Powerbox-Systems iGyro 3e Tutorial overview

Beschreibung zum Video:
Video showing what a gyro does, and how to install then program the Powerbox-Systems iGyro 3e, three axis gyro stabilization.

A Gyro is used in an airplane to help reduce the effects of wind on a windy day, or an inherant fault in a models flying (such as fish tailing)

A Gyro will NOT fly the plane for you, or be any significant help while flying any type of acrobatic manouver, this will continue to be down to the pilot at the sticks.

The result of the Gyro is simply as if flying without wind. In fact, if flying on a perfectly calm day, the gyro will not perform any corrections at all, and you wont feel any difference with or without.

This Powerbox-Systems iGyro 3e is a 3 axis gyro, so can help control Ailerons, Elevator and Rudder.

It simply sits in between the receiver and each servo, and is controlled through a free channel on your transmitter.

hi guys here’s a quick overview of the powerbox systems IG gyro 3E and how it works let’s start by explaining what the gyro actually does does it fly the plane for you no sadly not does it make the plane knife edge or hover hands off no is it an autopilot well no a gyro acts like the suspension on a car it just gets rid of the those bumps in the road or in our case the bumps in the air caused by the external influences such as wind or thermals the objective is therefore simply to make the plane fly as smooth and as consistently as it does first thing in the morning when we go to the field and there’s absolutely no wind you increase or decrease the gain until the model is perfectly stable even in windy conditions the gain is how much throw on on each surface the gyro can use to rectify those unwanted wobbles specifically when the gyro detects that the plane is being thrown off its path and it wasn’t you that asked it to do that I.E the pilot it was therefore an undesirable movement there wasn’t a stick input therefore the plane did it on its own the gyro is therefore going to counter it so as it continues on its path all this is done blisteringly quick and once set up correctly it feels like you’re flying on a perfectly calm day even though you’re not onto the gyro itself Power boox Systems have three different Gyros on offer the I gyro SRS is designed to work with sbus receivers or satellites it’s their top end gyro and it can be used either directly on servos or on a powerbox unit it’s a three AIS gyro so it can control independently alon’s elevator and Rudder an advantage of this top-of-the-line II osrs is that it can be used with the powerbox systems GPS sensor which allows you to increase or decrease the gain automatically depending on the speed of the model the igyro 1 e is a single Channel very simple very small and compact version of the 3E that we’re going to be showing in this video this 3E is a very simple again I gyro which goes in between the receiver and the servos you can reverse each Channel individually by pressing the single button on the gyro and the gain itself is adjusted through a channel on your radio that’s all there is to it installing the gyro as mentioned the 3E is a very simple and little gyro to install it simply is located in between the receiver and the servo for each of the channels that you want the gyro to control you’ll need to add one extra patch lead wire in between the gyro and the receiver which will control how much gain is used plug this into a spare channel on your receiver uh and have that channel controlled by a slider a trim or a knob that’s it that’s the mechanical installation done simple now the next step is to advise the three what position it’s actually in whether it’s on its side on its back on its front facing forwards backwards Etc as this will affect which of the three Gyros inside of the gyro will actually control each of the axis to do this we need to plug the igro 3E into a computer through the USB lead or you can now use the app on your phone through the bluecom adapter once connected to the computer or your phone simply click and point onto the picture which best describes how your gyro is installed now all that’s left to do before going flying is to make sure that the gyro is correcting each one of the surfaces in the right direction this is very important as obviously if it tries to rectify in the opposite direction all it’s going to do is make the roll make the model roll Loop or stall the gain channel that we’ve set up in our radio is gyro off at the center and whichever way we move that off center will activate either the normal gain which instantly rectifies any external influences or in the opposite direction normal and heading gain this does the same as the the previous version normal game but will also try and help you keep your path so it will actually hold in that control input a little bit longer for you to try and keep you going in that straight line to test the direction of all the servos move the slider onto full normal and heading gain and then simply move the model about the surface should move in the same direction that you’re moving it so if you lift the wing the Alon should go up if you lift the tail the elevator should go up and if you move the tail of the model to the right the mudder should move right also if any corrections by the gyro need reversing this is done by the button on the I gyro itself we simply hold that button down for more than 5 Seconds you’ll see all the lights go out on the gyro and then just one will light back up again if that’s the channel that you want to reverse simply press the button briefly and you’ll see the lead change color that channel has now been reversed if you need to reverse any other channels press and hold the button in until the single lead that was lit up moves up or down until it reaches your desired Channel and then repeat the previous process turn the model off turn the model on again check again that all of the gyro Corrections are correcting in the right direction and you’re good to go start off with the gain slider on your radio set to zero fly and trim the plane with the gyro off and then once the plane is flying stable and set up and trimmed then move the SL slider slowly in One Direction ever increasing thus the gyro sensitivity until you’re happy with how stable the model is for the conditions that you’re flying in if the model starts wobbling or oscillating normally when flying fast that’s because you have gone too far you’ve got too much gain and you need to reduce the setting slightly to do so once it starts wobbling or oscillating reduce power and pull up as soon as you do this you’re going to lose some air speed and therefore it’s going to stop wobbling once it stopped wobbling you can calmly reduce the slide it back down again just a point or two just so it doesn’t start oscillating or wobbling when flying fast you can also fine-tune each of the channels individually from your PC or app on your phone if you feel that one axis needs more gyro rectification than others so you don’t need to have all three of them linked to each other you can have more Aon gain more elevator gain or no R gain whatever your model requires I’ve been Martin Pickering I hope you found this video helpful and wish you every success with your igro 3E by Power boox Systems good luck and fly low for
