WARNING
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe
injury to yourself and others.
• Read through the entire manual before operating this product.
BEFORE EACH FLIGHT:
Always check the transmitter and receiver battery voltage to ensure
they have enough remaining capacity to complete the flight.
Always exit programming mode before attempting to fly the model.
Only use the CGY750 with a 2.4GHz system such as the Futaba
FASST™ system, or a PCM system. Use with an FM system is strongly discouraged since interference can cause serious operational problems.
Gyro operating precautions:
The CGY750 requires 5-10 seconds to initialize when the power
is turned on. Do not move the helicopter and do not move the tail
rotor, aileron and elevator sticks during this initialization or the
gyro may not initialize properly. Once the initialization process
has been completed the swash servos and tail servo will move
several times indicating that the CGY750 is now ready for flight.
Verify that the gyros are operating and compensating in the correct
direction before each flight. If the compensation direction is incorrect
on any axis the model will become uncontrollable after takeoff.
Verify that the gyro is operating in the desired mode.
Verify that the gyro mounting pads are in good condition.
Verify that the gyro wires are not contacting the frame of the helicopter.
The servo type parameters within the CGY750 must match the type
of servo you are using. Incorrect setting may damage the CGY750 or
the servos, possibly resulting in a loss of control during flight.
Always ensure that there is some slack in the gyro cables to help
maximize performance. Always use the supplied gyro mounting pads
to attach the gyro to the helicopter mechanics. Do not use a strap that
encompasses the CGY750 sensor. This may affect the overall performance of the gyro.
Always allow the gyro to adjust to the surrounding environmental
temperature before flight. A large temperature change during use will
cause drift and other operational issues.
The gyro sensor and control box have a electroconductive coating.
Do not allow any power leads or other wiring to come into contact with
these items.
If you are switching between Normal Mode and AVCS Mode in
flight, please keep in mind that you must have the gyro re-learn the
center position after making a trim change within the transmitter.
To memorize the new center position simply flip the gain switch on
the transmitter three times between Normal Mode and AVCS Mode
(NormalAVCSNormalAVCS) within one second. The servo will
center indicating that the new center position has been memorized.
When operating the gyro in AVCS Mode, all compensation and
revolution mixing must be disabled and any tail rotor or swash offsets
for flight modes must be disabled.
When the CGY750 is operated in AVCS mode the tail rotor or
swashplate servos will not center when tail rotor, aileron or rudder
stick is released. This is normal operation for AVCS mode. The servos
may also move to the extent while the model is being carried out to the
flight line. Before take off, you must visually center the tail rotor pitch
slider and level the swash plate by using the transmitter control sticks.
You can also center the servos by moving the tail rotor stick full left, then
full right, back to full left and then allow the stick to center within one
second; the same method applies for aileron and elevator servos.
Do not drop the CGY750 sensor onto a hard surface or subject the
CGY750 sensor to a strong shock as this may damage the sensor.
Always use the supplied mounting pads or the Futaba replacement
mounting pads available from your local Futaba dealer.
Governor operating precautions:
When the throttle servo is connected to the CGY750, the battery fail-
safe function within the CGY750 must be setup and enabled.
Throttle fail safe function (transmitter setting): Use the fail safe function for the channel that turns the governor on and off to set the fail safe
position to the point at which the governor is turned off. With this setting,
when the system enters the fail safe state, the governor will be turned
off, and the receiver throttle signal (fail safe position preset) will be out-
put directly.
When using the condition hold function on the transmitter, always
set the throttle servo maximum operating point to less than the point at
which the governor is activated. If this is not done the governor may activate while in condition hold.
While preparing for flight or starting the engine, always ensure the
throttle remains below the governor activation point and do not select
any flight modes that may activate the governor.
If you prefer to activate the governor while the model is still on the
ground, always ensure that you have at least -5 degrees of pitch in the
model before activating the governor. This negative pitch is necessary
to prevent an unexpected lift off as the governor activates and the head
speed increases to the desired RPM.
Periodically check the RPM sensor output to ensure proper governor
operation. Due to the high level of vibration and centrifugal forces the
magnet may come loose or the sensor alignment may change. Every
10th flight verify that the magnet and sensor are properly mounted.

* The operating voltage shown only applies to the CGY750. Always verify that
your receiver, servos, tail rotor servo, switch and any other electronic components used in your installation are capable of operating at the voltage you plan
to use.
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 supplying 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.
• The servo current draw can be up to 50% higher on a flybar-
less helicopter. Always ensure your receiver battery is fully
charged before each flight.
Even though the CGY750 is a high performance
gyro and governor, 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 flying the CGY750.
• The CGY750 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 CGY750 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 perfor
mance from the CGY750. Binding in the tail rotor control linkage
will decrease the performance of the CGY750 gyro and this may
also shorten the servo lifespan. Please take the time now to en
sure the tail rotor system on your helicopter is working correctly
and without friction or binding.
• Vibration will affect the CGY750’s overall performance. All
rotating components on the helicopter should be balanced
to minimize vibrations in flight. Ensure that your engine or
electric motor is running smoothly and that all vibrations have
been addressed before installing and test flying the CGY750.
Gyro sensor replacement:
• Each CGY750 gyro control box is calibrated specifically for
the gyro sensor included. Do not attempt to use another
CGY750 sensor with the control box as performance will suffer due to being out of calibration. The calibration process
must be completed by an authorized service center.
If your sensor needs replacement, please send the complete
unit to your region’s support center for repair.
The gyro sensor should be mounted on a rigid platform, at least 6in
[152mm] away from a Nitro Engine. It is not necessary to mount
the gyro near the main shaft of the helicopter but it is very important
that the mounting area chosen is rigid. Please refer to your helicopter
manufacturer’s instructions for recommended mounting locations.
Test t the gyro sensor, ensuring that the sensor is in perfect alignment
with the helicopter on the roll and pitch axis. The cable from the gyro
sensor must exit toward the front or the rear of the helicopter since this
is the pitch axis. Any misalignment will cause a loss of performance,
so it is very important to ensure that everything is aligned properly.
Once you are certain everything is properly aligned and that the sensor
lead can be routed to the gyro, go ahead and mount the gyro sensor
to the helicopter using one of the supplied gyro pads. Route the gyro
sensor lead to the CGY750 control box and plug the lead into the gyro
sensor port. Verify that the connector is rmly locked in place.

