How do you set-up the Devo 10 so that you can use the Tx to change the gyro sensitivity? I am using the screw driver approach but I have seen references to doing it via one of the Tx channels electronically.

What I have found with the Devo 10 TX is that, if you use a cheap $10.00 gyro, like I did, 2 in fact, no matter what you do with the screw driver, your not going to get rid of the tail wag (oscillation). I put on a $60 gyro and that made all the difference in the world. Now it holds head lock and no tail wag what-so-ever. If you do go with a cheap gyro that holds head lock, you got lucky. Quality keeps you flying. Cheap keeps you crying. Hey! Can I pin that?  Not being real sure about this, but It seems setting the Devo 10 Gyro Sensor "Mode" to automatic, will handle communication with a GOOD gyro on board pretty well.

All of my choppers are Walkera receiver/gyro combinations. They have the screw on the Rx board that adjusts the sensitivity of the gyro but I have read that there is a way to adjust it using the TX/Rx in some way. Right now, I am working with the Ladybird and I would like to be able to adjust it in flight if possible.
Have I mentioned how much fun the Ladybird is??? I fly it all over the house. I may fly it outdoors some time and try the flips and rolls it is supposed to do.

Just wait till you get your hands on a Scorpion or Space Walker, Dale.  Dave |

Since you brought it up, if you could only buy one which would it be? I am ready to order one of those when you get them in.
As you and I talked via eamils, I have tried to flip the Ladybird in the house in an 8 ft high room and almost made it. Great news is that the Ladybird is almost industructable so why not try it. I will practice more now that I am back from vacation.

Dale I also have a ladybird and DEVO 10 ...to change from 6 axis gyro to 3 axis you use the F MODE switch...when you bind tx and rx you will have a red light on rx, pull fmode switch to the front or face of tx and then push back or to rear of tx and red light should turn green to be in 3 axis mode. With other rx only certain models can you control the gryo from tx.With the devo10 that would be with the aux4 or aux 5 dials on top of tx |

How do you set-up the Devo 10 so that you can use the Tx to change the gyro sensitivity? I am using the screw driver approach but I have seen references to doing it via one of the Tx channels electronically. I think what you are referring to is the 'Mix' switch on the Tx. The 3-position Mix switch is your gyro sensitivity setting switch. Depending on the model the percentages vary. For example, on my V200D03, position '0', or the with the switch all the way up, the gyro sensitivity is at 75%. In the middle position it's 70% and in position '2', or all the way down is 40%. The settings can be changed to your liking. Those are just the default settings for the V200. The Mini CP on the other hand, settings are: 75%,70% & 50%. Again the settings can be changed. Those are just the defaults. If I plug my Devo 8s into my Phoenix sim, the sim actually sees the mix switch as channel 7. So, the mix switch does use a channel on the Tx. I think this is what you are talking about? Don't forget these Tx gyro settings can be used in conjuction with the trim pots on the Rx. For example, let say you have the elev/aile gain trim pot on the Rx right in the middle at 50%. Then you have your 'Mix' switch at pos '0' at 75%. What you are really getting is 75% of what the trim pot is set to, which is 50%. So 75% of the total allowable gain based on the trim pot setting, which is 50%. |

The nice thing about the 'Mix' switch, is being able to change the gyro sensitivity on the fly.
Let's say, for example you're flying your bird on a nice, clear, sunny day with zero wind. Your Mix switch is at position '0' or 75% gain and the heli is flying great. Then all the sudden a 10mph wind kicks up and your gyro starts trying to over compensate. Your heli becomes unstable and you start to get tail wag...etc. You flip the Mix switch down to the middle position or 70% and Ba-Da-Bing, now the heli becomes more stable and easier to fly in the wind.
