ECHANICS

REPARATIONS

WARNING!

• Newer high end servos and other radio equipment are

capable of placing large demands on the power systems

in use today. When using a regulator you must ensure

that the regulator is capable of delivering the current

demands of the equipment you have selected. In addition

to this make sure the wiring and switch you have

selected are capable of handling high current draws.

• Even though the GY520 is a high performance gyro it will be

necessary to ensure that the helicopter mechanics are also

in optimum operating condition. Please use the guidelines

below and address all issues before installing and test ﬂ ying

the GY520.

• The GY520 must be used with a rigid tail rotor drive system.

Any modern torque tube or belt drive system should be

adequate. Do not attempt to fly the GY520 using a wire

driven tail rotor system.

• Always ensure the drive gears, torque tube, pulleys, belt,

bearings and shafts are in proper working condition. If any of

these items are damaged or worn they must be replaced.

• The linkage rod, tail rotor bell crank, pitch slider and tail

rotor grips must operate without friction to obtain the best

performance from the GY520. If any binding is present it

must be ﬁ xed before the helicopter can be ﬂ own. Binding in

the tail rotor control linkage will decrease the performance of

the GY520 gyro and this may also shorten the servo lifespan.

Please take the time now to ensure the tail rotor system on

your helicopter is working correctly, without friction or binding.

• Vibration will affect the gyro’s overall performance. All

rotating components on the helicopter should be balanced

to minimize vibrations in flight. Ensure that your motor is

running smooth and all vibrations have been addressed

before installing and test ﬂ ying the GY520.