• Rudder (Yaw) axis
• Aileron (Roll)

Gyro Sensor
Important: The CGY750 gyro sensor must be mounted so that the
roll and pitch sensing axis are in alignment with the helicopter. Any
misalignments over 1/2 of a degree will cause a loss in performance.
Please take extra care in this step to ensure the optimum flight performance.
• The bottom of the CGY750 Gyro
Sensor must be perpendicular to
the main shaft.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If any issues are noted during flight (such as drifting, inconsistent hold
or inconsistent control rates) then please review the following troubleshooting recommendations.
1. Always verify that the tail rotor and swash plate mechanisms operate, and that the drive system is in proper working order.
2. Electromagnetic interference could be causing the problem. If you
feel everything is set up correctly and that the helicopter is vibration
free, then consider moving the gyro sensor to a new location away
from servos, ESC and drive motors.
3. Vibrations will decrease the performance of all gyro systems. Even
though the CGY750 gyro sensor is the most vibration resistant gyro
sensor available, eliminating vibrations will always improve performance. Throughout extensive testing it has been found that the
CGY750 gyro sensor performs best when the sensor is mounted
rigidly to the airframe. This is mainly due to the sensing of all 3
axes. It is highly recommended to avoid using soft foam pads as
this may allow the gyro to bounce around on the roll and pitch axis,
causing instabilities and possible loss of control during flight.
• The roll axis must be parallel to
the tail boom and the pitch axis
must be perpendicular to the side
frame.

Connection to the receiver, servos and sensors
The CGY750 requires an S.BUS receiver or the optional PWM Receiver to S.BUS adapter available separately.
Using the supplied extension connect the S.BUS receiver port (or from
the S.BUS PWM adapter) to the CGY750 S.BUS port. Install your
receiver battery, regulator, switch and any other necessary electronics
now. Connect the power lead of your switch / regulator to the battery
connector on the receiver.
Plug the cyclic servos (AIL-[Aileron], ELE-[Elevator], PIT [Pitch],
RUD [Tail Rotor] and if using the H4xx swash plate type TH/E2[Elevator 2]) into the appropriate port on the CGY750.
Determine the best location to place the receiver and CGY750 control
box. Mount the receiver and the CGY750 control box to the helicopter mechanics using vibration adsorbing self adhesive foam pads. The
CGY750 gyro sensor will be installed in a later step.
Using wire mounts, wiring xtures molded into the helicopter, or hook
and loop material, route the servo leads and extensions. Make sure the
wires are not rubbing against metal or carbon ber which may damage
the wires.
S.BUS channel setting
Since the S.BUS protocol uses a single wire to transmit all channel
information to the CGY750 it is necessary to assign each channel
number (1 through 16) a function (such as aileron, pitch, collective,
gain, ail gain, ele gain, rpm, gv on/off) within the CGY750 control
box. The default CGY750 S.BUS channel assignments should work
properly with most Futaba transmitters. If you experience any problems please refer to the S.BUS section of the manual to set/verify each
channel number for each function.
Installing the Sensor Connector
WARNING
You will feel resistance at two points
when inserting the connector. Make sure
:
that you plug in the connector completely,
or connection problems may result.
Your transmitter
should be reset
to the default
settings and the
Swash Type
swash plate type
selected with the
transmitter should
H-1
be set to Normal
(H-1) or single
servo mode. All
CCPM mixing is set up and handled
with the CGY750, and the transmitter
functions should not be used. Before
starting helicopter set-up, be sure
that all dual rates, pitch curve, and
endpoint values are set to 100/100.
If your transmitter does not offer enough channels to operate all of the
CGY750’s functions, it is possible to operate the CGY750 without the
GV On/Off, Ail Gain, and Ele Gain channels connected. When any these
functions are not used, it is necessary to set the channel number to [INH]
within the CGY750’s S.BUS menu to disable the function and to use the
setting value inside the CGY750 menu instead.
When the GV On/Off channel is not used, the governor on/off control is
handled by the [Stick Switch] function.
When the remote Ail or Ele Gain channels are not used, the operating
mode (NOR/AVCS) and gain value can be set in the appropriate AIL /
ELE Basic menu option by using the Data +/- keys when the function is
displayed.
Using the CGY750 with a electric helicopter
DANGER
It is necessary to remove the pinion gear from the electric motor
or disconnect the motor from the ESC before powering the model
up for setup or bench testing. Electric motors are extremely powerful and capable of delivering the power instantly, causing injury
to yourself, others, or the surroundings.
If the CGY750 is being installed into an electric helicopter and the
ESC’s own internal governor is to be used, you may want to consider
connecting the ESC to the [TH/E2] (throttle / elevator 2) output of the
CGY750. Before doing this you must remove the pinion gear from
the electric motor or disconnect the motor from the ESC before powering the model up the rst time. Once the model has been powered up,
navigate to the gyro mode function and set it to [GYRO+THR]. This
sets the CGY750 to act as a gyro and throttle output. The CGY750
will simply pass the throttle signal from the receiver through to the
TH/E2 port on the CGY750.
Once your ESC is connected to the CGY750, you must complete all
necessary transmitter setup (ATV / EPA / REV / ETC) per your ESC
instructions. Please refer to the end of this manual for further suggestions for the use of the CGY750’s governor with electric powered
models.

TX Set-up
Condition selection
Condition selection incorporates two adjustable values for a given
parameter (displayed c1/c2). This is dictated by the digital channel
number “1” within the Function Menu of your transmitter (DG1). Assigning DG1 to a switch or ight mode allows the use of two separate
variables on the condition selectable parameters.
Rotor Head Gyro Gain “RotHd.Gn”
In the SBUS menu assigning “RotHd.GN” to a channel will allow the
Rotor head gain to be adjusted via the TX. If you are using a 6CH or
less TX, setting “RotHd.Gn” to “INH” will then default the gain to
“BaseGain” in the Flight Tuning menu. Suggested setting and default
is CH9.
Tail Rotor Gain “RGn”
In the SBUS menu assigning “RGn” to a free TX channel will allow
for the tail rotor gain to be adjusted via the TX. Suggested setting and
default is CH5.
Note - Before starting helicopter set-up, be sure that all dual rates,
pitch curve, and endpoint values are set to 100/100.
OVERNOR INSTALLATION

Modify the cooling fan and install the accessory magnet and attach the
magnetic sensor to the engine at the position shown below. Balance
the cooling fan as needed following magnet installation.
Cooling fan
Magnet (Embedded in cooling fan.)
Sensor (Attached to engine flange
through a stay.)
When installing the sensor magnet to the mufer side, also refer
to the needle side mounting.
If the cooling fan is unbalanced and vibrates, etc., balance it by mounting
the spare magnet to the opposite side of the cooling fan in the opposite
polarity (so that it does not output a signal).
Sensor mounting
The sensor mounting method depends on the helicopter and engine.
Mount the sensor to the sensor stay. (Temporary assembly)
Drill a hole in the fan cover at the part corresponding to
the sensor so that the distance between the sensor and
magnet can be made 1 to 2mm.
Tighten the sensor stay together with the engine mounting
ange. (Temporary assembly)
Select the mounting method so that the sensor does not
touch the frame, or other parts of the helicopter. Temporarily mount the sensor and select the magnet mounting position.
Install the sensor to the sensor stay using the accessory
screws and washers.
Tighten the sensor stay together with the engine using the
engine mount screw.
Sensor adjustment
Adjust the sensor position to obtain a sensor output of at least 60% in the

