| How is everyone mounting their gyro's on the N9? For the people that are using Futaba 601/611.....one piece of sensor tape, or two with the metal gyro plate?
Also how many of you bother with the velcro security strap. After looking at this months Model Heli World, it shows Eric Larsons gyro strapped down with velcro, but it says it must be LOOSE.I have a little issue with drift at the moment but I think I may have yanked down a tad too hard on the velcro security strap and its picking up a little vibes. Personally although I can see the advantage in that if the gyro tape lets loose the tail is going to go ballistic without the velcro strap, I think that with the shiny surface of the GY611 case combined with the fact that you cant do the strap up too tight for fear of increasing vibrations to the gyro sensor....is it worth it?? I am beginning to think these sensor straps are more for pose value than anything else....like "hey I do so much pirouetting shizzle that with my flying style that wimpy sensor tape would have let the sensor fly off within five minutes" Whatcha think? Sureley a good pre-flight inspection of the tape would reveal if the foam tape is starting to separate and a new piece can be installed no?
So, my question....Has anyone else experienced drifting problems due to these vecro straps being done up a tad too tight?
Cheers, Will. |
