How to Set up a BlitzRCWorks Head Lock Gyro

The gyro is an essential component of your radio-controlled (RC) helicopter, it is responsible for maintaining aerial stability. A head lock gyro must be calibrated to recognize the front of the aircraft, since it uses it as a reference point for making corrections to the flight path. Learn how to set up your BlitzRCWorks head lock gyro to enhance the vehicle's stability during flight.

Instructions

  1. Six-Channel System

    • 1

      Insert the three-pin wire into the receiver's fourth channel, which is "CH4," then insert the gain wire to the receiver's gyro connector.

    • 2

      Power on both the helicopter and transmitter, then wait while the gyro automatically calibrates itself. A blinking LED light indicates the gyro has entered set up mode. Wait until the LED is a solid color, indicating the gyro is ready for flight.

    • 3

      Lift the left joystick to increase the throttle, raising the helicopter into the air. Fly the helicopter to an altitude of a few feet, then use the trim slider, which is located next to the right joystick, to adjust the vehicle's steering. Use the trim to offset any uncontrollable rotation; for example, if the aircraft moves right, slide the trim left until it maintains a stable hover.

    Four-Channel System

    • 4

      Insert the three-pin wire into the receiver's fourth channel, which is "CH4."

    • 5

      Power up the helicopter and the transmitter, then wait until the gyro calibrates. The LED will blink to indicate setup mode, then it will remain a solid color once the gyro has finished calibrating.

    • 6

      Raise the left joystick to lift the helicopter into the air, then fly it up to an altitude of two feet. Use the trim adjustment knob, found next to the right joystick, to stabilize the aircraft. For example, if the helicopter spins clockwise, turn the knob counterclockwise until the vehicle maintains a stable hover.

    • 7

      Adjust the gyro's gain by turning the gain knob. If the aircraft's tail moves dramatically from side to side, increase the gain by turning it toward the plus sign. If the aircraft has a slight wobble, turn the gain toward the minus sign to decrease it. Make minor adjustments until the aircraft maintains a steady hover.
