VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
One of the questions I get asked the most is about iGyro setups. In this second video, I show you how setup the iGyro manually (without the “Setup Assistant” and “Test Fly Assistant” shown in my first video) and then how to fine tune and tweak the final settings, once you have performed your first flights, or feel the need to modify any of the settings.
I hope that you find this useful, and if so remember to like, follow and comment!

hi guys so we’ve seen in our previous video how to set up an IJ row using the software included in the dual black boxes however that isn’t always quite enough personally I like to do it manually and even when you do use the software you often require some fine-tuning after that basic setup so in this video I’m going to show you the manual way of setting up that idea and specifically how to fine-tune that ijo once you’ve got that basic setup done now for anyone who hasn’t done this before I would recommend that they reviewed on previous video showing how to use the software included in the di di Rose for the basic setup and then skip straight to the second half of this video for the fine tuning however if you’re curious how it works or how to do it by all means enjoy okay so in this first step I’m going to show you how to set up the basics of the gyro manually as opposed to using the setup wizard if as I would recommend you have used the setup wizard you can skip past this part of the video onto the second half alternatively if you want to do it manually this is how okay so we go into the menu and we work our way up from the bottom of the options starting at general settings on the first page of general settings there’s nothing related to the gyro but on page 2 we have set orientation now this is because when we install the unit because you can install it facing forwards sideways or even upside down on a side we need to tell the it which way we have installed it this is important so that it knows which one of its three axes is which flight surface so whether it’s winged elevator or whether so that it knows which axis to compensate on as and when necessary so in a set orientation it’ll simply ask us to lift the tail and then twist the rudder of the plane and in doing so it will detect which of the axis have been moved and therefore knows which way the box has been installed aircraft type here we can select what type of wing the plane has be it a normal wing conventional wing or a delta wing V tail or any other combination why do we need to do this well if we set up the Delta in the transmitter the transmitter would send the appropriate signal for two servos directly to the receiver one for the left wing one for the right wing and those two servos will act as elevator and aileron now the problem with that is that the power box doesn’t know if the input is actually trying to go up or turn or both with each one of those two servos because the signal has already been mixed when we activate Delta we need to lead the transmitter always as a standard conventional wing so that the signal arrives at the receiver and then to the power box as a control input so up down left or right and then the power box is the one that would actually mix that into well Delta configuration it can then add into that Delta configuration any gyro settings or inputs that may be required at each point of the flight we then have gyro sensitivity times four which normally you wouldn’t need unless you have particularly slow servos for example in which case I would still not recommend using it until you’ve gone through the whole process and reached 100% gyro gain in the normal procedure and then and only then try the times four okay working our way up we have in cuff mapping in here in theory we’ve already put in what channels operate the ailerons the elevators the rudders etc and for the gain we would need to do one of two things we can have a gain on a slider in which case we would need to assign a slider to each channel that we want to be controlled by that or you would normally do when using the setup assistant you’ll simply have two options one is for the flight modes flight mode will be a three-way switch first mode being off second mode being gyro on and third mode being gyro on as well the two on modes are completely user programmable and they can be set to have the exact same settings or different settings whatever it is that you require and then the previous one gain assist will be a single slider which would be used in the wizard and the flight assistant for tuning the gain in flight on a single slider normally that will have your plane flying very well very quickly in a single flight however it may require some fine-tuning we shall explain an amount the other settings gears flaps bottle etc we can also program as and when required output mapping as we know simply map which servos are going to be connected where on the power box server matching as required that’s a whole nother video same as door sequencer as and when required and then finally gyro settings now this is the big one okay so here we have five options for the axis so a LAN a and B elevator a and B and rudder so each one of those is going to bring up its own settings on the screen we also have flight modes one two and three so one being off as we said to being on and three being on and the gain that we have in that particular flight mode so as soon as we flip the switch on the transmitter switcher change from flight mode one to two to three the rest of the screen will change accordingly for settings that we have set up for that axis in this case a low on a after we’ve done this flight setup wizard the gain will no longer be shown zero percent in flight modes two and three they will be showing the gain that we have inputted during the flight however this may not be completely ideal for our situation why would that be well basically because we are setting all three axes at the same time as soon as one of those axes starts oscillating we have to cut back to regain stability now on that particular axis we know that we’ve reached the maximum gain possible however on the other two axes which haven’t yet started doing that oscillation we may be able to give them a higher gain value in which case remember during your flight which axis is the one that starts oscillating where you can make a note of that and ignore that channel from now on because we know that that particular channel has been perfectly set up however the other two channels we can slowly increase the gain manually if we so wished to such a point that we can try it in a couple of different flights until we find if we are going too high and that other axis starts oscillating or if it doesn’t chances are the plane is grateful for that higher gain and we’ll be