Hi Andika, I apologize for not replying faster.

>We are on half of March and it will be available in your web store this month?

We're working hard to have it available by then, yes.

>1- SK360 are two axis gyro SMM inside a box ? specs, datasheet ?

The manual and setup software will be released at the same time as the gyro itself. Yes, it is a two axis gyro for cyclic (aileron, elevator) stabilization. It weighs 20 grams, and measures 40x30x15mm.

>2- what is the performance of SK360 axial gyros ? like a GY401 ? GY611 ? or DS760 ?

So far we've found the limits to performance are set by the mechanical setup, servos, and blades, not the gyro's sensor. The ideal helicopter mechanics will use digital servos and have zero slop in its linkages and swashplate. Also fairly stiff (but not totally rigid) head damping works best. The ideal blades have some flex spanwise, but are torsionally rigid.

>3- It will be necessary an LCD display for programing SK360 ?

It's possible to set it up just with your transmitter. But you can get better performance by using your computer, with the included USB interface and setup software. For most users, a computer will not be required for tuning the gyro at the field, just for initial setup. An external LCD interface is also in the works, as a supporting product.

>4- We must use a CCPM mixer for our CCPM helicopters as Spartan AP2000i or CSM Cyclock mixer ?

No, the gyro provides all swash mixing functions. It also has high-end functions such as:

* phase angle adjustment
* cyclic-ring to prevent swashplate binding
* rate-evening of the servos to prevent uncommanded collective pitch during fast elevator changes
* adjustable cyclic dead band for steady hovering

OK, good info.

You can ship one for me tomorrow, let me know your paypal account

I hope this gyro works fine, maybe in my hands soon

Hi,

thanks for your answer,

we have actually +12 /-12 pitch ability and +9 / -9 cyclic pitch ability approximatively. So i think it should fit the requirements needed

One dumb question: how is it possible, to get one of these magic box ?

Second dumb question, is there a chance, that the gyro system could later have an deported oled display program box to setup number of swash servos, servos neutal, virtual phasing, pitch curve and other stuffs? If yes, what would be the approximative price ?

And last of all, do you know anybody who would be interrested in dsigning the software and PCB drawing for a standard heading hold gyro with SMM sensor ? If yes, well ..


Thanks a lot for a reply,

Fabien

PS: i'll try to sort out a full head for you if you want to test with your system.

If all goes well, sometime in the two weeks we'll have a runryder add up linked to our site.

>Second dumb question, is there a chance, that the gyro system could later have an deported oled display program box to setup...? ...price?

Yes, an external programming unit is in the works. Price will be about $60. It's early enough in development to change it to an oled or larger lcd rather than the traditional 2-line LCD - but that would almost double the cost :-)

Bruce2.5D - how about releasing software so it could be setup from a PDA ?

PDA

I have a palm pilot just dying for a purpose in life. Make sure it is palm and pc compatible.

palm pilots

Re the idea of a PDA / Palm Pilot version, it would mean working in a 3rd software dev environment, so unfortunately there would have to be a lot of demand to make that worthwhile.

Another option might be IRDA or bluetooth, from a cell phone. But bluetooth would wind up costing more than an LCD terminal, and IRDA doesn't seem to be universal any longer. An LCD terminal, you plug it in, and it just works. But suggestions or second opinions on this are welcome.

OOhhhh, this caught my eye! I love the look of flybarless and I cant wait till you can buy this system

Your very best bet is to keep it as simple to understand and use as possible, all imho of course.

will you be sell the conversion kit for the head for different helis ? like the trex500 ?

conversion kit ?? what´s that ?

SK360 are two gyros inside the same case and compatible with all flybar helis on the market, including Trex 500

You will not receive any conversion kit for rotor head, it is not necesary you only must remove your flybar.

If you have any problem, let we know at www.runryder.com

There have been some minor delays in production, but the SK360 will be released very soon. If all goes well, within a week.
