Quest for Gyro understanding

[cambs flyer]

While layed up right now, with my Lappy perched on my belly I've been on my constant journey to learn more about our flying machines

I found this article about Gyro's most interesting and easy to read, so I thought I'd share it here.

Interesting article, I was wondering how the delay should be used, now I know. I might have to try it out on yours now Wayne.

Thanks Gary.

I'm not sure but I think I heard somewhere as the 3153 is a digital servo the delay hasn't any bearing, however looks who's talking, lol

Cheers mate.

Not all digital servo's are equal and from what I read about the delay, and what I saw when flying, I think it is worthy trying a small amount of delay.
The response of a 3135 is much slower than a JR8900G, so a little delay may just help to stop any oscillations when stopping a ptro without having to reduce the gain to achieve this.

That's my guess but it's easy to test anyway.

Thanks Gary, as I say mate, what do I know.

Many thanks for your continuing efforts.

Quick thread hijack on!
From the article:
• Exponential: +30%
This compensates for the non-linear pushrod movement that occurs due to the circular path of the servo arm. It will bring the pushrod movement closer to linear with respect to rudder stick movement. Some advanced pilots prefer the feel of no exponential on the tail.

I know what people use expo for but this guy explains it the way it was explained to me.

That was a good read. Thanks for that Wayne.
