CSM 420 setup problems

[Ade_Law]

i use the gyro function on the 9x in auto mode so i dont waste a switch on it!

So you must plug your gyro gain lead into channel 7 (Aux 2 I think) then on the reciever?

[Ade_Law]

yes

[Steve]

I think I'll do that when I get my JR synthesised 7ch PCM receiver. They seem to be a bit hard to get hold of though at the moment.

yer they are.... like rocking horse sh$t i wanted some recently had to get the ppm ones, good though

[Steve]

I've got 6 receivers in total - a mix of 4 JR and 2 Sanwa. They're all PPM. I definately need to get into PCM now that I'm flying a 90 sized heli, and probably for all my other helis as well if the truth be known.

um

will a 9256 be ok?

[Smoothound]

It's funny I fiddled around with the Gyro screen for ages on my PCM9X with my 1st heli and could never get it to work well that way. It worked but just never right so I switched back to the gear channel and thats what I've done with all the rest.

[cypher007]

ok

the reason im asking is because later on i can use a 9256 with a 601 or 611 gyro.

[Smoothound]

9256 will only work with 601/611/CSMSL720 as far as I'm aware

[cypher007]

ok

what servo's can i use apart from the 9254, because this is too expensive.

[Disc]

9253 would work

[Smoothound]

To be honest if you feel that servo is too expensive I'd be inclined to say you are in the wrong hobby but if you can find one the SuperTec S09CL/2BB or at a push S17CLN/2BB could be used but if it were my Heli I'd rather stump up the extra £20 or so for the 9254

[3dbasher]

I'm agree with smoothhound, also he's correct about the 9256, thats what i use with my 720's.the 601 and 611 usually come with there matched servo anyway.
If you can't afford a 9253/4 save until you can you'll only end up buying one anyway once you've wasted a bit more cash finding out that the cheaper servo's don't work properly with a gyro.
May sound cockey but most of these people on here are speaking from experience.

I used to fly my Nexus with a S148 and a piezo gyro, gave me no problems with wagging etc but probably because it was not a HH gyro. I then upgraded to a CSM400 with a Hitec 5925 digital servo. Excellent torque and not bad speed (0.1/60 I think!). I think these are cheaper than Futaba (i was poor at the time - no change then!)
Anyway I now use a 401 with a 9254 which is superb although a chap i know upgraded from a 401 to a 502 with 9254 when he built his 2nd rappy 50 and commented that the 502 seemed to fly better as he started 3d flying...
