2. INSTALLATION, CONNECTIONS
The iGyro™3xtra can be installed in any position in the model - provided that it is parallel to or at
right-angles (90°) to the direction of ight. The result of installing it at an angle would be mixed
corrective effect. For example: a gust affecting the aileron axis might cause the gyro to correct the
elevator and rudder at the same time.
Mount the iGyro on a clean, smooth surface, then connect it to the receiver using the patch leads
supplied. The iGyro has two aileron inputs, two elevator inputs and one rudder input.
The Gain input is absolutely essential if the iGyro is to function correctly, and you need to set up
a rotary control or slider (up to +/- 200% ) at the transmitter for this. Once you have established
the correct settings during a set-up ight, the percentage values for this transmitter control can be
programmed permanently onto a switch, enabling you to activate or disable the iGyro, or select a
second mode.
The following wiring diagrams should be observed if you are using a delta / V-tail model; note that
it is also possible to control model deltas with four control surfaces:
Delta A: connect the two pairs of control surfaces to Aile-A and Elev-A
Delta B: connect the two pairs of control surfaces to Aile-B and Elev-B
V-tail: connect the two pairs of control surfaces to Elev-A and Rudder
Delta – vector models: Delta A as described above; Elev-B can be used for the vector.
The mixing arrangements for the delta and V-tail functions are set at the transmitter in the normal
way. You don’t need to worry about differential or unequal travels, as the 3D algorithm detects this,
and ensures that the axis inputs are separated again without error.
