connect it all to the power box we simply connect via the included lead again to the rudder exit as we said if we’re using patch leads we would connect all five or in the case of using srs the first one goes into rudder and the second goes into elevator and here we go one i gyro connectly connected up to use the eye gyro we need one free channel on transmitter this is the one that we’re going to use to turn the itaro on and off for the first few flights with the i gyro in which we programmed the amount of gain that we want for each channel we’ll need either one or two additional channels simply so we can adjust the amount of gain in flight however once we’ve finished programming the game we can use these channels for any other purpose such as smoke or lights or whatever if you really are that limited on channels you can also simply adjust the gain manually in the eye gyro as opposed to in flight simply adding on five or ten more points of gain flying turning the gyro on seeing if it’s enough and then turning it back off again if it’s too much in my case i’m using this switch to turn the igro on and off so this would be position for flight mode 1 which is gyro off flight mode 2 which is gyro on and flight mode 3 which again is gyro on no different to flight mode 2 except you can have two different gain settings depending on the type of flying that you’re about to do the main recommendation by power box for this is to use flight mode 2 for the whole flight and use normal gain on all three surfaces alone elevator and weather and heading gain on a1 and elevator and then simply duplicate those exact same values but with the addition of heading gain on the rudder for flight mode 3 simply switching to flight mode 3 if we’re going to do a roll or a knife edge and we want that little bit of extra support by the gyro to set up that channel has been very simple all i’ve had to do is go into linkage menu function and assign a free channel in my case i’ve used channel 9 to the sc switch so we’ve gone into control and selected the switch sc now as we were saying to adjust the gain in flight we need to assign a channel to a trim switch or a roller switch on the transmitter so we can adjust it in flight so again very simply in linkage menu function go to a free channel in my case channel 10 and i want to use the trim t6 so we’ve selected control t6 and i put it with eight steps so that it’s a little bit faster than normal as i have enough three channels on my transmitter i’m going to use t5 to adjust the heading gain as well if we didn’t have enough channels we would simply use the first one to adjust the normal game and then in the following flight the heading game so just to see in a slightly more visual manner what we’ve done i’ve assigned switch sc to my channel number nine which is the one that switches between the flight modes so shower off one so in channel nine when i move this the gyro setting will go from minus 100 to zero to plus a hundred and the trims we’ve assigned t6 to channel number 10 for our normal heading and t5 to channel 11 for our heading game that’s all the programming that we need to do in the transmitter adjusting the amount of gain that we want on our model sounds quite daunting or difficult even fortunately that isn’t the case all we need to do is turn our gyro on with the trim setting so that the gyro is actually still basically off as they have zero gain and as we start flying what we want to do is increase the amount of gain as we do this the model will get more stable now the trick is we want to keep giving gain until the model starts to wobble slightly at that time we simply take a few clicks of trim back until it stops and that is our perfect gain setting because we have enough to make the model keep its trajectory in a perfectly steady manner while also not having too much the plane will give us that horrible wobble that we automatically think of when we think of gyros the same applies to both normal gain and also heading gain the i gyro comes with two different types of gain settings the first one is what they call normal gain this is what you would use to correct any kind of wind turbulence so basically if the wind makes the model jitter slightly or drop a wing or lift wing or even drop completely slightly the eye gyro with normal gain will keep it in a straight line the heading gain on the other hand is one that simply helps us keep a slightly more crisp trajectory basically it helps us keep that straight line an exaggerated example of this would be if we have enough heading gain on the rudder when we go to knife edge the gyro would want to correct in such a way that the plane would continue in that trajectory so we wouldn’t need to use any other input even though this sounds like something to play with on 3d models this can be very helpful scale models just to keep that straight trajectory as opposed to the tail wobbles or deviations that they can sometimes have programming the igrow when we turn the model on the igra comes on with it and we’ll display the current temperature the flight mode that we’re in being what position our gyro switch is on on our transmitter so flight mode one is gyro off flight mode two is gyro on and so is flight mode three both flight modes two and three are completely freely programmable so we can program them both to be either identical if we so wish or with different game settings for each one of them simply depending on our flying style and the model that we’re using gps that currently states that it’s searching that’ll be because we’re inside a building but outside of the flying field within 10-15 seconds it will state that the gps is logged in therefore is correctly connected to a satellite sensor is in motion at the moment the model isn’t perfectly stable as it’s on my workbench so it’s currently saying that the sensors are in motion albeit very slightly to program the igro we connect the supplied switch into the socket on the igro as we have done here and with the three buttons on the switch we simply operate the igr as we wish aesthetically it’s the exact same switch as used in the power box units both for turning off and on and on the newer versions also for programming it works in the exact same way as those programming switches do so set is the button that we use to enter to accept a position or command and the buttons one and two are simply used to go up and down in this case it doesn’t actually turn the model off or on at all so we press the set button once to access the menu and basically when setting up we want to start at the bottom and go up so starting at the bottom we have receiver settings here we indicate what type of receiver system we’re using be it the