Den Moran Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hi,everyone, I put a cheap gyro in a P47, and the ailerons come up at the same time, instead of one up, one down. The rudder and elevayer act as asked. The aircraft controls are in bog standard mode, and respond correctly through the sticks. Anyone had this problem,please? Cheers, Den.

J D 8 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 It is usual for gyros to have a little switchboard for you to set for the right mix of control servos you have. Common are AILE, V-tail and DELTA. AILE is the one needed for a two aileron set up. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Gyros are cheap anyway Den As JD points out, there is a switchboard to select wing and direction Also, for 2 Aileron servos, there is channel Ail 1 and channel Ail 2 Also, mixes left in the transmitter don't bode well The model should be set to fly neutral without the gyro, then the gyro switched on Come back if you make no progress Edited By Denis Watkins on 04/07/2019 09:35:46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Moran Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thanks, boys - I've done all that, and now I have written to the manufacturer. I'm puzzled as to why the stick signal splits normally through the 'Y'- lead, and the gyro signal reverses on one side! They are cheap enough, but I'll wait until I hear back from them before making a final decision! Cheers, and thanks for the advice, Den.

Denis Watkins Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Just to add during your wait If you have another Y lead Swop the Y lead out, as they are notorious for connection problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Is the Y lead between the servos and the gyro? if so I can't see how it would supply a reverse signal to one aileron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Putley 1 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Exactly my own thoughts Frank. if the worst came to the worst. Den could install an expensive servo reverser on one of the Y leads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Moran Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Haven't had time to swap out the y-lead, Den - my gdaughter's 5th bday! Frank/Robert - putting a servo reverser on does just that - reverses the servo, so I'm a bit leary about doing that, although I will investigate the connection sequence of servo to recever, or direct to gyro further. Thank you, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
