I am using a 9c with the spectrum conversion. i have an ar 6100 spectrum receiver in heli. I can not get this gyro to go into heading hold to save my life. I've used the gyro sense. setting in radio and i have also used aux. switch and adjusted travel to try to get it into heading hold. What am i doing wrong here? Please give me some advice if you know what i may be doing wrong.
Thanks
Rob

Rob,

I had the same problem with my GY401. I had the sensor wire reversed at the RX. If your GY401 is the same as mine, the sensor wire has a red plug. You want the single (yellow) wire closest to the RX antenna. See photo below:



This was the best picture I could get without tearing the RX out of the heli. As you can see the sensor wire is towards the two antenna. I spent two weeks trying to figure it out. I emailed frineds at Heliproz and even got some advice and from Ray of Ray's Helitech. I had gone through so many things trying to figure it out. Then I noticed the sensor wire. I said to myself it can't be that simple. I switch how I pluged the sensor plug into the the RX, plugged in the battery and it was good to go. Yep, it was that simple. I hope this fixes your problem for you.

Rob,

I just realized you're a fellow Hoosier. I lived in Logansport and Indy for about 18 years. LOL
Small World after all.
Take care.