OVERNOR FUSELAGE SETTING PRECAUTIONS
G
Throttle servo linkage precautions
To effectively use the governor, observe the following precautions
when connecting the servo linkage.
Make the servo operating range as wide as possible. Make the throw of
the transmitter EPA (ATV) function and AFR function as close as possible
to 100%.
Fly with the governor turned OFF and adjust the needle so that the engine
smoothly reacts to movement of the transmitter stick.
If there is a point at which the reaction of the engine is considerably dif-
ferent due to a too rich or too lean mixture, the governor may not operate
to its maximum potential.
Fuselage vibration countermeasures
If the helicopter frame is weak, or the engine mount is deformed or not
installed properly, the vibrations applied by the engine will increase.
Engine vibrations will lead to unstable speed and prevent the governor
from providing maximum performance. Therefore, make sure that the
engine is vibration free and that the carburetor provides linear throttle
control because the governor cannot correct engine problems.
Use of a tuned silencer
The use of a tuned pipe type silencer may cause the engine throttle
response to be substantially different from that of a normal mufer.
Adjust the needle (and pipe length) so that engine speed changes are
proportional to the throttle opening. The governor will not perform
satisfactorily with a mufer or a pipe that does not allow the carburetion to be linear.

Verify that all of the connections are correct between the CGY750, receiver, and power supply. If your helicopter is using an electric motor
for propulsion, remove the pinion gear now for safety.
If this is the rst time the helicopter has been powered up, remove the
servo arms and linkages to prevent damaging the servos if any binding
is present. Power up the transmitter and allow it to initialize. Turn
the receiver on or connect the ight battery and allow the helicopter to
remain motionless while the CGY750 initializes.
The display will rst show the ID number of your CGY750 and the
Firmware Version.
After the CGY750 has powered up the screen will change to show an
animation of a helicopter performing a stationary ip. This indicates
that the initialization process is taking place. The helicopter must remain perfectly still so the controller can determine the gyro’s center
position for each axis.
Once the initialization process has been completed the Home Screen
will be displayed and the cyclic + tail rotor servos will move several
times in quick succession.
If the CGY750 is set to the [Gyro+THR] mode or if the H4-xx swash
plate type has been selected then the governor will be disabled and the
screen will look like (d) below instead. The display will cycle through

The display indicates either [A] for AVCS or [N] for Normal operating modes. If the [A] is shown in inverted colors then the rudder
neutral is offset and re-learning the center position should be completed immediately.
RUD AVCS Mode
at 100% gain
When using the AVCS operating mode, the servos will not re-center when
the control stick is released. If you need to center the servo, you can move
the appropriate control stick to its full extent (left & right or up & down)
twice and allow the control stick to return to center within a one second period of time, and the servo(s) for that axis will return to center position.
For example if you move the tail rotor stick full left, full right, full left, full
right and allow it to come back to center within one second, then the display
will change to show [--------], and the tail rotor servo will center.

Since S.BUS sends all 18 channels (may be limited by your transmitter) over a single wire, it is necessary to assign a CGY750 function (such as
AIL, ELE or PIT) to each channel. The channel assignments are performed within the [S.BUS].Basic menu.
If a function is not going to be used, then it must be set to [INH]. For example, if the AGN and EGN remote gain functions are not going to be used,
then set them to [INH] and the CGY750 will then allow you to make gain adjustments within the respective menu.

