Gyro install for Freewing RC Jet Airplane
what is GYRO?
Gyros are devices designed to stabilize an aircraft. They are typically the size of an average receiver or small ESC. Gyros are connected in between the servos and the receiver, and mix their input with the input from your fingers. These inputs are calculated by the gyro, to counteract forces acting on the plane. The result is that the gyro can react much faster than our eyes and fingers can, to properly adjust an aircraft's control surfaces to produce stable flight.
A common use of a gyro is to prevent a tail-dragging plane from torque rolling to the left during takeoff. Another advantage is that an aircraft with a properly configured gyro can fly more stably in much higher wind conditions than an aircraft without a gyro.
While a properly configured gyro can be a great benefit to your flying experience, an improperly configured gyro can be very dangerous and lead to crashes and other damage. It is crucial that pilots read the complete instruction manual and follow all setup videos to ensure their gyro is installed correctly and configured properly.
Gyros are best installed on an aircraft after you have already maidened the aircraft and flown it a couple of times, to trim its control surfaces and verify your preferred CG position. Only after those factors have been finalized, should a gyro be installed. In agreement with the manufacturer's manual we do not recommend maidening a new aircraft with a gyro installed, even if that gyro is turned off.
Depending on the sensitivity of the gyro, which can be adjusted by a pilot for his or her preference, a gyro can play a large part of the flight stability of an aircraft. That being said, a gyro will not actually fly an aircraft for you, so gyros should not be considered a tool to help a pilot fly an aircraft which he or she is not yet ready for. A gyro is a supplement to an aircraft the pilot must already be able to fly safely. A gyro is not an enhancement to be relied upon to allow a new pilot to fly, for example, a big 90mm 100mph jet when that pilot's experience so far is limited to small 30mph parkflyer trainer planes.
See the other articles in this Gyro section for more detail on the performance and advantages that gyros can offer your RC flying experience.

1.The Freewing E52 gyro can automatically adjust the three channels of aileron, elevator, and rudder in real time to make the aircraft fly more smoothly, enhance stability during windy flight conditions, and overall enhance a pilot�� s flying experience. Level flight, inverted flight, side flight, 3D flight, and other maneuvers become easier to accomplish while maintaining core user control. 2.Various types of flight configurations are supported by the E52, including ordinary fixed-wing aircraft, delta-wing aircraft (flying wing), V-tail control aircraft, etc. The factory default mode is set for a standard single wing, fixed-wing aircraft. 3.The E52 gyro also supports multi-channel output function, in addition to the three conventional channels of aileron, elevator, and rudder, two channels of dual aileron, and dual elevator. These multi-channel capabilities enable pilots to fine tune the performance of their RC model aircraft. 4.A standalone Programming Card enables users to quickly and accurately adjust the settings on the Freewing E52 gyro, without the need to rely on LED light signals or audible beeps. 5.Functions of the gyro can be changed in real time using the pilot�� s radio transmitter. When flying in the air, you can use this switch to control the various functions, allowing you to experience and evaluate different control configurations, such as high gain or low gain. 6.Three working LED lights in blue, purple and red, are easy to read and help visually distinguish the various working modes and states of the Freewing E52 gyro. 7.Designed with low weight and small physical size, the Freewing E52 can be used in many fixed-wing aircraft without major modification. A screw-on base design allows reliable installation and consistent placement, and eliminates the risk of the gyro falling out of position during flight.
Precautions for Initial Startup
1.Please read the instructions carefully before powering on the E52 gyro for the first time. 2.Verify that the direction and position of the connection line of each channel are correct. 3.Position the aircraft in a stable place to prevent it from shaking, and then turn on the power to ensure that the gyro is fully initialized. This process may take several seconds, during which time the aircraft must remain completely motionless. If the model aircraft is accidentally moved during this initial startup phase, please restart the process by unplugging the power then plugging in the power again. 4.Visually inspect the gyro�� s LED indicators to confirm the gyro is in the intended Mode that you want to use. 5.To check the control signal output of the remote control, first use the remote control to check whether the control directions of the ailerons, elevator, and rudder are correct. If they are not correct, set the channels in the remote control to be positive or negative until the control directions of each channel are correct. Your finger�� s inputs from your radio control/transmitter must correspond correctly to the movements of the aircraft�� s control surfaces for the gyro�� s inputs to compliment your inputs. 6.To check the output of the gyro correction signal, please carefully follow the introduction in the direction of the gyro correction, carefully check whether the direction of the output correction signal of each channel is completely correct. If not, please change the corresponding correction direction and set it to the correct direction. Failure to configure the gyro�� s control surface direction properly will result in a crash.The Delta Wing (flying wing) Mode uses ailerons and elevators for mixing, and the V-Tail Mode uses elevator and rudder for mixing. The remote control does not need to be set to mixing. The mixing output is done by the gyro. Set the Model Type in your radio transmitter to Normal Wing configuration, so that it does not compete with the E52 gyro�� s onboard mixing software. 7. ��Gain�� describes the amount of sensitivity with which the gyro reacts in physical movement of your aircraft in flight. If gain is set too low, the gyro will not influence your aircraft�� s flight. If gain is set too high, the gyro will overreact to each motion of the aircraft. It is important for the user to adjust the amount gain to achieve their preferred balance between under-sensitivity and over-reaction. It is generally recommended to adjust it at 40%-50% first, and then fine-tune it according to the flight situation. If the aircraft control surface shakes more severely during flight, then reduce the sensitivity of the corresponding control surface and test it again. The higher the gain, the more likely the aircraft will shake, and the smaller the gain, the smaller the stabilization effect. Different aircraft require different stabilization effects. This requires you to adjust the gain during flight.
.Installation method Use screws or 3M double-sided tape to install the E52 inside the fuselage, while being sure to keep the three sides of the gyro shell parallel to the three rotation axes of the aircraft. It is critical to keep the gyroscope parallel to the installation plane and minimize the installation angle deviation. Misaligned gyro installation will result in an uncontrollable aircraft.