flying even nicer than it already was so we can simply change the gain values here on each one of those different axes and on flight modes 2 & 3 however we wish the game can go from 0 to 100% as we mentioned if you ever get to 100% and it still isn’t enough it still isn’t oscillating then go back into that general settings that was at the bottom previously and change your gyro sensitivity up two times for attitude assist is basically heading hold normally I would recommend turning this on because it will add in a small amount of heading heading lock into your game again this won’t fly the plane for you it won’t keep you on an absolutely perfect straight line unless you point it in the right direction however it will make the plane fly that little bit nicer a little bit more like a pattern plane it’ll fly smoother and straighter and nicer and that’s the whole point of installing this gyro in our airplane just to make it fly that little bit better direction normal this is the direction in which the gyro rectifies now remember as we said in the other video when doing the setup wizard in addition to the way that the servos control the surfaces from our transmitter and we need to make sure that up is up and down is down and if not we can reverse that on the transmitter we also need to make sure that when the plane starts rocking one way or the other because of a gust of wind for example that the server is going to rectify in the correct direction we don’t want to tap the gyro to make it worse we want to make it better so in case it rectifies in the wrong direction we would simply change direction from normal to reversed how do you check that well in the setup wizard there is a step when it will increase all gyro gains to 100% that means that you can simply move the plane around slightly and you will see the servos and therefore surfaces start moving do so and check that they’re correcting the right direction the right direction of course being that the surface must move in the same direction that you’re moving the flight surface itself so if you lift the wing the aileron must lift on that side as well if you lift the tail the elevators must go up and if you move the tail to the left the rudder should turn left as well and finally we have our speed factor a speed factor is when we are using the GPS that can come with the eye Charro which is optional but it is the only gyro on the market that has a speed sensor and this is a brilliant feature what happens is the gyro knows how fast the plane is traveling now when you’re flying very slowly you don’t have much airflow over the surfaces which me the gyro needs to correct using quite large inputs to continue giving that crisp control feel whereas when you’re flying very quickly the control surfaces are very effective and therefore only very small inputs are required now the IMO with the GPS speed sensor is the only jar on the market to take into account the speed at which you’re traveling in order to calculate how much gain your model needs so when you’re traveling quickly it will reduce how much those servos can move for the gyro making the control inputs of the gyro very very small and based smooth whereas when flying slowly it will increase those gyro gains in such a way that the regardless of the speed at which you’re flying the gyro is helping you out the airspeed factor varies from 1 to 5 and simply depending on how how fast your plane can go compared to its low speed so the speed envelope of your aircraft this number simply indicates how quickly it will drop off the gyro game so a very fast model would have a speed factor 5 because it can go from going slowly to very very quickly whereas a slower aircraft would have a slower value and there you have it this is a little screen that we’re going to be fine-tuning all of our gyro sensitivities on simply find the one that we need a looong elevator or rudder and make sure that we are making any Corrections in the correct flight mode so flight mode 1 is always zero authorities off and flight mode 2 & 3 are our actual flying gyro activated modes personally I always use flight mode 2 as settings which I have tested and know that they work and they are not excessive for the model and flight mode 3 for testing higher and higher gains in such a way that I know that if I go too high on a particular gain I can simply knock back to flight mode to with my safe gain values and then continue the flight with a gyro setting is still on before landing and rectifying that amount of gain which I’ve gone too far on in flight mode 3 ok guys so hopefully between the previous video which showed how to use the setup assistant and flight wizard and this video showing you the my new details of manual fine-tuning tweaking and even setting up entirely by hand if you so wish there’s nothing now that you can’t do with your eyes IRA I’m sure that you’ll have your plane flying brilliantly well in absolutely no time at all by all means if you have any further questions leave them in the comments below I’ll reply personally to every single one of them drummers alike if you found this helpful and especially remember to subscribe to the channel for future updates can make a nice ball for you so you can subscribe just right here I’ll take a look that’s all my other videos I’ll put them just

Hi Martin, when setting the gain slider or knob to 0, is it 0-100, or -100-0-100? Also after the setup flight does the slider or knob automatically deactivate? Thanks
Hi martin, many compliments for everything you do! I have a question, is it possible to set flight conditions, for example dual rate or exponential on surfaces controlled by mercury? my fear is to bring system into conflict! thanks if you answer my question.
Hey Martin My futaba is a 10c it does not support the subs feature My question is does the Mercury support a standard receiver
Can I use a regular receiver As my transmitter don’t support s bus
Thanks Martin.. very helpful video
Great video, and thank you for doing this. Huge resource for the community. Quick question on the gain settings. Looks like i need a different value for each elevator (L/R) in order to get the same deflection on each when i lift the tail up or down. Is that possible? Thanks
Martin thank you for all your videos !! Could you help me I can’t get any signal on my mercury srs using same r7008sb manual says output 8 must be set to subs ? Not sure I know what they means please help !!? and would you explain how to run two of them on the unit ?
Martin,
Love your videos. I was curious if you could do a test fly assistant video and go through the processes and the flight? That would be so awesome. Thanks
Gracias Martin, ya vi tu vídeo en Brasil, impresionante las instalaciones de la pista!
Martín en español por favor 🙁
Wow MP on a tutorial!??????✈️? love it!
