What is proper setup for my non-heading hold gyro? What should I expect from my new non-heading hold gyro or heading hold gyro in NORM mode?
• First, we need to be sure your gain is set going the proper direction. If it is set up correctly, the gyro will dampen any input, whether the wind, rudder stick, or you moving the plane by hand. So left rudder stick will move the rudder left but as the aircraft rotates left the gyro will dampen this movement by lessening the left rudder given. With the plane sitting still the rudder works normal. When the plane moves the gyro moves the rudder to counteract the movement. Does not matter what made the plane yaw wind or rudder input the gyro will dampen the movement. If the gyro is backwards the yaw created by the rudder input will increase as the plane rotates; so, if the gain is reversed, when you pick up and move the tail to the right, the gyro moves rudder further right. Use rudder stick to move rudder right, gyro pushes further right. • Next, we need to set the maximum gain. To do so, take off with the gain turned off, and the gain setup to be adjustable in flight.
