Selection of Cyclic Servos for 550 Class Helicopter

[bnsgeyer (Bill Geyer)]

Harry,
You may want to check out this post I made on another recent thread where the user was putting a flight controller on a flybarred heli. It discusses how to set up some of the gains since it is a flybarred heli.

Dump the gyro or not?

Yes, it is pretty cool. So I did as you had said, I put the flight controller on the tray behind the main gear. Do not use the jello mounts for the flight controller. use either the 3M foam that I think is 5mm thick or you can also get away with thin double sided foam tape which I think is closer to 2.5 mm thick. You can mount the GPS puck on the tail boom just behind the main frame. I had some thicker pieces of scrap plastic that I drilled a hole big enough for the tailboom and used the top…

Regards,
Bill