dsm 2 or x system as used by jr or spectrum m link for multiplex s bus for futaba or the jetty or hot systems in my case as i’m using futaba we have the s bus selected now in the bottom right hand corner we have digital out which can be either on or off what this means is whether we are using the power box unit that the receiver signal is received via the serial receiver system or the standard patch lead power box units in the case of a patch lead this will need to be in the off position as it’s using analog signal whereas if we’re using the srs system the s bus it would need to be on the on position and simply confirm with ok going up we have general settings here we have to indicate which way the ijabo is installed in our model due to being able to install the gyro on its back on its side or pretty much in any 90 degree position inside the model we have to tell the igro which way up or down it is this is quite simply done by telling which way the screen is facing and the switch connector is facing so the screen can face either up or down left and right or back to front now in our case it is facing up so we want the option up down the switch socket which is this one the one that we’re programming with is exactly the same we currently have it facing the front of the model so we want to select the option back front if it was any other option same as above it would be a case of selecting left right or up down interestingly the igro actually performs all necessary mixes for both delta wing and retail completely on its own so in our transmitter we would actually have the model set up as a normal configuration airplane as opposed to delta or retail again confirm with ok continuing up input mapping here we have the channels that our control surfaces are connected to basically we want to make sure that these coincide exactly with the ones we have on the power box unit as obviously we want any alum corrections to take place on our aliens not on our elevators interestingly this isn’t actually as difficult as it looks we can simply copy the adjustments from our power box unit from our transmitter or even by simply moving that particular control on our transmitter the eye java will automatically detect which channel we’re moving so if i now move the elevator it selects five and if i move the rudder it automatically selects two so rudder being channel two we accept and can go on to the next screen this screen allows us to tell the igro which channel on our transmitter we are using to adjust the gain for each one of the control inputs so to adjust the normal gain on the alien for example i’m using channel 10 on my transmitter which i have adjusted to a trim switch so when i move that it automatically detects channel 10 perfect obviously as we want both aliens to correct the same we will simply adjust them both to the same channel now for heading gain if we want and we have enough channels free on the transmitter we can also adjust the heading gain using the exact same method in the same flight we would simply adjust to another channel such as in my case i’ve used channel 11 or if not we’ll simply leave it to 0 which would be off and we could do it on a subsequent flight with the setting as it is now with two different channels i could completely program both types of gain for the ailons in one simple short flight once i’m finished i’ll come back in here and put them all back to zero so i can’t make a mess of my setup going on to the next screen we have the exact same setup but for the elevator all set to zero so we can’t adjust them not until we finish programming the a-ones and again the same screen for the rudder again set to zero so we can’t adjust it i’ve started with the ailerons if you purely want to use this gyro for say the elevator there’s no need to use it on the ailerons simply leave these settings to zero so you don’t adjust them to start with and don’t give them any gain and only set up the channels that you want to use the gyro on so if you only want to use the elevator only use the previous screen to set up the trims for the elevator so you can adjust the gain for the elevators and on the final screen in this menu we have the flight mode switch this is the channel that we are using to tell the gyro when to turn off or to flight mode two or three so basically turning it off and on continuing up we have airspeed settings really this screen is only for information purposes but it’s always fun to know how fast we’ve been so in this case we’ve been able to do 282 kilometers an hour gyro settings in this menu we can see exactly what gyro settings we have for each channel on each position of our flight mode switch so here we can see that in the axis l1a in flight mode one which would be the off position the normal gain is set to zero and the heading again is set to zero zero obviously because the gyro is off if i flip the transmitter switch to flight mode 2 so javo on for this example we have a normal gain of 91 percent that’s way higher than you would normally use and heading gain of 28 now if i actually adjust the trims that we moved earlier on the transmitter adjusting the normal gain we can see this move as we adjusted with the transmitter and the exact same thing for the game heading if i move the trim slightly it adjusts the percentage direction this is very very important you need to make sure that any corrections made by the gyro correct in the right direction to make sure the gyro is working in the right direction we want to give full gain and test with the java off but it doesn’t move and then when it does move on but it moves in the right direction so the nose would be wanting to go down so we need to give up elevator and the same for all surfaces and then obviously before flying reduce that gain back to zero to start with if it corrects in the wrong direction simply use this option to reverse the direction that the gyro corrects in air speed factor this setting allows you to adjust the gyro sensitivity at high speed depending on the type of model you’re using normally this comes set to number two which for pretty much all models should be sufficient if you’re using a very very fast model you can increase this what this basically does is at high speed it helps reduce even further the amount of gain that you have so you don’t get any of that horrible twitching at high speed and that’s it programmed once we’re at the side and have the model fully put together we also want to zero the gyro what this does is it makes it learn the current position and knows that that is completely zeroed that would be the neutral position and there we go time to go fly with our new igyro to exit the menu we simply scroll down and it exits
