3. Installation
Important: all gyro systems based on piezo sensors are vulnerable to vibration, and if your
model suffers from excessive vibration you will not obtain satisfactory results with any
piezo-gyro. However, you can be sure of obtaining good results by mounting the gyro unit
in your model using the foam plastic damper pads supplied. We also recommend the 3.2
mm thick double-sided foam tape made by 3M (robbe Order No. 5014). To avoid disap-
pointment we strongly recommend that you pay particular attention to the elimination of
vibration in your model.
Apply one of the self-adhesive foam strips to the underside of the gyro case. Install the case
in a low-vibration location in the model (e.g. in the dome under the collective pitch servo
of a Futura). The gyro must be orientated in such a way that the axis to be stabilised runs
vertically through the gyro (see Sketch 3). The installation position is non-critical, and can
be close to the rotor shaft or in the front servo structure. The only really important point is
that the 3-D gyro is well protected from vibration.
