I can't realy beleave the single connector for Aileron.
I'm using different mixers in my TX ea. Aileron and flaps etc.
It will not help my to use a V-mixer because all other mixing an my glider ist obsolet then.
Why does the Gyro dont have 2 Outputs?
Overall a single Aileron Airplane does not make my nervos while starting or landing.

Hi,
I can understand how this would work for AILERON with a Y-cable for 2 servos.
But what if you want to use L and R ailerons on separate channels? (for flaperon/spoileron ability).
Please clarify if this can be used if one uses 2 separate channels for L & R ailerons.

Oh... not possible without using a mixer between the gyro and the aile servos. Nevermind then.

Hi I set one on my plane and connected it to the ailerons it works find but I am not able to switch the Gyro off. I am using Futuba T7C and connected the single pin to the middle pin of Channel 5 (Landing Gear). I set the switch G (to turn it on and off) but nothing happens and the Gyro is always on- when I put a servo on the same channel it seems the switch works fine and the servo arm travels according. Please help...

Hi everybody -I found my answer by reading others comments carefully the pin should not be connected to the middle pin the right pin on Futuba Rx is White and as recommended above - happy flying

I bought two TG380.
One of them turns off as expected. (green LED remains on, but movement stops)
The other one cannot be turned off.
I am connecting the single pin to the signal pin of my AUX1 channel of my AR6110.

I am reading mixed reviews here..I have tried it on pitch and roll with 2 units on a Y joint to turn it off and on, I have been testing it for 2 weeks, the response is pretty ***r even playing with the gain..too much gain actually changed the control surface trim??? This is the same result with 2 other club members. There is NO WAY u can use this to stabilize your plane like an autopilot.
It will come good after 3 -4 seconds..too late..crash$##&^
Can any of u guys who has tested it successfully tell me what servos are u using..how fast????

I would buy this if the shipping weight was less 79grams for somthing that is only 4.8grams, it must come in a box like corona syn 4ch rx's you could fit more than 5 in 1 box, it would be great if packaging was made smaller like the HK450 heli
Thanks hobbyking

This is the cheapest gyro around, you should get it thou.
Better to shop with another items to save shipping.
Thanks.

I bought this gyro 3 pcs.
Seem havent find a right way to installed it in my coaxial (I installed it cable to the front but led face left), seem a post noted that it dont cooperate well with mixer.
Installed it perfectly in my limbo plane's rudder thou* same as the heli I installed it cable to the front but led face left (I hope I am not installed it wrongly) but I test it first by turning the plane left and the rudder move right and vice versa.
TEst once in a very windy shore and the plane flew straight.
Need comments, guyz! Thanks ALL & HC.

Does the Turnigy TG-380 Gyro have a reverse switch?

No, you reverse it by flipping it over

Neutral point of control surface change modifing tha gain exactly as Yosemite wrote:
"I noticed when I change the gain on the gyro, it actually moves the surfaces, i.e., it changes the trim. The more gain there is, the more the surfaces become off"
Someone could show us how fix the neutral point switching on/off the gyro?
Thanks

Some people seem to use one gyro on the ailerons even using two different channels for left and right wing. How do you to that? Do correct just one aileron for stabilisation?

You connect the receiver to gyro, and gyro is connected to mixer (v-tail, elevon flying mixer) and aileron hooked in to mixer.

I tried to hook the wires as i said earlier and i get weird jitter on one servo and the other works fine, no matter if you change servos/channel the jitters continue. It has something to do with the gyros abilities to deal signal to mixer and there to servos. I quess you have to use 2 gyros for 2 servos in ailerons. I tried to reverse channels, add/remove mixes from radio but nothing seemed to help. Need to explore if someone has done it some other way..

Is it possible to use three of these gyro's for a three axis control on a vtol aircraft if setup correctly?
|

|

Reply: |
FreeStyle07 (205 points);
yes of course. Every axes is independant from the other if you place the gyro exactly in a particular axes

I bought two of these as well as a GWS V-Tail Mixer II to stabilize the pitch and roll of my elevon delta wing FunJet.
Setup:
-Multiplex FunJet
-Spektrum DX5e / AR500
-Turnigy TG380 gyros
-GWS V-Tail Mixer II
Having trouble getting this mixer to co-operate with the gyros, disabled on-board mixing, when pulling down on the stick the elevons work correctly but pushing up on the stick causes the elevons to move erratically. Same problem when moving the stick left-right moving left the elevons perform normally but moving the stick right causes them to move all over the place.
Someone commented in the reviews of the GWS Mixer that gyros might introduce signal delay which confuses the mixer but I am unsure as to how to correct this problem.
Without gyros the mixer works perfectly. Also with only one gyro (either pitch or roll) it works perfectly, just not with both.
Anybody with any suggestions?

If you have Futaba PCM you might need a Digital Servo Buffer from FMA Part Number: 505SB

I noticed when I change the gain on the gyro, it actually moves the surfaces, i.e., it changes the trim. The more gain there is, the more the surfaces become off. This causes a problem because if I try to turn the gyro on and off in mid-air, the trim is changed, sometimes drastically* obviously not a good thing.
Can someone tell me their thoughts on this? Is there a way to fix this problem?

Hi Yosemite. I ordered 2 of them, and one did the same thing you've just mentioned. I think it's faulty - the other one doesn't change the trim at all. Think you should send it back for replacement, or just order another one.

Can I use this also on my airplanes rudder to control yaw especialy during takeof and landing with a taildragger?

Sure. just mount it so that it responds to yaw.

Does anybody knows this Gyro has AVCS system like a Futaba GYA350 ?
And is it available mounted on ailerons, elevators and rudders ?

Ludde (3 points);
This is not a ACVS gyro, just rate,, ie. it will not retunr to compass heading, it will just stop unwanted movment, you can mount it on any control surface.

Thank you very much, Ludde.
It is as same as 'Futaba Normal Mode' function.

i just recently purchased one. now i'm little bit lost regarding the single wire.. i have tried connecting it to the signal pin of the gear ch. but nothing happens.. have i missed somthing?
olmod said it should be connected to the middle pin? isn't he middle pin is the positive pin.
please enlighten me.
where it should be connected and what setting should be done on the transmitter?
BTW i'm using a JR9x2 and been using it futaba gyros and no problem at all..

I bought two of these.
Turning off using the single-pin works on one of them, but has no effect on the other.
I connect the single-pin to the signal pin of the AUX1 channel of my AR6110.
