Further information for setting throttle curves can be

Touch the WIZ. button in the "Throttle curve" display

to leave the assistant and open the next menu: …

• "GYRO" (gyro/governor)

Within this display, you can make initial basic

settings as needed for your gyro and/or for any

governor that is used in your model.

GYRO

• Gryo Suppression

This option may normally not be

used for current standard gyro

systems. You therefore need to

consult your gyro setting instructions since

otherwise you may make it impossible to ﬂy

your helicopter. Nonetheless, this menu was

retained to satisfy all requirements and

conventions.

This option can inﬂuence the effect of the gyro

sensor (gyroscope) as the tail rotor control stick

is moved, assuming that a gyro system is used

• "Thr.CRV"

The throttle curve can be speciﬁed by up to 7 points,

the so-called support points, along the entire control

stick travel depending on the Quick Link:

Curve

The support points are set, changed and deleted

in the same manner as explained in the previous

section, "Pitch curve", starting on page 175. First

specify the throttle curve using three points, that

is, the two end points "L" and "H", as well as the

other set point "1" in the control center in order to

harmonize the motor performance curve with the

pitch curve.

Note:

•

The value displayed in the line "Throttle

limit" at top left only indicates the

position of the gas limiter.

• When selecting an undeﬁned point (in the basic

version of the relevant curve mixer, the points "L"

and "H" input are set), and the associated gover-

nor does not have any effect.

• The settings that appear in this display affect

the same records as those at a comparable

location in the "TRIM" display of the "THR.CRV"

submenu which is why changes always affect

each other.

in which the gyro's effect can be set by the

transmitter using an additional channel, channel 7

in the Graupner remote-control system. The gyro

suppression reduces the gyro's effect in a linear

manner in proportion to the deﬂection of the tail

rotor control stick corresponding to the set value.

If the gyro has not been suppressed (at a value of

0%), the gyro's effect remains independent of the

control stick deﬂection.

The Gyro's effect can however be additionally

varied smoothly (depending on the Quick Link

if desired) between a minimum and maximum

using a control assigned in the "Gyro" line in the

"channel set" menu, page 92, for example with

one of the proportional dials DVx. More on this

subject (not discussed here for reasons of space)

can be found in the section "Gyro/governor“ from

page 186.

• Gyro Gain

NOTE:

Note that the offset values entered in

this option as well as in the line

"CH7" of the display "CTRL CH5-12"

of the menu "D/R,EXP", page 174, add up!

For the sake of clarity, make sure to only enter

or change an offset value in one of the two

options.

Most of the current gyro systems can be adjusted

for a smooth, proportional effect, you can also

choose between two different modes of action by

the transmitter.

If the gyro that you are using also has one of

these options, the alternative offset setting

enables both the normal gyro effect and "heading

lock mode" as well as ﬂying with maximum

stabilization in normal, slow ﬁghts within this

selected mode, and reducing the gyro gain in fast

roundtrips and aerobatics.

Values up to ±125% are possible, for example:
