Nọmba 4.1.3: Ẹyìn view of the CGY760R Gyroscope Unit, showing the CE mark and 'Made in China' label.

The CGY760R is a compact and lightweight unit (37.5 x 26.8 x 16.0 mm, 20.2 g) housed in an aluminum casing for durability and heat dissipation. It integrates a high-performance gyroscope, a multi-protocol receiver, and a sophisticated speed governor.

• Gyro Section: Features proven PID control from the CGY750, supporting multiple mounting orientations.
• Anti-torque (Tail) Control: Compatible with digital (1520uSec / 760uSec) and analog (1520uSec) servos. Offers two adjustment methods: 3D and Sports, with pre-established programs.
• Cyclic Control: Supports F3C and 3D adjustment methods. Compatible with H3-90 / H3-120 / H3-140 / H4-00 / H4-45 swashplate types. Supports digital (1520uSec / 760uSec) and analog (1520uSec) servos.
• Integrated Receiver: Supports FASSTest (18CH / 12CH modes) and T-FHSS AiR protocols. Features antenna diversity with two installed antennas for reliable signal reception.
• Speed Governor: Utilizes a PID control loop for head speeds from 700 RPM to 4000 RPM. Supports digital (1520uSec) and analog (1520uSec) servos. Selectable between governor and limiter modes. Compatible with GV-1 and CGY750 sensors, and an optional rear plate rotation sensor. RPM data can be sent to the transmitter (telemetry function).

4.2. GPB-1 Programming Box

Nọmba 4.2.1: Iwaju view of the GPB-1 Programming Box, displaying its screen and control buttons.

The GPB-1 Programming Box is an essential tool for configuring and fine-tuning the CGY760R. It provides a user-friendly interface for accessing all settings and parameters, making setup and adjustments straightforward. Settings can also be adjusted via the transmitter.

The combination of the CGY760R and GPB-1 offers an all-in-one solution for helicopter flight control, simplifying installation and providing extensive tuning capabilities.

5. Eto

5.1. Fifi sori ti ara

Mount the CGY760R gyroscope unit securely to the helicopter chassis using the provided mounting holes. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and free from vibrations. The unit can be mounted in multiple orientations, but the chosen orientation must be configured in the software.

5.2. Wiring Awọn isopọ

Connect your servos (cyclic, tail, throttle) to the corresponding ports on the CGY760R unit. Connect the GPB-1 programming box to the dedicated P.BOX port. Ensure your power supply is connected to the appropriate receiver input. Refer to the wiring diagram in the full product manual for detailed connections specific to your helicopter setup.

5.3. Initial Configuration with GPB-1

Nọmba 5.3.1: An individual holding the GPB-1 programming box, demonstrating its use in a field setting alongside a remote control.

Power on your helicopter system. The GPB-1 will automatically connect to the CGY760R. Use the buttons on the GPB-1 to navigate through the setup menus. Key initial settings include:

• Ipo olugba: Select FASSTest (18CH/12CH) or T-FHSS AiR.
• Swashplate Type: Choose the correct swashplate configuration (e.g., H3-120, H4-00).
• Iru Servo: Configure for digital (1520uSec / 760uSec) or analog (1520uSec) servos for cyclic and tail.
• Iṣalaye iṣagbesori: Specify how the CGY760R is mounted on the chassis.
• Basic Gyro Settings: Set initial gain values for cyclic and tail.
• Governor Settings: Configure desired head speeds and governor mode (governor or limiter).

Detailed calibration steps for servo endpoints, collective pitch, and tail limits are crucial for proper operation and should be performed meticulously according to the full manual.

6.1. Ipilẹ isẹ

Once the system is fully set up and calibrated, power on your transmitter first, then the helicopter. Observe the LED indicators on the CGY760R for proper initialization. Ensure all control surfaces respond correctly to transmitter inputs before attempting flight.

6.2. Adjusting Settings During Operation

Nọmba 6.2.1: Individuals observing an RC helicopter, indicative of flight preparation or post-flight analysis.

The CGY760R allows for real-time adjustments of certain parameters via your Futaba transmitter, particularly gyro gain. For more detailed adjustments, such as changing flight modes (3D/Sports for tail, F3C/3D for cyclic) or fine-tuning governor parameters, use the GPB-1 programming box. It is recommended to make small, incremental adjustments and test the helicopter's response after each change.

• Gyro Gain: Adjust via transmitter for optimal tail and cyclic stability. Increase gain for more stability, decrease if oscillations occur.
• Governor RPM: Use the GPB-1 to set desired head speeds for different flight conditions.
• Awọn ọna Ofurufu: Switch between 3D and Sports/F3C modes on the GPB-1 to suit your flying style.

7. Itọju

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your Futaba P-GY760R-GBP1 system.

• Ninu: Keep the gyroscope unit and programming box clean and free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
• Ayewo: Periodically inspect all wiring and connections for signs of wear, fraying, or loose contacts. Ensure the unit is securely mounted and that no vibrations are being transmitted to it.
• Awọn imudojuiwọn famuwia: Futaba may release firmware updates to improve performance or add new features. Updates can be performed using a CIU2 or CIU3 interface unit (sold separately). Check the official Futaba webAaye fun titun famuwia awọn ẹya ati ilana.