Gain,Connect the Gain channel of the receiver ELE Elevator,Elevator that connect with receiver RUD AIL2 ELE2 GAIN PPM/BUS/MOD While the gyro is in use, it will be directing the servos at a rate of hundreds of times per second, so the power draw will increase. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the BEC has enough power supply to the receiver, otherwise the supplied voltage to the gyro may decrease during flight, resulting in inconsistent performance. In order to provide a stable voltage to the E52, it is necessary to the distributed large capacitor is plugged into the free channel of the gyro or receiver. Note that the red wire is the positive pole and the black wire is the negative pole. Take care to avoid plugging the red wire into the negative pole! The Freewing E52 gyro supports traditional parallel receivers, standard PPM receivers and S.BUS receivers. The E52 provides 7 different control surface layouts to choose from. Different layouts have different wiring methods. However, in general, for most fixed-wing aircraft the input terminal [AIL] aileron, [ELE] elevator, and [RUD] rudder are all required. PPM/BUS/MOD] The flight mode switching channel must also be connected. The other function of this channel is to power the E52. [GAIN] is the remote total gain control channel which can be programmed to your potentiometer dial on your radio transmitter. It is not necessary to use this remote gain channel, in which case the gyro will rely on the physical gain dials on the actual gyro itself. your radio transmitter.

Flight Mode Basic gain mode: Auto level gain mode: Auto hover mode: Gyro off mode: Attitude lock mode: Trainer mode: During the Basic Gain Mode, the red LED is always on. This mode is suitable for all fixed-wing aircraft and is the most commonly used mode. It can effectively improve the stability of the aircraft, improve the control accuracy, and reduce the stall point of the aircraft, which is especially suitable for the installation and use of aircraft that are difficult to control. This Basic Gain Mode is recommended as the initial starting point for new pilots with new installations of the Freewing E52 gyro. During the Attitude Lock Mode, the red LED flashes slowly. In this mode, the gyro will make continuous corrections to the rotation of each axis. Moving the stick will make the aircraft rotate at a certain speed around the corresponding axis of rotation, and once the stick is released, the aircraft will be locked at the current position immediately. This Mode is useful for certain types of multi-rotors, and 3D acrobatic fixed wing aircraft. While in Trainer Mode, the blue and purple LED light are always on. In this mode, the aircraft's roll and loop actions will be prohibited, and the aircraft will always be restricted to fly within a safe range of inclination. This is commonly referred to as ��bank angle limitation�� , to reduce the likelihood of a pilot inadvertently putting the aircraft into too steep a turn or too steep a dive from which safe recovery is difficult. At any time during Training Mode, as long as the ailerons and elevator sticks are returned back to the center, the aircraft will be automatically brought back to the horizontal position. You can use this mode to achieve a one-key rescue or to assist a beginner in flying. When in doubt whenever using a Mode 2 radio, simply release the control sticks and allow the Freewing E52 Gyro to automatically return your aircraft back to level flight, after which you can retake control and return the aircraft�� s heading toward your direction. In Auto Level Gain Mode, the blue and the purple LED light flash slowly. In this mode, once the radio stick is released, the aircraft will automatically return to the horizontal position. This differs from the Trainer Mode because in Auto Level Gain Mode, there is no bank angle limit protection in the automatic balance mode. The aircraft will only return to the level when the ailerons and the elevator stick are returned to the center. This mode is useful to training pilots who have graduated from Trainer Mode. Used primarily with 3D aerobatic aircraft, the blue and the purple LED light flash quickly. When the stick is released, the aircraft maintains the hovering mode with the nose up. This mode can be used to assist the hovering in flight. Please note that the aircraft�� s power system must be able to provide sufficient >1:1 thrust-to-weight ratio to be able to
