GT-5 Gyro Touch Flybarless System

[johnbs8]

so coming in late here on the GT-5. whats the overall take on the unit for hard 3D?

[jockstrap]

I've personally seen it run on a new Raptor G4 performing some very decent hard smack 3D and it was magnificent to watch...

If setup right - it will hold it's own with the best I feel..

The raptor G4 had nearly default settings.. whereas i had to tweak it a lot on my 450 and was then basically as good as my beastx.. but a little different feel...

So it will depend on your tuning efforts I guess.. but the potential is definitely there..

It's working well so far in piro manoeuvres on the 7 hv, i.e. piro funnels, rainbows, loops etc, which says a lot more imop than how it smacks as you need consistency with these manouvres, but overall id say pretty good, I still have to get used to the agility as it flips and rolls very fast but through piro flips it feels a little lethargic compared to high agility on vbar, I've maxed out agility to 127 so will see if it works

Total gain parameter in the transmitter may have a positive or a negative value (+100 or -100). Which option to choose (+ or -)? Or the GT-5 can operate in a 'Normal' (+100), or in the 'Head lock' (-100), as in the classical gyroscope?

[Stolla]

You must have 100 running against a black background, not white

[ARS555]

Stolla, thanks for the answer.
One more issue: for the high stability I need to increase the options swachplate "I" and "hovering"?

[Stolla]

For high stability yes hovering but it's so stable you dont need to do individual parameters, rather set your ail and el values in setup under swash a little lower and add expo.
MAke sure your geometry is good so it doesnt bind out of setup and have a read at the setup guide, https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=360297 and my posting on setup there

[ARS555]

Ok, thanks.

I still haven't got the chance to test out my setup yet, 25-28mph winds here in the UK, I do however have another question for the Sbus connected guys, on the main display at the bottom it shows Rc With a cricled "!". Is this right when it's set to Sbus or do I need to reset something? I did select Sbus then bound my Rx to Tx before setup so I now wonder if it's ok as it is.

We're having the same kind of winds down here ATM. Got to test the 500 GT5 in the wind today

I have not noticed what you described but I have the heli in the trunk so I'll check that in a bit and report back

I have ! icon on all of my G-T5 units.

[seemore74]

So I'm good then, I just noticed it today and thought, "was I test flying my precious Kasama the other day & there was a Rx problem"
Now for this darn wind to ease up so I can test this thing again.

Well then I think you might have an RX problem. I have just powered on both of my gt5s and they had the same icon but as soon as I bounded it with my satellite then it showed a radio icon to let me know that it had signal.

I am not sure if it will be the same if you use a normal rx but will check when I have the time. So if you are using satellites be careful

[HeliBenj]

Sbus Rx here and I do have thr ! Icon

[swalko]

Yesterday i tried positive and negative total gain values (-100, +100). My G-T5 is still in HH mode and in my TDR G-T5 behave same with positive and negative values.

[ARS555]

Swalko, I also did it. GT-5 also was in the mode of HH. However, my heli was a little bit more stable than during hovering. I will check it again. But perhaps the explanation for this - Instructions for AC-3X, Section 2.7 "Tools", "Parameter Switching"? Maybe "+ or -" change "servo pulse length"?

I have noticed that when you give it a negative value the value is highlighted. Is this meant to mean rate mode?

[ARS555]

Euwan, negative total gain on the display GT-5 - black on white background value. Are you asking about this?
What if this is changed I want to understand. If the change is + / - affects the servo pulse length, of course it will change the mode servo. Answer I do not know yet.

[Stolla]

i found that aginst white background piro compensation doesn t work, you can tweak it wth dma one direction but not the other, like in a rainbow one way tail hold the other way it breaks free completely so didnt work for me

Lol yeah that is what I am wondering