Swash Servo installation
Determine which of the swash plate types shown match your helicopter
and install the swash plate servos per the diagram and per your helicopter’s instruction manual.
Your transmitter should be reset to the default settings and the swash plate
type selected with the transmitter should be set to Normal (H-1) or single
servo mode. All CCPM mixing is set up and handled with the CGY750,
and the transmitter functions should not be used. The expo function and
dual rates can be used with the transmitter but everything related to the
CCPM mixing should be set up and handled by the CGY750. Set your
transmitter AFR, ATV and D/R (Swash functions) to 100% initially for
setup, and all subtrims should be set to 0.
Power up your transmitter and helicopter. Allow the CGY750 to initial-
ize. Use the CGY750 [SWASHset Basic].
Navigate to the Servo Type parameter on the CGY750 and select the servo
type that matches your servo manufacturer’s recommendations. If there
is any doubt, select the analog servo type to prevent damaging the servos
and check with your servo’s manufacturer to determine the proper type.
Navigate to the [SWASHset Basic] AIL.Ntr setting at this time. The
AIL,ELE, or PIT.Ntr setting screens will each disable the gyros and cause
the cyclic servos to remain in the center position. If you are using an
electric motor, then it will be necessary to remove the pinion gear now or
disconnect the motor from the ESC. Once you are certain that the drive
motor cannot apply power to the main rotor blades, temporarily install
servo arms onto the servos. Slowly move the collective stick towards
positive collective and verify that each servo is moving the proper direction to increase collective pitch. If the servos do not move in unison to
maintain a level swashplate with a collective pitch input, choose another
servo combination option from the ServoDir Comb# menu.
Once the servos are operating in the correct direction for the collective
control (positive and negative), the next step is to slowly move the collective stick to the center position (verify within your transmitter’s servo
Display or Monitor function if possible). This will be considered the 0
collective position for setup. Temporarily install the servo arms onto the
cyclic servos and ensure that the servos are perfectly level. Small adjustments can be made using the [SWASHset Basic] → AIL/ELE/PIT.Ntr
adjustment for each servo if necessary. Mount the linkage ball onto the
servo arm per your helicopter’s instruction manual and install the servo
retention screw onto each servo. Remember to use loctite on these screws
if your servos have metal output gears.
Move the forward / aft cyclic stick forward and verify that the swash plate
tilts forward. If the swash plate tilts the wrong direction, then it will be
necessary to reverse the sign of the [SWASHset Basic] ELE.Dir parameter
(for example +50 would become -50). Move the left / right cyclic stick to
the right and verify that the swash plate tilts to the right. If the swash plate
tilts left, then reverse the sign of the [SWASHset Basic] AIL.Dir parameter.If the collective pitch movement is opposite to the transmitter input
(positive stick input yields negative collective on the model), reverse the
direction using SWS.Dir PIT.
As a nal check, verify that the swash plate moves in the proper direction
per your stick movements for the roll, pitch and collective functions.
Navigate to the [SWASHset Basic] → SWS.Rate parameter. This will
disable the gyros and cause the servos to remain centered during set up.
Using a pitch gauge, ensure that the swash plate is perfectly level and that
the main rotor blades are at 0 degrees pitch when the collective stick is
centered. Make any mechanical adjustments as needed to achieve 0 degrees of pitch on both main rotor blades.
Rotate the main rotor blade with the pitch gauge so that it is aligned with
the tail boom. Apply full right cyclic on the transmitter and measure how
much pitch is on the blade. At least 9 degrees of cyclic pitch should be
set. Adjust the value of the [SWASHset] → Basic → SWS.Rate parameter
until at least 9 degrees of cyclic pitch is achieved.
OR…….Rotate the main rotor blade so that it is perpendicular to the tail
boom and apply full aft cyclic. Adjust the [SWASHset] → Basic → SWS.
Rate parameter until at least 9 degrees of cyclic is achieved.
Using the pitch gauge, adjust the collective range per your preference or
per your helicopter’s instruction manual.
All of the AFR, ATV and D/Rs for the cyclic and collective functions
within the radio should be set to 100%. At this point the basic setup is
complete, but it is necessary to set up the gyros and compensation directions before attempting to y the model.
Navigate to the AGy.Dir and EGy.Dir parameters in the [Swashset Basic]
menu.
These parameters control which direction the CGY750 (roll / pitch axis)
will compensate when the helicopter rolls (pitches). Pick the helicopter
up and roll the helicopter to the right. The CGY750 should compensate
by adding left cyclic to the swash plate. (Pick the helicopter up and rotate
the nose of the helicopter downward. The CGY750 should compensate by
adding aft cyclic to the swash plate.) If the CGY750 compensates in the
wrong direction, reverse the Compensation Direction setting by pressing
the DATA [+] or [-] key once.
Check the cyclic and collective movements for interactions and if any are
noted please refer to the Swash Plate Adjustment (Linkage Compensation)
procedure listed within the back of this manual. When using modern digital servos and with a proper setup, adjustments required will be minimal
if any at all. Sometimes mechanical design aws or mistakes within the
setup will cause interactions, and it is best to remove these before ight.
ILERON / ELEVATOR GYRO SETUP
A
Finishing the setup:
Using the Remote Gain Functions (roll, pitch and yaw)
1. Some Futaba transmitters contain auxiliary gain functions for aileron,
elevator and yaw. Please refer to your transmitter’s instruction manual.
Assign the GYR, GYR(AIL) and GYR(ELE) channels within the transmitter. Within the CGY750 [S.BUS] Basic menu→Rotor Head Gyro Gain
“RotHd.Gn” – In the SBUS menu assigning “RotHd.GN” to a channel
will allow the Rotor head gain to be adjusted via the TX. If you are using
a 6CH or less TX, setting “RotHd.Gn” to “INH” will then default the gain
to “BaseGain” in the Flight Tuning menu. Suggested setting and default
is CH9. Tail Rotor Gain “RGn” – In the SBUS menu assigning “RGn” to
a free TX channel will allow for the tail rotor gain to be adjusted via the
TX. Suggested setting and default is CH5.
2. The gyro function within your transmitter should list all three gain channels. Adjustments can be made from within this function. The gyro function can usually be assigned to various switches or conditions to offer
greater adjustability. Please refer to your transmitter’s instruction manual
for further details.
3. Initially the AIL and ELE gains should be set to 60% and the operating
mode should be set to [NOR]. Once the trim process has been completed,
the ight mode should be changed over to [AVCS]. When the AIL and
ELE gyros are in CMT mode, [NOR] versus [AVCS] may be selected
in the gyro menu in the transmitter (Futaba transmitters). Alternatively,
[NOR] versus [AVCS] may be manually selected in the CGY750.
Setting the CGY750 gains by using endpoints or manual adjustments
WARNING
Verify that the gyro compensates in the correct direction for all
three axes before flight. If the compensation direction is incorrect,
the model will roll, flip, or pirouette uncontrollably even before it
leaves the ground.
1. If your transmitter does not support the remote gain adjustment it is still
possible to use spare channel on the transmitter to make the adjustments.
Assign unused channel (verify that these channels are not assigned or
operated by a switch or dial) within the transmitter. Set the [S.BUS.
Basic] → “RotHd.Gn” channels to the appropriate channel. Use the end
point adjustment within your transmitter for these channels to make the
gain adjustments and the reverse function within the transmitter to set the
mode [AVCS/NOR]. Conditions with the transmitter may also be used
to achieve different gains based upon ight modes. Please refer to your
transmitter’s instruction manual for further details.
Manual gain adjustment
1. If your setup does not leave any channels free or if your transmitter does
not support auxiliary gain adjustment, then it is possible to adjust the gain
manually within the CGY750. Set both the [S.BUS].Basic → RotHd.
Gn to [INH]. The gain adjustments are now made by entering the [Flight
Tuning] → Base Gain and pressing the data [+] or [-] keys.

Data (+/-) key to keep the swash plate position the same as middle during elevator inputs.
Note – check all four directions: high/back; high/forward; low/back; low/forward.
(14) Compensation direction of the elevator [default: plus]
If the above Data (+/-) correction from 0-100 is NOT in the correct compensation direction, change the

For 120 degree CCPM all servos do not travel the same distance on elevator input. After setting the
ELE-PIT and ELE-AIL parameters if during FAST movement of the elevator axis the swash plate is
not staying level, use the Data (+/-) key to match all servo speeds (+ will slow the elevator servo – will
reduce speed comp on elevator servo)
Using the Data (+/-) key electronically add rotor head phasing to the swash plate controls. If possible,
it is recommended to use mechanical phasing adjustment, but if the rotor head does not allow this and
you feel that the model is NOT flying axially on each control input, using this function can be used to
adjust the pure reaction of each axis in flight. (Typically advanced phasing on clockwise rotor disk –
and a slight clockwise increase in swashplate alignment vs rotor axle – is used to create a axial reaction, vice versa for a counterclockwise rotor disk model.)
(17) Data reset
This resets all of the Swashplate parameters back to the default values. Press the data [+] key

