Electra - For ultimate smooth flying, add a gyro to the ailerons.

  This 6 year old Electra has served us well as an EVF 10S powered demonstrator.  This recent upgrade in technology gives it new life and appeal to customers that are keen on smoothness in flight and a rock solid landing approach and touchdown.

 These items come with your JR 370A when purchased from BVM.

We used the JR 370A (for airplane) Gyro because it is so convenient to mount and adjust for flight and landing.

  This Electra has been guided by an early JR Spektrum 7 radio.  It now sports a Spektrum AR9010X receiver with a JR 12X Transmitter.  The "Gyro Sens" feature allows independent adjustment of gyro gain in the flaps up, flaps at take-off, and flaps set for landing.  Use the JR 370A instructions to properly connect and set-up the gyro. 

These numbers are flight tested in our Electra: flaps up 9%, flaps T.O. 20%, flaps landing 30%.

After test flying yours, you may want to adjust them a bit to fit your preference.

To Mount the gyro: 
Replace the receiver mount with the new 1/8" ply part supplied.  Glue the rectangular part to it as pictured and apply a Zap finish to the forward side.  Then, attach the Gyro with double sided sponge tape and the tie wrap. The forward face of the Gyro should be perpendicular to the central axis of the model. The top edge of the Gyro and its ply mount should be even with the top of the fuse flange.  This allows a 4S 6600mAh battery to be inserted below (for a 12S set-up) and does not interfere with the cockpit deck.

Note:  This package of 370A Gyro and installation parts are available from BVM.
