Horizonhobby.com How To - Setup your Head Lock Gyro the easy way

[TheGamerfromthefutur]

wutz wrong with mines the blades spin but it wont lift up itz a 3d helicopter

[gmodesike]

kinda looked like szabo jr. flying there lol

[prokysoft]

Realy great and usefull video, thanks!!!

[spiro9210]

This video is missing critical important details. ALL NEWBIES, you better make sure that you choose the right tail servo horn as well as the proper positioning of the ball link. If you fail to do this, your tail rotor will bind on both sides and you will not be able to compensate for it with the gyro travel limit function. In short, try to match the same distance of travel from your tail servo with the amount of travel of your tail rotor as much as possible before attempting to limit with gyro

hi guys I got one problem and I cant sort it out. my Gyro is just working find but when I push the throttle up quick then what happen is the head wil turn or spin to one side at the same time with pressing rotaltion. I dont know why. Could you please help me out. but when i push the throttle up slowly i wont do that.

Anyone can help me please. Thanksss

[mrfourtysevenman]

is it a BAD thing to have your tail and main rotor spinning clockwise? i think it is and that might me the root of my problems.

[mrfourtysevenman]

hey jim i bought a spektrum h5000 500 sized heli cyclic servo for the tail of my trex 450 pro. the heli piros counter clockwise but almost doesnt piro clockwise and when i spool up the tail will torque on ups and downs. is it the gyro or the servo or is it me?

[kelsehoffman]

nice carbon fibeer pushrod

[wcwickedclown]

excellent job

[callofduty1944]

why he shows not this thinks on a horizon model crap dont fly or whats the reason.

[mrareyoukidding]

Really... Really... Are you kidding me? Please

[thekid23200]

hey Mr. jim thank you for the quick help on the gyro setup, i've been having trouble ,

[chicharra93]

hey, but what happens if I am using the stock blade 400 gyro that doesnt has the gyro limit function, what do I need to do? please help me have been trying to setup my gyro right for a long, long time...

[calaisexclusive]

@chicharra93 Move the ball to the second position hole from the centre on your rudder servo. That should shorten the travel. cheers

[callofduty1944]

horizon shows it on a align wow why you dont show it on a blade cp to crapy or what.

[Lilbanks96]

Hey Jim I am a 14 year old who is loving this hobby and in many of your videos you have Product Developers that come in and talk about horizons products. Well I was just wondering what sort of college degree you would need to achieve the job of product developer at Horizon or similar RC company thanks a bunch and awsome videos

[newbflyer101]

this video is incomplete. nice attempt tho. Lots of small details and other settings he skipped.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@newbflyer101 Not very much left out, try it. If you open the link below the video player there is a complete step by step. What is it you think we left out?

[superfish99]

just for a small correction on your title, your are missing 1 letters "u" after the Setup you.... sorry to bother and i will change my settings on the 401 gyro on my blade 400 that has a small tail wag... thanks! have a nice day!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@superfish99  Thanks Super, was trying to finish this on Friday before I left. re the 401 this setup works fine.

[epoweredrc]

Nice video, Wow I want a job like you have, I love RC have for 22 years. I do not know it all but know lots. Really like HH videos.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@epoweredrc Thanks epower, yep it is fun and you never quit learning new things. Helicopters have made huge gains in those 22 years haven't they!

[epoweredrc]

@HorizonRCdotCom Yeah. they have come a LONG way I flew electric in about 1992 and today WOW, most people do not have a clue. Do they!

Chris.

[shangsandy87]

Good job JIm! Your presentation improved so much with that nice blue shirt!

[BUGGER9946]

@shangsandy87 We`re all glad you can`t see his pants GayBoy

[shangsandy87]

@BUGGER9946 Haha on a second look after 6 month, I did leave some room for some ambiguity over that blue shirt part! Good catch! :)

[jauchiu]

Jim why did you adjust the travel limits on the Gyro instead of adjusting it in the transmitter? You certainly know more than most of us, I think I always adjusted my travel limits in the transmitter. Did i do it wrong or is this just for the JR gyro? Thanks for the vid. Well done.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@jauchiu actually that one comes from the Align Gyro manual but it works with the others as well. The JR manual says to set the TX to 150% but that seems to make it difficult to keep the slider between the stops with the gyro.

[spiro9210]

@jauchiu

I know this is late, but I shall explain. adjusting the end points in the TX is for limiting your inputs only i.e to prevent you from binding the tail rotor while pushing the stick left and right. However, the tail servo also receives separate commands from the gyro, and you cannot limit the gyro from the TX...hence you need to limit the gyro from the...thats right...the gyro limit function to prevent the gyro from binding the tail rotor.

[spiro9210]

@jauchiu

In continuation. First, set the limit from the gyro. Second, push and pull your heli by dragging the head steadily in opposite directions. Three, as you drag and pull your heli, check for binding on the tail rotor. Four, adjust gyro limit accordingly until binding is gone in either direction. Five, grab your TX and move your rudder stick to opposite ends. Six, If the tail rotor binds, adjust your rudder end points until the tail rotor binding is gone.

ive been having troubles but the vid helped ..

i seem to Always have to add right to the4 rudders subtrim to center it .. but ill redo all the steps .. im using a jr g500t ring gyro jr servo as well

[startazz]

Great job as always Jimbo ;-) thumbs up.

[a09a21a]

how do i set delay?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@a09a21a By trial and error. But realistically, you should get a very fast digital servo for the tail rotor. Digitals do not use any delay. In this case I am using the Align DS520. Even the Align 420 works well but if you have a Trex type heli I don't think you will get the final result you are looking for using an analog servo.

@HorizonRCdotCom

tank you ^^
