Yep I understand about thre DX7. A few more steps to setup and tweak with rudder travel adjust and then set piro speed with the dual rate. I will be showing that as well as saving a step and just using travel adjust.

I have the 770/8900g combo on my Avant, I had to reduce the end point 10% on one side of the rudder to get the piros the same speed in bolth directions. Then just play with the dual rate till you get a piro rate that is comfortable. I have no bounce when the tail stops. Like this combo better then my 611

In Dicey's last podcast, Finless mentioned that he didn't have any heli builds on his plate and that he had picked out a likely test bed for the G770, so it should be soon.

Horizon should send him a Vibe 50 to stick it in. He could also do build videos on building it, as i have not seen him do any on a JR Heli before....
sales would double on the Vibe 50 for sure..... |

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I switch the modes? HH to Normal or vise versa?
Thanks. |

Would that be the Gear/Mix switch on my TX? If in the "Gear" posistion does this mean it's in HH mode? I have the single white wire gyro connector plugged into the "gear" slot on the RX. The reason I ask is that, I have test flown, and while in a hover, the heli won't stay put, that is, the nose keeps drifting to the left, so I'm not sure if I'm in HH or not.
Thanks |

You have to check the endpoints on your gear channel. The switch can be in any position you choose for HH depending on where your endpoints are for the gear channel. Usually above 50 is HH and below 50 is rate mode, but this can change depending on what Tx you're using and whether or not you're using the gyro menu.

this is what i do for 3 of my heli's with 770's. in you endpoints for gear channel you have a positive 100% value and negative 100% value. **the percent is you gain.. the positive value(+100%) is you HH and you negative value(-100%) is your rate mode. so you should have something like +43% for HH and -33%R...this is what my gain is. you have double the resolution because you are dealing with 100points and not 50points like with other gyros hope this helps.... |

Just stumbled onto this thread, thought I already had all the finless videos. I kinda understood DL and expo but this definately helps.
Thanks a million again Mr. finless, you rock! |

I enjoyed the videos but would like to know why with a 401 gyro my gain setting was 56% and with the JR770 the gain is only 15% (DX7 radio). This threw me way off when I initially set up the 770 as I tried 55, 60, 70, 80% until I realize I had to be much closer to zero. The tail was wagging wildly about 30 to 45 degrees at first (ya scary). Thanks Bob for all your hard work, you answer all the questions I would have, that would take many trips to the field to get answered.
