STICK OVERRIDE GYRO GAIN (Gyro System)
A37
Stick Override Gyro Gain is very popular with aerobatic
pilots, as it allows the pilot to instantaneously override
the gyro by moving the stick. Gyro gain decreases as
the stick is moved further from neutral and is typically
set up so that gyro gain is reduced to zero when the
stick is at full deflection. When the stick is released and
allowed to center, gyro gain is instantaneously restored.
In other words, the pilot assumes control of the channel
by moving the stick and returns control of the channel to
the gyro by releasing the stick. This helps in performing
excellent hammerheads/stall turns, as the gyro is
overridden by the Rudder stick in performing the pivot,
but instantly dampens out any “wiggle” as soon as the
pivot is completed and the Rudder stick is released.
Stick Override Gyro Gain is identical to Fixed Gyro Gain
in all regards except that the control stick(s) progressively
reduces the presently selected gyro gain as the stick(s) is
moved off of center. As mentioned before, it is typically
set up so that when the stick reaches full deflection, the
gyro gain is reduced to zero.
1. To access the Stick Override Gyro Gain feature,
highlight and select GYRO SYS. in the FUNC.LIST.
2. Perform all of the steps outlined for
Fixed Gyro Gain above.
3. Scroll over to and select STICK for each gyro and
select the stick that corresponds with the control
surface being controlled by the gyro. For example,
if AUX2 is controlling the gain for the Rudder gyro,
select RUDD as the stick for AUX2. If AUX3 is
controlling the gyro for Elevator, select ELEV as the
stick for AUX3.
4. Once a stick has been selected, a new set of END
percentages appears on the display— all with a value
of 50%. These new percentages indicate the gyro gain
when the stick is moved to full deflection. If set to 0%,
the gain will be progressively reduced as the stick is
moved off center until it reaches 0% when the stick is
at full deflection.
It is recommended that all END percentages be set to
0% unless there is a specific need to do otherwise. The
default value of all END percentages is 50%. Use the
Selector to highlight and select each END percentage
and set each one to 0%.