INKAGE COMPENSATION
L
The following section describes in detail the adjustment of the Linkage Compensation Menu to virtually eliminate an interactions present
in the eCCPM model.
*Prior to making any adjustments within this menu, the aileron, elevator and
pitch movement should be set to full travel in the transmitter (AFR/dual rates
set to 100%).
Pitch calibration (This should be set prior to the compensation process)
This parameter reads the collective pitch operation ranges to the CGY750.
Move the collective stick to center position (Pitch zero point). Open the
Pit.Zero on the SWASHset Expert menu and push the set button. The pitch
zero point is memorized to the CGY750.
Move the collective stick to minimum position. Open the Pit.Low menu
and push the set button. The minimum pitch position is memorized.
Move the collective stick to maximum position. Open the Pit.High menu
and push the set button. The maximum pitch position is memorized.
Pitch movement calibration
Make sure the swash plate is level when the collective stick is center posi-
tion at rst. Adjust the length of the linkage rods so that the swash plate is
level.
Move the collective stick to maximum position. Make sure if the swash
plate is level by adjust if needed using the PIT→AIL and/or PIT→ELE
mixing rate in the SWASHset Expert menu. Move the collective stick to
minimum position and once again use the mixing rates to achieve a level
swashplate.
Aileron movement calibration
Move the collective stick to center position. Move the aileron stick right
and left.
When a left or right AIL command is input, you may observe an
AIL→PIT interaction. Adjust the AIL→PIT mixing rate in the
SWASHset Expert menu to minimize the interaction. The mixer should be
adjusted for both left and right AIL directions.
Move the collective stick to the maximum position. Open the SWcp.AIL
on the SWASHset Expert menu. Move the aileron stick left and right.
Adjust the SWcp.AIL rate in the SWASHset Expert menu to be minimize
any interaction present similar to those observed for AIL inputs at half
collective.
If the interaction is increased when increasing the SWcp.AIL rate, the
compensation direction is reversed. Open the CpA.Dir menu and set the
direction to minus.
Mixing rates for both left and right aileron should be adjusted. Move the
collective stick to minimum position. Adjust SWcp.AIL rate the same as
was done for maximum collective pitch.
Elevator movement calibration
Move the collective stick to the center position. Move the elevator stick
up and down.
Adjust the ELE→PIT and/or ELE→AIL mixing rates in the SWASH-
set Expert menu to minimize any observed interactions. When an UP or
DOWN ELE command is input, you may observe an ELE→AIL interaction. You can see this interaction, if present, by precisely positioning the
main rotor blades in line with the tail boom. When an ELE command is
input, adjust the ELE→AIL mixing rate until the blades do not move.
The mixing rates should be adjusted for both up and down directions.
Move the collective stick to maximum position. Open the SWcp.ELE in
the SWASHset Expert menu. Move the elevator stick up and down. Adjust
the SWcp.ELE rate in the SWASHset Expert menu to minimize the interaction between ele input and pit and/or ail.
In case of the interaction is increased when increasing the SWcp.ELE rate,
the compensation direction is reversed. Open the CpE.Dir menu and set
the direction to minus. Mixing rates for up and down elevator should be
adjusted. Move the collective stick to minimum position. Adjust SWcp.
ELE rate same as was done for maximum collective pitch.
Open the SpeedCmp on the SWASHset Expert menu. Move the eleva-
tor stick up and down quickly and look for what is best described as a
ELE→PIT interaction or “wiggle” in the swashplate. The faster your servos, the less the wiggle. Adjust the SpeedCmp rate as needed to minimize
this interaction.

Push
MODE
+/– key
(1) Start display
The editing menus are scrolled by pushing the MODE+ or – key.
(2) Gyro base gain setting [default: 100% ranges: 0~150%]
This sets the Cyclic Gyro Base Gain. If the aileron and elevator Gain Channels are set to [INH]
within the CGY750 [S.BUS]->Basic setting menu, then the remote transmitter gain adjustment is not available. Thus the actual working gain for the cyclic gyros is set by using data [+]
or [-] keys within this parameter.
Set to 100, a TX Gain value of 100% will display 100% on the CGY750. If a pilot is in need
of more gain, base gain can be increased to allow the gain on the CGY750 to be higher than
100%.
Note – if using a 6CH or less TX base gain is equivalent to the rotor head gain and can be
adjusted manually on the gyro instead of via TX.
Cyclic rate sets the maximum cyclic pitch and roll rate (d/s) as limited by the model’s ability
to reach that set rate. Pitch and roll rates are set together with this single parameter.
Tune the exponential as desired to soften or sharpen the feel of the cyclic controls around
center stick. NEGATIVE values soften control feel; POSITIVE values sharpen control
feel. Note that any exponential present in the TRANSMITTER adds to the value set in the
CGY750. It is suggested that the exponential function in the CGY750 be used primarily to
tune for a linear control feel, and that has been the goal of the default setting. From there if
the pilot wishes to soften or sharpen the feel of the model around center cyclic stick, then
the transmitter’s exponential function would best be used.

(5) Control Authority Aileron [default: 40% ranges: 0~100%]
Aileron Control Authority changes the rate at which the gyro will try to achieve the set angular
rate. A higher value will create a quicker accelerated reaction to a stick input to reach and
stabilize to the CYC Rate value; a lower value will reach the desired CYC Rate slower and
accelerate slower to the desired angular rate. (Note – Setting this value too high could lead
to a jerky feeling when making FAST stick corrections, a value too low will give you the
impression the model is not following the pilot’s stick inputs. Values of 30-70 are useful for most
helicopters.
(6) Control Authority Elevator [default: 40% ranges: 0~100%]
Elevator Control Authority changes the rate at which the gyro will try to achieve the set
angular rate. A higher value will create a quicker accelerated reaction to a stick input to
reach and stabilize to the CYC Rate value; a lower value will reach the desired CYC Rate
slower and accelerate slower to the desired angular rate. (Note – Setting this value too high
could lead to a jerky feeling when making FAST stick corrections, a value too low will give
you the impression the model is not following the pilot’s stick inputs. Values of 30-70 are
useful for most helicopters.
(7) Flight style [default: 50n ranges: 0~100n]
Increasing this value will create a more robotic reaction to the stick, leaving the pilot with the
impression that the model is locked into in a position after an input. It will also tend to have a
more calculated feeling when making inputs.
-Lowering the value will make the model feel more fluid and easy to rotate with the stick input. The model will feel a little more effortless during faster cyclic movements and direction
changes.
(8) Elevator pre compensation [default: 0 ranges: 0~100%]
On a clockwise rotating disk naturally the helicopter will want to pull the nose towards the
rotor disk with positive blade pitch and push the nose away with negative pitch. In an instance of a slower servo set-up or larger (heavier) rotor blades, a small amount of elevator
pre compensation may be needed to keep the nose of the helicopter flat at all times during
collective pitch changes. In MOST cases with helicopter high speed servos and standard 3D
rotor blades this function is not needed. If you do notice a slight tendency that the nose is
trying to lift or fall, increasing ELE COMP will reduce the chance of this flight behavior.
(9) High pitch authority [default: 0% ranges: 0~100%]
When a rotor blades angle of attack is increased, the rotor blade becomes less reactive, in
turn the helicopter might not feel as reactive at high pitch angles. If you want to increase the
reaction of the cyclic during loaded and high pitch maneuvers, HP AUTH will increase control authority and can be used to make the helicopter feel more linear under loading. Some
helicopters with direct link CCPM may use this to increase stability at high collective pitch
flying as well. If a helicopter feels good for normal flying, but not the same during loaded
situations, HP Authority can be used to make it feel more linear. If HP Authority is set very
high, the helicopter will feel more aggressive at high pitch than around neutral.

