Gyro

[daywalker]

Hi guys have got meself a Belt CP and i have a problem i think ?. When i connect up the battery the gyro light twinkles then just flashes instead of going out is something im doing wrong ?.

[Dan1982]

I’m not too sure as I don’t have one, but if you have any sub trim that would cause it and on most gyros the light stays on till you put an input from the transmitter.

what gyro is it??

[daywalker]

its an esky ek2-0704 also when i move the stick to control the rudder it doesnt react in other words the servo doesnt move?.

[Dan1982]

Well something is wrong, if it is new take it back. I wish I could help more but I know nothing about them.

To concur with Dan, last I heard the Esky gyros all required the rudder trim to be centered before the gyro will initialize.

Just found this hope helps.

Operating Instruction:
First of all, please make sure that your transmitter is 6 CH or 4 CH, then refer to the
following adjust process.

For 4ch transmitter (Unique head Locked Function) adjustment:

When getting the Gyro (EK2-0704A), please connect the 3 pin wire directly to the 4
CH of receiver, and the gain must be connect with the negative pole of the power
supply. Please remember not to move or shake the Gyro (EK2-0704A) when the light
turns red to blue after when the transmitter and receiver power on. If not, it will
influence the enactment of the neutral point. At the same time the helicopter will
enter the state of being locked. Users can modulate the Gain Value by Gyro VR
according your helicopter need.

Before helicopter flying, if the SV always leads to one side when the transmitter has
locked; please adjust the trim of CH (left/right) on the transmitter until the SV works
correctly.

When flying, if the locked helicopter still slants tone side after all the above correct
adjustment, please adjust the tail servo rod of the helicopter. And continued the
adjustment until the helicopter mechanical structure exists in balance---hovering
flight.

For 6 CH transmitter adjustment:

When getting the Gyro (EK2-0704A), please connect the 3 pin wire and Gain wire to
the left/right CH of receiver and Gyro CH. Please remember not to move or shake the
Gyro (EK2-0704A) when the light turns red to blue after both of the transmitter and
receiver power on, if not, it will influence the enactment of the neutral point.

Before helicopter flying, if the SV always leads to one side when the transmitter has
locked, please adjust the trim of CH (left/right) on the transmitter until the SV doesn't
offset whenever it is locked or not. Please adjust the tail servo rod of the helicopter.
And continued the adjustment until the helicopter mechanical structure exists in
balance---Hovering flight.

After all of the above correct adjustment, now the EK2-0704A will show all of its
excellent characteristics.

Dan

Sussed it some-how i mut have moved the rudder trim off centre, moved it to centre the connected battery and now all is fine. Managed a quick hover a foot of the ground (good for me as ive only had a few weeks experience !) couldnt get that far with a Walkera 60b i had (it was rubbish so sold it)

Many Thanx

Alan
