| binding Carrying it around in HH mode can also bind your servo which can lead to premature servo death.
Not if you set it up correctly. If the gyro has a travel adjustment, use it to ensure that the servo never binds. If it doesn't, tweak the mechanical setup so the servo never binds. Now you can carry it around, fiddle with it on the bench, fly it, whatever, and your servo will never bind up the linkages. If you skip this step, you risk binding the servo no just while you carry it, but while you fly it, while you work on it (sitting still on the bench) or anything else.
I leave mine in HH mode all the time. I work the rudder a bit while I'm spinning up the blades, to keep the tail from wandering. It doesn't take much... if you see the tail trying to move, just poke the rudder stick in the opposite direction. It doesn't always respond immediately, but it will when the blades get up to speed. |