AIL ROTOR GYRO SET UP AND RUDDER BASIC SETTING
T
Following your transmitter instructions, program your transmitter
as follows:
Enable the rudder gyro function within the transmitter.
Set the gyro mode to AVCS (GY) within the transmitter.
Set the remote gyro gain to 75% AVCS in the transmitter for the Normal
and Hold ight conditions and use 50% AVCS for all idle up conditions.
See “Setting the Gain” section later in this manual for more details.
Set the Tail Rotor ATV/EPA to 100% for both left and right.
Set D/R to 75% for both left and right. This will reduce the maximum
pirouette rate. Make adjustments to these values once the initial test ight
has been completed. Never use transmitter endpoint adjustments/ATV to
adjust pirouette rate.
It is recommended that you run 30% softening expo on the tail rotor channel.
WARNING
Do not connect the tail rotor servo to the gyro until the servo type
has been selected. Operating the servo using the incorrect setting may
damage the CGY750 or the servo.

The [RUD.Gyro].Basic menu contains all of the functions necessary
to setup the CGY750 tail gyro for operation.
Remove all of the servo arms (cyclic servos and tail rotor servo) and
linkages from the servo to prevent any possible damage. All analog
servos must also be disconnected until the servo type has been set up
within the CGY750. Power the system up and allow the CGY750 to
initialize.
Plug your tail rotor servo into the rudder slot in the CGY750 control
box. Install the servo arm, ensuring that the control ball linkage is
perfectly perpendicular to the tail rotor push rod. Conrm that the direction of rudder servo movement with stick input is correct. Use your
transmitter’s servo reverse function if needed to achieve the correct
movement.
Install the servo arm screw and place the linkage onto the control ball
on the servo arm. Remember to use loctite on this screw if your servo
has a metal output/nal gear.
WARNING
Read your servo instruction sheet to de-
termine the proper servo settings. The servo type parameter within the CGY750 must

DATA
(3) Gyro direction [default: Normal]
This parameter controls which direction the CGY750 (yaw axis) will compensate when the
helicopter rotates. Hold the tail rotor linkage over the linkage ball on the servo, pick the
helicopter up by the main shaft and rotate the mechanics counter-clockwise. The CGY750
should compensate by adding clockwise rotation pitch to the tail rotor blades. If the CGY750
compensates by adding counter-clockwise rotation pitch to the tail rotor blades, then it will be
necessary to reverse the Compensation Direction setting by pressing the [+] or [-] data key.
WARNING
Verify that the tail gyro compensates in the correct direction before flight. If the compen-
sation direction is incorrect the model will pirouette uncontrollably at lift off.
Follow step (4) [RUD.Gyro] → Sv.Limit to set the endpoint travel for each direction, ensuring no binding is present.
When the CGY750 is in the Sv.Limit parameter the gyro will no longer operate and the tail
servo will always center when the tail rotor stick is released.
Always exit setup functions before attempting to fly the model. Before each flight always ensure that the gyros are operating and compensating in the correct direction.
The Servo Limit parameter within the CGY750 is used to set the mechanical limits for the tail
rotor servo. To obtain the best performance it is recommended to set the limit in the CGY750
to 100% for both directions and then adjust the servo arm length to set the mechanical endpoints. After that has been completed use the servo limit parameter to make small adjustments that could not be made mechanically. Values between 90% and 110% are considered
optimal. Navigate to the [RUD.Gyro].Basic →Sv.Limit menu and slowly move the rudder
stick to the left or to the right maximum extent and use the data [+] or [-] key to increase or
decrease the maximum throw respectively. Ensure that the pitch slider does not exceed the

OVERNOR SPEED SETTING
G
The CGY750’s rpm selection is accomplished by setting the channel in the section
(10) “Revolution channel” menu within the “S.BUS Basic Setting” to the governor speed setting channel of your system. When using an independent governor
on/off switch, activate the section (6) “Governor on/off switch” function within
the “Governor Basic Setting” section earlier in this manual.
Direct set by transmitter on Gov. mixing
When governor mixing is used to switch the RPM of the rotor head speed,
the head speed can be switched with each condition or the switch.
*For a description of the governor mixing, refer to your transmitter’s man-
ual.
Using by 3position switch
Set the RPM at each switch position in the “(2) Revolution setting” menu
within the “Governor Basic Setting” section earlier in this manual.
Speed setting precautions
• When the speed setting channel travel (EPA, ATV, AFR) is set to 20%
or less, points 1 and 3 cannot be set.
• The engine maximum speed range limits the maximum speed setting.
• Test fly the helicopter with the governor turned off and tach the main
rotor R.P.M. while in horizontal flight. This is the maximum R.P.M. that
can be achieved with the engine and pitch setup that you are using.
Please set the governor maximum speed to approximately 50 R.P.M.’s
less than max R.P.M. (Example: If 1800 R.P.M.’s is max, then set governor to 1750)
• The maximum speed can be verified at the MAX. speed display. However, this value could reflect an unlocked main rotor condition and
would thus be inaccurate.
Reference
The transmitter ATV/EPA function can also be used to change the point 1 and
point 3 speed settings to a certain extent. The amount of this change is proportional to the difference between the point 1 and point 3 set speed and the
point 2 set speed. For example, if point 1 is set to 1300rpm and point 2 is set
to 1500rpm, and the transmitter ATV is changed from 20 to 100%, the point 1
speed will change from 1460 to 1300rpm. The transmitter ATV function has
very little effect on the point 2 speed setting. The speed changes linearly on a
line connecting points 1, 2, and 3.

