@Captan6pack Hi, Rate mode is used to make general forward flight easier you don't need to use rudder as much, the tail will automatically follow the nose of the heli. Using heading hold for he same kind of flight means you need to use the rudder to get the heli to turn.

Hi Gary, I have the DX7 tx and the AR7000 rx utilizing at futaba gy-520 gyro. When connecting the gyro (which has 2 leads (red:gain channel/black:tail rotor channel) to the rx, which channel on the rx do I connect the (black plug) and which channel on the rx do I connect the (red plug)? After all of this, what do I set my DX7 transmitter on? Any help you can give me on this would be great. Thank you.

Hi, connect the tail rotor servo to the rudd channel (4) and the gain to GEAR (ch 5)

set the % gain for gear channel to 35% & 70%. this should give you rate mode @ 35% and heading hold @70% depending on gear switch. check the gyro, normally the led is on for heading hold, this is where you want the 70% gain.

if this is unclear or you need more help drop me a message.

Gary thanks again. I had a bloody hell of a time helping a newbie with his dx7 setting up gyro. Gyro appears bloody nowhere. One must go to INPUT SELECT menu and look for GEAR to toggle out of default INH to select GYRO. I checked spektrums latest Dx7 user manual, and I must say spektrum is fucked. Nothing about this in there. Spektrum really pushing me to Futaba!!!
