611 piro speed

[t-rex pedro]

Does anybody know the best way to increase/decrease the piro speed on the Futaba 611 gyro? Is it ATV in the transmitter or AVS on the gyro amp screen? (AVS is what the book suggests but is'nt entirely clear).

Cheers

ATVs on the rudder channel in the TX. AVS is the heading Hold gain to my knowledge. It adjusts the consistancy and feel of Heading Hold mode. It affects how much gain is released whilst pirouetting. The Futaba website recommends 85% for a nice consistant feel. You could just leave it at the default 100% value and it wont do any harm, then adjust the ATVs on the gain channel in the TX for the required gyro gain.

Whats the AVS function for on the 611 as if I increase this the piro speed is much faster.

Thanks alot Lee. Another issue sorted!!!

Yeh it might seem faster but really it will just be making the piro more consistant.

Thanks very much Lee. I wish Futaba would publish user manuals that actually made sense!!

Sorry Lee,one more question: Should I adjust the ATV on the gain channel or rudder channel? I think my gain is plugged into channel 5 for use with 9c Super.

lol yeh mate know what ya mean... anyways have a try with it next time your out. Youll notice when you change the figure that your piros will go from getting shoved around to nice and smooth. Then you just up the Rudder ATVs and youll get fast but also consistant piros

Gy611

I just got the 611 which came with no manual for some reason!! however i am familiar with the 601 and it is the same way to set it up. The TX ATV's should be set at 100% so the gyro can work correctly. The GY611 has end point adjustment built in to be adjusted so the servo cannot overtravel.
The piro speed can be adjusted also from the gyro which makes things simple. I agree that the manual is a bit lacking but with use things become more apparent.

Where is advice given on the Futaba website for gyro setup?

Can you post a link please?

Thanks.

With the gyro in 3D mode am I right in thinking the ACGA/B mode does not allow adjustment? Mine shows as 3 stars followed by a flashing percent symbol in 3D mode. Will the piro speed be proportional to stick input in F3C mode?
