FBL Gyro 3gx limiting cyclic pitch.

[danhampson]

I want to limit my cyclic pitch to 6deg because I'm running a 4 blade head .

DIR setup was done as per the manual (12°/8°)

Am I best doing this in the swash mix menu or with dual rates, its been a while since I've played with the 3gx.

Use the swash mix menu Dan, anything else tends to confuse the 3Gx, lol

Cheers Kev. I couldn't remeber.

I'll sort that out this afternoon and give every thing a check over ready for morning .

NO!!! You will use the flight mode settings in the gyro to limit the cyclic movements. You MUST set this gyro up with 8º of cyclic pitch in DIR mode so the gyro knows where it is.

cheers tony 3gx is set up with 8° cyclic. Ill plug it into the laptop later and alter that.

You can do it on the gyro if you want. Here are the two videos on how to adjust the flight mode settings.

The only downside is you can only go a set amount. In the computer, you can go 1% at a time. But, you can get a feel for it anyway.
