EK2-0704B HH Gyro
Has anybody upgraded their Belt CP to this?
First time trying to set up a gyro, and I eventually found this new upgrade from Esky is not fully compatible with the EK2-0406A transmitter! It needs a transmitter with remote gain adjustment to work in rate mode
(Not yet set up my DX6i with this heli - still using it for the sim at the moment as the Esky tx still works well and I've got used to it).
Anyway, I finally got it sorted, but have a couple of questions:
Even with the limit control at zero it looks to be still binding the tail servo when I give rudder input (with the motor not running). Is there anything else I can do to alter this, or is this just because the gyro is still trying to get to the new heading as I'm not turning the heli when I'm watching what's happening?
It now hovers hands off beautifully, but there is a very slight drift to the right which I can't get rid of, (only about 1 or 2 degrees per second). The heli is set up mechanically as good as I can get it. This drift seems to get better as the gyro warms up. Is this just because the gyro's cheap and is showing its limitations, or is there something I'm missing?
Large rudder inputs give very rapid response and a very good rate of turn, but there is an annoying wobble (only slight, and one oscillation only) when the stick is centred rapidly. It's as if the gyro is struggling to keep up and working too hard. I can't seem to dial it out with delay. Again, is this a limitation of the gyro, (or tx)?
Can anyone help please?
