    ElyQ Gyro Mount Installed

    Heya All,

    Received my Gyro Mount Tray today, and i must say i prefer it to sticking the Gyro right at the front or on the rear gyro plate.

    I went ahead and disconnected the sensor and then removed the sensor from the front of the gyro. I then had to remove frame brace rod that is situated just in front of the starter shaft.

    I examined the mount and it appears that they want you to drill a second hole to stop the gyro plate tilting, Me being me, i did not want to do this. So i pushed the Gyro mount in, and installed it it up really tight, and to be honest its not going anywhere! and because i pushed it in further so that the rear second sent of holes align up the actual frame supports the underneath slightly.

    Once done, i re-installed the gyro sensor and wired it up, (still need to neaten it) And after the install i had a spare frame brace rod left over.. So i put it to use and installed it below the mount using the pre-drilled servo screw holes.

    Apart from having to recess the plate more then intended, it works quite well.

    Here are some pictures:

    Having it up front certainly cleans up the wiring a bit if the servo is also in the front.

    As a matter of fact I was on the train earlier today and thinking about the gyro on one of my helis where the gyro itself is mounted quite a ways from the pivot point (main mast) and that the sensors in these gyros must be meant to operate on a twisting motion and if that's true then they should be as near to the pivot point as possible.

      I had one made from aluminum by a friends son who is an engineer for mine before elyQ brought one out. Much neater to have it up the front. Having said that I am currently selling my Competition on ebay.

                    Just out of interest... Why does the vision 50 frame have extra slots cut in the frame for another servo if it is not required? surely this weakens the frame unnecessarily?

                      The extra slots are to move the cyclic servo's into when the elyQ upgraded bell crank setup is used.
