    How to invert the admiral gyro control surfaces movement

    I set up my admiral gyro to delta wing but the movement of the control surfaces is not correct. how can i reverse the control surfaces movement from the gyro.

    If the control surface movement is wrong reverse it via the transmitter. If the correction direction of the gyro is wrong use the dip switches.

      I already did that but without no results. It is posible the gyro might be damage.

        Did i a have to set firmly the gyro to the plane in order to get correct surface movement fron it.

          Wich way i have to turn the dials on the gyro to get the correct response.

              We made videos on how to setup the gyro and how to go through the combos.

              is your gyro set to delta wing via the dip switches?

                Yes is set up to delta per manual and your videos but aparently i can't make it work correctly in myfreewing eurofighter. The only way posible to make the control surfaces on the gyro work the correct way is inverting the gyro orientation. Insted of having the pins facing back you have to facing foward. But still no correct response from the gyro for elevator or rudder just for elevator. After several test on position and calibrate the gyro for correct control surfaces response from the gyro this was the only possible solution. I want to know if you made the gyro work the right way on a delta wing acording the per manual and your video guidelines. I would like to also know if you can test the gyro on the freewing eurofighter to see your results.

                  P.S.
                  when i say gyro control surfaces correction i refering for reference to the stabilization correct orientation on the gyro.

                    The actual and normal control surfaces on the plane work fine i just reversed on my radio.
                    by the way for reference on what radio im using is a spektrum DX 7.

                      Take a look at those little dip switches on the top of the RX. Do you see the first 3, labelled AIL, ELE, RUD? Those are what you use to reverse the gyro correction direction.

                        I just shot a video on what correct gyro correction direction looks like. Should be up in a few days.
                        It is much easier to discern if your gyro is correcting properly in recovery mode over any of the other modes. Even if you never plan on using recovery it's the best way to see what's happening. Don't forget control surface stick inputs on the tx are independent from gyro correction direction, meaning you have to make sure that both are properly set up.

                          I watched that yesterday while trying to get my HoB Cub ready for maiden (posted in propeller airplanes!) You verified everything I suspected to complete the set up and show up to the field with a ready to fly bird. Did the maiden with gyro OFF to get any adjustments sorted, but here were none, so I expect the gyro to help make this good flyer a 'great flyer'
                          Thanx Ryan!

                            Thank you so much for the info. This are great gyros. I would like to say that is like have almost the same quality of the spektrum AR636 for less.
