Piezo-Kreisel G 300
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 sup-
plied. We also recommend the 3.2 mm thick double-sided foam tape made by 3M
(robbe Order No. 5014). To avoid disappointment 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 instal-
lation 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 Piezo-Gyro G 300 is well
protected from vibration.
