New Gyro Stabilizer

[droneflyer200]

I did not quite like the way the TL-70 gyro I had in the FT Spear was working it had a switch to set for flying wings but I just didn't feel good about the way it was working in elevon mode the alerons didn't seem to react quite right so I went online and was looking over the Radio Link Line of radios and they have two Gyros that use PPM and are listed to being compatible  with FlySky Receivers using PPM or Sbus. The type A for Acrobatic is a 4 channel gyro and has several modes  for diferent kinds of flying selectable from the transmitter. they also make the D model a 3channel model D is for delta for planes that use elevons and Vtails I picked one up for about 20 bucks US on amazon the thing is tiny and weights about two grams.

I have one of these on my Mig and it works well. 

You need to angle the nose upward quite a bit more than you think you would to get the plane to fly level, like 4-5 degrees. It actually does say that in the directions. 

I first tried it in the dart, and it had entirely too much gain on the stabilizers, and the plane rocked insanely, it is a shame, because that tiny plane seemed like it should have been perfect for it. 

So all that to say, it will work well for some planes and not the others. I don't know how to differentiate which either. But for what it is, I like it. I got a byme A and 2 D's for 40 bucks of aliexpress. It took me like a month to get them, and they sat in my car for another month or so before I used them.

Well I will hook everything up and report back how I make out. Have you tried any of the hobby eagle gyros I bought one but it didn't seem to want to work with my FlySky receivers.

I have a hobbyeagle a3super3 I have yet to use. Daemon on rc groups says it has the best stabilization of anything he has used. I picked one up on ebay for 25 bucks but haven't put it on anything. He uses it for stabilization but uses a F7 flight controller with sbus pass through to handle RTH functions. 

This actually stabilizes really well.

I keep meaning to do a write up on it, but it does work great and has GPS for RTH and geofencing. Plus only 30 bucks. But the manual is complete garbage. I do like it though, barrett is getting it with the airloader, but I may buy another one for my ranger to take that on longer range FPV missions. Here video from it. Winds were 10-15mph, so pretty damn good if you ask me. That was autolaunch on it too and it just ripped right out of my hand up to about 45mph. As you can tell, I gave up on the airloader being fast, max speed is about 65mph with this set up, but it has boatloads of low end grunt, it could probably do vertical takeoff.

Great I look forward to reading your write up I may order an other Hobby Eagle to try there are quite a few of them available I like the fact that the gain is tuneable from the transmitter via a aux channel . The first one would not pass through the PWM signals to the servos.

i have both the hobby eagle a3pro and the a3v3 and the radiolink byme a and i use the byme more and they are easier to set up