channel travel
Governor operation
The CGY750 operates from 700 to 4000rpm main rotor speed. However, the
engine must be running at the set speed. The CGY750 turns off the governor
when the engine is starting or idling.
* Governor operation: Operation that stabilizes the engine speed at the set
speed.
Condition of the governor to be on
For safety purposes, the governor is turned on when the conditions below are
satised.
The on/off switch conditions are set to off during power on.
The stick switch is in the on position when it is used.
The on/off switch is in the on position when it is used.
Setting speed is not off.
The engine speed exceeds to 60 % of the setting speed.
The speed sensor is working properly.
The following operations do not indicate trouble:
When engine speed rises above the set speed:
A near-vertical dive may cause the engine speed to exceed the set speed.
Throttle operation speed and ON/OFF point:
If throttle operation exceeds 60% of the set speed and the rotor speed rises
to the set value, the ON/OFF point may seem to differ with the operating
speed. Delay operation to smooth the switching operation causes this and
does not mean that the ON/OFF point has changed.
Deviation from set speed:
The CGY750 stabilizes the engine speed to within ±1% of the set speed. For
example, if the rotor R.P.M. is set to 1500rpm, the Rotor R.P.M. speed will
deviate about ±15rpm. However, this poses no problem from the standpoint
of practical use.
WARNING
Safety reminder: Remember to configure your transmitter fail safe
settings for not only the throttle channel but also governor ON/OFF
channel to ensure the governor correctly disengages should the radio
enter fail safe.

Make sure the gyro is rmly mounted to the helicopter.
Verify that the gyro wiring has some slack in it and all wires are clear of

Check and verify that the servo type parameter is set correctly for the tail
rotor and cyclic servos.
Verify that all of the servo arm screws are installed.
Ensure that the cyclic and tail rotor servos do not bind when moved to the
full extent of the throw.
Verify that the gyro is operating in the correct mode [AVCS or Normal]
and that the gains are properly set.
Test all controls and verify that they move in the correct direction.
Verify that the gyro compensates in the correct direction for all three axis
before ight. If the compensation direction is incorrect the model will roll,
ip, or pirouette uncontrollably, at a very high rate.
DJUSTMENTS DURING THE TEST FLIGHT
A
WARNING
Always level the swashplate using the cyclic stick before applying
throttle and spooling the main rotor blades up. During takeoff small
corrections may be necessary. If you make large corrections while the
helicopter is on the ground, it may tip over since the helicopter is firmly
on the ground and the gyros are overcompensating due to the lack of
movement.
Some helicopters may have a tendency to resonate/shake during
spool up. Always leave the helicopter on the ground until this resonance or shaking goes away. If this issue continues, it is recommended to try some rubber skid stops or take off from a softer surface such
as grass. Vibrations contribute to this ground resonance. Verify that
everything on your model is balanced correctly.
* When the CGY750 is used with a ESC or BEC and a power switch is
not used there is a possibility that the intermittent connection as you
connect the flight battery may cause the CGY750 initialization to fail.
Always ensure that the gyro has initialized properly by verifying that
the gyros are compensating as the helicopter is moved. It is recommended to use a power switch on the power supply line to avoid this
possibility.

Page 21
Trim ight:
A trim ight should be performed on a new setup or when making setup changes to the mechanical adjustments on the helicopter.
1. Verify that the AIL and ELE gyros are set to 50% gain and the Normal
operating mode. Take the model off into a hover and use the transmitter
trim tabs to trim the model during ight. The most accurate trim ight is
accomplished in calm wind conditions.
2. Once the model is trimmed out, land the model and shut the engine off.
Move the gyro gain switch from Normal to AVCS mode 3 times in a
second. Make sure the neutral positions for both aileron and elevator are
memorized. Do not center the trims after memorizing their positions into
the CGY750.
*If your gyro gain switch is on the ight mode switch, perform the trim
ight and land the model. Shut the engine off and change the CGY750
operating mode to AVCS. Now turn the CGY750 off and back on. The
neutral positions for both aileron and elevator will be memorized.
*Manual Gain Adjustment: Perform the trim flight and land the model.
Shut the engine off. Change the CGY750 operating mode to AVCS. Now
turn the CGY750 off and back on. The neutral positions for both aileron
and elevator will be memorized.
3. After the trim ight, change the gyro operating mode to AVCS and test y
the model again. Increase the gain on the aileron and elevator gyro until
you notice a oscillation, then decrease the gain slightly. Keep the AIL and
ELE gyro gains set to the same value.
*In case of lack of the channel for gyro gain setting on the transmitter, ad-
just the gyro gain on the CGY750.
Rudder gyro adjustments:
The tail rotor/rudder AFR or D/R function within the transmitter is used to
adjust the pirouette rate of the helicopter to suit your requirments. Do NOT
use ATV or rudder channel travel adjustment for this purpose. For optimum
performance, the tail rotor should be trimmed in Normal/Rate mode as closely as possible with adjustments to the tail rotor pushrod length before nalizing with transmitter trim and then memorizing that value into the CGY750.
The tail rotor gyro gain should be raised until the tail begins to oscillate
quickly (also called tail “wag”). Once this point has been achieved, reduce
the gain as needed a few percent at a time to eliminate the oscillation. Repeat
the process for all ight conditions. The main rotor speed, tail rotor ratio, tail
rotor pitch range and tail blade length play a large part in achieving optimum
tail rotor performance. The gain value can vary drastically from model to
model, and the exact value should not play a part in the evaluation of the
gyro’s performance.
UNING GUIDELINES FOR CGY 750
T
V2 rmware for the CGY750 has been exhaustively tested to NOT require
tuning of numerous parameters to achieve good ying erformance. Nonetheless, the wide variations in model, blade, and radio equipment types may
dictate the need for a small amount of ne tuning to yield the best model performance.
Static cyclic pitch should be measured in the SWS.Rate section of the
SWASHset BASIC menu ONLY. Suggested cyclic pitch range should be at
least 9-10 degrees on each side of neutral with an acceptable working range for
the SWS.rate of 50-70%. Cyclic pitch ranges in excess of 10 (maximum of 12)
degrees within this 50-70% range are not problematic as long as no swashplate
or other linkage binding occurs. Previous recommendations of 8-9 degrees of
cyclic pitch are not applicable to this rmware and will yield inadequate cyclic
rate and poor performance. Use your transmitter’s AIL and ELE AFR’s or dual
rates to ne tune cyclic rates to your needs. Observed cyclic travel when the
CGY750 is NOT in the SWS.Rate menu will be several degrees more than the
measured static pitch.
Total gyro (transmitter) gain for AIL and ELE should initially be set to 5060%. It is also suggested that the gyro gains for AIL and ELE be set to matching percentages. AIL.Sepa will facilitate being able to keep the AIL and ELE
gyro gains at similar percentages.
Proper response of the elevator axis to control input with avoidance of
bounce is achieved with adjustment of D gain. If the
end of an elevator cyclic input, increase the D gain until the bounce disappears. The limit of D gain adjustment comes when a fast and/or harsh bounce
is observed instead of a crisp stop. Please note that any ybarless or even a
single axis tail rotor gyro will exhibit bounce if total gyro gain is too high.
If you have tuned D gain as well as possible and still have a little bounce, a
simple reduction in total gyro gain will almost assuredly remove the remaining
bounce.
bounce is slow at the
In addition to the ELE.Comp mixing in the Flight Tuning Menu, V2 rmware also has available in the AIL and ELE Expert mixing sections AIL, FLIP,
and ROLL compensation mixers. Instructions for tuning these mixers are
found on p 22 of this manual. These mixes will not be needed in most cases
because the further enhanced holding ability of V2 rmware. If any tendency
is observed for the model to corkscrew in rolls, deviate off axis during ips, or
roll off during ascents or descents, adjustment of one or more of these mixers
will eliminate the issue(s). Remember to teach the CGY750 the directions for
UP ELE and RIGHT AIL commands in the STK.Dir menu (SWASHset BASIC) and memorize them into the system by pressing either the [+ ]or[- ]DATA
button.

