Gyro on/off and Sensitivity Adjustment.
Almost all modern helicopters use a gyro on the tail rotor control. The Aurora 9X offers you the ability to use a switch to
have three different gyro “rates” per flight condition or “idle-up” and hold condition.
To effectively set-up the gyro function, you should have the gyro manufacturer’s instruction manual available to you.
We will discuss the two main types of gyros, single and dual rate.
Without selecting a gyro switch option, you will have one rate option in each flight condition or idle-up and hold
settings. If you choose to set the gyro function on a switch, you can have a different rate value for each switch position,
in each different flight condition or idle-up and hold condition.
We will keep it simple, and not select a multiple value switch for the gyro at this point. You can do it later if you wish.
### This function can be influenced by the flight condition feature ###
