Radio - Servo - Gyro - Gov - Batt > Airtronics Stylus how to use with heading hold gyro?

I am having problems trying to setup my gy401 w/9253 gyro to work with my stylus radio in my Hawk Sport. The instructions say that the rev-o mix needs to be turned off when in AVCS mode. This mix seems to be always active on this radio when in the heli mode. Am I suppose to just turn the mix to zero and use it this way or is there another way. I would be also very nice if another stylus user were to share how they setup there radio so I can have something to go by. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

how to turn off revo mix

To turn off the revo mix in the stylus you just have to set all the points to 0%. Inhibit p1 and p3. should look as follows.

PL = 0%
P1 = inh
P2 = 0%
P3 = inh
PH = 0%

just make sure to do that in all the flight modes that you wish to fly HH in.

also here is how the servo is setup

alot of the stylus users in our area use the biggest futaba wheel. You will probably shoot for a gain around 65% with the wire drive tail. i'm also not sure if you are using a feature card but if you are then ofcourse you have to set the gain for each flight mode (If you have the CCPM heli card then you can set 2 gains for each flight mode.

Norvin is right, that's how I do it. I have my Stylus setup so all my idle-ups are on the switches on the face of the transmitter. I have big hands, and my fingers won't fit between the switches on the top of the tranny when one is actuated toward another. Hover mode is non HH, all idle-ups are HH. Idle-up one is the same curve as hover except a little more head speed, and at the very bottom I have about 4 or 5 degrees of negative pitch, and 45 or so percent throttle. Idle-up two is a "v" curve, 0 degrees at center, -9.5 at the top and bottom. I haven't set up a idle-up three. And idle-up four is throttle hold. You can do pretty much anything you want with the Stylus, but it does take some time to get used to. Because it is so versitile, there is a lot to set up. I have the trim memory on for all functions except throttle. I used the one where all flight modes are independent of each other. If you do this, you never have to worry about trim positions. The Stylus will only register a trim change when the tranny is on, and a trim lever is moved. It will only register that change to the flight mode you are in at the time. So each flight mode will have to be trimmed independent of each other. It also means that when switching to fly another model, you don't have to worry about your trims, They will always be where you left them last. I have the toggle switch on the top of the tranny set up so it increments/deincrements whatever set-up you are in at the time (this is default). I use the stopwatch, and have it so it starts at anything over 1/4 stick, and stops at anything under 1/4 stick.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. When I first got the tranny, I studied the manual till I thought I understood everything. It still took some messing around to get everything the way I wanted it. Be aware that in order to make certain things work, you have to have all the conditions (switch and channel assignments, etc.) properly set.

Thanks, I will give it a try. I am ony using the standard programing that came with the radio so far but I plan to upgrade to the Heli3 card soon. I have tried to get into the Airtronics User group but my membership seems to have been pending for a month now.

I have an older, non CCPM heli card that I will sell for $45 shipped if you are interested.

What menu option are you refering to in the above posts. The only ones I see that match are the pitch and throttle curve menus.

GMPheli,
Thanks for the offer but I will be looking the the CCPM option when I buy the upgrade card.

A=DTM

Automatic Dynamic Trim Memory, it allows for different trim settings in each flight mode. Also look at trim authority to decrease the amount that each notch of trim provides. My machines are usu. close enough to use only 25% trim authority. that way i don't worry about rolling the heli over on accident because i pushed the trim too far.

A-DTM this is only available on the upgrade card from what I can see. I am using the standard software that came with the transmitter. I was asking what menu option you were setting to zero (pL,p1,p2,p3,pH) to turn off the rev-mix for the Heading Hold Gyro. The only menus I find that look like this is the throttle and pitch curves. Sorry for asking so many questions but I am new to this radio.

REVO=MIX make sure you do that to all flight modes that are HH

Now I gone and done it. I was working on the programming and accidently turned off the radio. When I turned it back on it gave me an backup error and defaulted me to a different mode. All the models were defaulted to heli mode and some of the options are missing in the menus like the PPM-INV option under modulation. SW 19 under the switch menu is missing instead it just goes to ON. I have read somewhere that this is the japanese mode. I will have to send my transmitter in for service I guess. Anyone know how to revert it back to the US settings or how to prevent this in the future.

Yep.... you did it. I had the same thing happen and had to send it back. The main battery was pretty low when it happened to me. They also changed out the internal battery while it was in getting fixed. I think the combo of dual low batteries is what did mine in.

I think if I were one of those Japanese fellows, I'd be pissed if I knew the software version the rest of the world was getting.

If you guys want, I can make you copies of how to reset your Stylus after lithium bat failure. It is straight from an Airtronics rep. I have not tried it yet, I am waiting till my lithium reads to low. I don't understand why manufacturers still use back up batts now that eeproms are around. As far a I know, my old Futaba 7UHF doesn't have a back up bat. At least if it does, it has lasted over 10 years!

Alan, send me a copy of how to reset the radio if you could. My first Stylus reverted back to the Japanese several times. They finaly sent me a new radio and free heli card because it happened so many times. It hapened once at the last Bakersfield fun fly. There was an Airtronics guy there who re-set it for me but he went to fast for me to see exactly what he did. One thing that I did see was that in one of the setup screens they had a synthesizer display. I asked the guy about it and I guess they were going to bring out a synth. for it but there wasn't enough demand. The way he described it was that the radio would tell you what freq. were used and which were free, you would only be able to chose a free one, then the reciver would be set through the DSC cord. No having to turn pots on the rx. I think this is how the old Infinity 1000 worked. To bad it didn't come out, it would have been nice to have one.

GMPheli,
Please send me a copy of how to reset my transmitter too. It would save me at least 3 to 4 weeks turn around on my radio.

Could anyone here scan and put a copy up for everyone? I don't have a scanner, but it would save me from mailing a bunch of copies. Sport10, I would be real interested to know what voltage your lithium bat reads now. And you really need to replace your lithium bat before you reset everything.
