Rate settings on Futaba CGY 750

[sooren]

Hi everyone, Just installing the Futaba flybarless system CGY 750 in a TREX 600 and wondered what rates people are using for elevator aileron and tail for their initial settings.
Nearly done - can't wait to try it.

Not really sure what you mean about 'rates' but I've got my swash settings around 35% for aileron, elevator and swash, which gives me ~8 - 9 degrees on the cyclic and 12 degrees on collective, this gives me a roll / flip rate that I find fast enough for me.

My gains are 55% on the aileron / elevator gain and 58% on the tail, but you'res may be slightly different but these are fine for me with Radix 600 standard blades.

I've got my swash set at flight mode 3 at present but am going to give mode 4 or 5 a shot to see if it quickens the response up a little and makes it more like my TotalG'd 700 and Rave but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I'm taking all this on board, mine is due in any day.

1st you copy my hand set (FG12) and now my flybarless unit! Only joking!

Word of warning - installing the governor sensor is the job from hell. How cool will it be to set your head speeds from your handset.

Sorry, I meant gain not rates.

I have always been able to do this ever since I started using a governor, be it nitro or electric. You make this sound like some new innovation?

Hey Paul, i'm glad you are leading the way bro!!

I just love the S-Bus system, and if someone the caliber of Bobby Watts was all but ready to ditch FBL in the autumn last year having flown most of the units out there, only to asked to test this new unit by Futaba. Just watching his vids sells it to me, very good unit.

Tell me about it. On my 700 I already had a GV-1 so just used the sensor that was already there! But the V90 was a different story - I had to have a special bracket made by my mate. See the picture below.
