Hoiw about using the GV-1 with the 10SXII

Mark:

Your dial-in method looks very interesting!

I have a 10SXII, but so far, all of my flying has been with 8103's. Just purchased a GV-1, but don't have it here, yet.

Do you think I can set up my 10SXII to dial in the rpm like you do with the 10X? I do not know the differences between them.

I use gassers for aerial photography, and believe that being able to dial in minor changes in rpm may help me to stay away from resonant freqs.

set up my 10SXII to dial in the rpm?

I do not have any experience the 10SXII.

But it should have an Aux4 Knob and it should work fine (see wiring diagram).

8103 gv-1

i am using a gv-1 with my 8103 - set it up like:

Normal - 1450
ST1 - 1650
ST2 - 1750

I used aux3 for the 3 position RPM, Gear for on/off, Stick Switch on.

works like a champ.

I'm setting up my 10s with a Futaba GV-1 and Gy 401. I have followed most of you settings however I can't figure how Aux 5 mix causes the 1,2 Flight modes to turn on the gov (Aux5->Aux2). Why Aux 5? Does it matter where the Aux 5 know is set?
I also lack the second screen when programing mixes on the 10s that allows tying additional switches into the mix. I can't figure how to get the throtle hold to turn off the gov.
Anyone with mix experience on the 10s I could use some help.

Thanks Sim

10X AIRCRAFT RADIO, HOW TO USE IT IN HELI'S

I have a JR 10X aircraft radio that I would like to use with my heli's. What should I do about all the mixing and set up, does anyone know as I would like to go to this radio. I am presently using an 8103 heli radio, and really like how user-friendly it is, but with the 10X aircraft radio, just trying to get it to function is extreemly frustrating. Should I just send it to JR and have it reprogrammed for Heli (if this is at all possible).

Thanks Mark,

Excellent post.

Here's a 10X question that I haven't been able to work. I am NOT very familiar with using the mixes with the radio so I welcome your input.

I have a GY401 with a SIX channel reciever. The gyro has to plug into the gear channel therefore the HH/normal mode switch is the gear switch. What I would like to do is "move" that function to the Aux 2 switch and still have complete control of gain in HH and normal mode.

In the 10X there is standard programmable mixing (codes 51-54) and Multi-point programmable mixing (codes 55-58).

Question #1: Which one do I use 51-54 or 55-58?
Question #2: Can I still control the gains (HH/Normal) in the travel adjustments section (code 12), Aux section?
Question #3: IF I have to use 55-58 where do I put the percentage adjustment?

I know most will say just buy a 9 or 10 channel receiver and be done with it. The radio should be capable of it so I would like to use the features of the radio.

Thanks for your input.

Jeff

What's up with the modified neck strap hook? For better balance?

Yes it is for balance. The short antenna does not way as much as the stock telescopic one (extended).

You don't use 44 with a 401 gyro. Disable that, and go to the ATV screen. The ATV for the RUDDER sets the PIRO rate. Start at 100%. Now PAGE to the next screen in ATV. The ATV for AUX3 sets the gyro GAIN. When you flip AUX3 switch, note which is highlighted. I use forward switch for HH switch back for RATE mode. You use the REVERSE screen to change the direction of the switch. Your choice. Start with AUX3 ATV's both at 80%. Hover the heli in rate mode first. Trim the tail , then flip the AUX3 switch to HH position. No change in trim should be noted. Make sure you turn on the transmitter first, in HH, then turn on the receiver. When the red light on the gyro is lit, you are in HH mode. Use 18mm servo arn if using the 9253 servo. You have a great gyro there, you'll enjoy how it performs. Yell back if I've confused you on any part of this.

Politely stated BULL****! Code 44 works perfectly and easily with the 401, and there is no reason that I can think of to NOT use it, and in fact I do, flawlessly. Anything else is just overcomplicating the issue! Just the the two (or three mode/gain values you want in code 44, and either assign them to the flight mode switch or the rudder d/r switch. Done! It's that simple!

I'm glad your happy Tim. Yours is just another perspective, but not the only one. Keep that in mind when you use that strong language, politely speaking, of course.

I agree with Tim, very easy to use a 401 and 10X once you understand the gyro. I use code 44 and have my gains set at 90 80 70 all on my flight mode switch. As you can tell by the gain values I fly in HH on all three modes. If I want to fly in rate mode I would just reduce the gain value below 50%. 49% being the least amount of gain in rate mode and 0% being the most amount of gain. Totally a cool gyro.

Tim,

There's a very good reason that I personally don't use Code 44 for gyro sensitivity.

I put gyro sensitivity on a switch (two HH values, hover and high RPM), and then use a rotory (pot switch) mix to dial-it up/down (for adjustments on very windy or very calm days).

I use Code 44 as the GV-1 RPM setting channel, so that I can have three different RPM settings linked to the Flight Mode Switch. I even add a rotory switch to this also, to dial the RPM.

Perhaps in the days of rate gyros, three rates were necessary, I just don't see it useful for that any longer...at least for my own usage.

This is actually on a 10SxII radio, but they are basically the same radio.

rickc hence the question is

90 80 and 70 is set on the auto page under function 44.Which means the gyro is controlled by the flight mode switch.If i was to set it on the aux page then the gyro is controlled by the rudder d/r switch.Am i right

I too have three head speeds linked to the flight mode switch, and did not have to waste code 44 to do it - I used a simple mix from the flight mode switch, to, IIRC, aux 2, and set the speeds on the GV-1. I use the gear switch to manually shutdown the GV-1 if needed. On code 44, I use (starting point at least) 80 and 20 for values, corresponding to 60% gain, in each rate and HH. I assign to aux-3, which gives me the rudder d/r switch to select between rate and HH, but you can also couple this to the flight mode switch as well. Sorry about the strong voice, but it really chaps me when a definitive statement like "Code 44 is not for use with the 401" is made, which is clearly not correct. Yes, there are different opinions, but this statement does not consider other methods either.