WARNING
Safety Reminder: Remove both main and tail blades from the model
and/or disengage the motor’s pinion from the main gear before proceeding with any electric governor set up.
Make sure your ESC is congured for external governor use. Refer to the
owner’s manual for your ESC.
You may use either a brushless phase sensor or the traditional governor
magnetic sensor with a magnet mounted in a collar on the main shaft or in
the main gear. With one magnet, set the gear ratio to 1:1.
When choosing a brushless phase sensor, observe the input signal range of
the CGY750 specied in the Governor Basic section.
Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for your electric motor to
select the correct pole count when using a brushless phase sensor. Pole
count is set to 2 when using a magnetic sensor.
Set the governor Working Mode (Wrk.Mode) to “Governor” (EXPERT
Menu).
Set the governor Response to “Silent” (Expert Menu).
Set the servo type (ServoTyp) to DG:1520.
Set Throttle Mode (THR.Mode) to FIXED (Expert Menu).
It is permissible to experiment with OPTIMIZE as well to obtain
NOTE:
the best match between governor, ESC, and motor.
Make sure you correctly calibrate your ESC.
Make sure you calibrate the governor speed ranges in the transmitter’s
governor menu and set the high and low limits for throttle in the Governor
Basic menu.
If a tail “kick” or “jerk” is observed when switching from one idle-up
headspeed to another, INCREASE the Revolution Up and Down delays
(Rv.UpDly/Rv.DnDly – Exper
tail “kick” is suppressed.
The greater the electronic speed control headroom built into the model as
a function of its gearing, the more prone the tail will be to kicking with
aggressive ying. Models geared for high headspeed but own aggressively at low headspeed present the greatest challenge for the governor.
The more optimally your model is geared for your chosen headspeed, the
better the governor will function.
Excessive governor gain worsens tail kick. Use as little gain as necessary
for adequate headspeed control.
If the model yaws nose left with aggressive collective input, activate and

Heading hold aspect of the gyro control, if the helicopter is not holding angle or cyclic control rates,
increasing the heading hold gain will improve holding the helicopter at a certain angle and improve
the cyclic rate consistency. If this is set too high you could see an oscillation on that axis. Lowering the

Cyclic stop tuning on the aileron axis. If the helicopter after an aileron roll continues to coast,
lowering “StpTuneA” will create a harder stop action to remove the coasting. If the helicopter
bounces on the aileron axis after an aileron control input, increasing “StpTuneA” will reduce bounce.

Cyclic stop tuning on the elevator axis. If the helicopter after an elevator flip continues to coast,
lowering the “StopTune” will create a harder stop action to remove the coasting. If the helicopter
bounces on the elevator axis after an elevator control input, increasing the “StpTuneE” will reduce
bounce.
(6) Head Response [default: 1] [ranges: 1 ~ 10]
Head Response matches the gyro control speed to what the helicopter is capable of reacting to. In a

(3) Control delay In [default: 3D=15, Sports=12] [ranges: 0
This parameter sets the delay as you move the stick from neutral toward left or right. Larger
values result in a softer tail rotor feel off center. This parameter must be adjusted individually for
LEFT and RIGHT tail rotor commands. Use the data [+] or [-] key to adjust the value.
(4) Control delay Out [default: 3D=12, Sports=10] [ranges: 0
This parameter sets the delay when the stick is returned back to the neutral position. This parameter is useful to tune how aggressively the tail rotor stops following a pirouette. The higher the

(DUAL RATES MUST BE 100) The base amount of cyclic pitch used to control the helicopter.
-Suggested amount of base cyclic pitch

The [PIT.Rate] is the amount of collective pitch travel allowed, and this value will be similar to
what you may have traditionally used with a flybarred helicopter. A good starting range for Sport,
3D and F3C is +/-10 to +/-12 degrees. Beginners may want to change the negative collective
pitch value to -3 degrees instead of -10. Use the Data [+] or [-] key to make an adjustment. 50%
ranges: 0~100%
(4) Swash ring [default: 130%]
This function is used to prevent binding of the swash plate servos when the transmitter control
stick is moved toward a corner (for example, full right and full aft cyclic). Press the Data [+] or [-]
key to adjust the value.
(5) Flight style [default: 50n ranges: 0~100n]
Increasing this value will create a more robotic reaction to the stick, leaving the pilot with the impression that the model is locked into in a position after an input. It will also tend to have a more
calculated feeling when making inputs.
-Lowering the value will make the model feel more fluid and easy to rotate with the stick input.
The model will feel a little more effortless during faster cyclic movements and direction changes.
(6) Control Authority Aileron [default: 40% ranges: 0~100%]
Aileron Control Authority changes the rate at which the gyro will try to achieve the set angular rate.
A higher value will create a quicker accelerated reaction to a stick input to reach and stabilize to the
CYC Rate value; a lower value will reach the desired CYC Rate slower and accelerate slower to the
desired angular rate. (Note – Setting this value too high could lead to a jerky feeling when making
FAST stick corrections, a value too low will give you the impression the model is not following the
pilot’s stick inputs. Values of 30-70 are useful for most helicopters.
(7) Control Authority Elevator [default: 40% ranges: 0~100%]
Elevator Control Authority changes the rate at which the gyro will try to achieve the set
angular rate. A higher value will create a quicker accelerated reaction to a stick input to
reach and stabilize to the CYC Rate value; a lower value will reach the desired CYC Rate
slower and accelerate slower to the desired angular rate. (Note – Setting this value too high
could lead to a jerky feeling when making FAST stick corrections, a value too low will give
you the impression the model is not following the pilot’s stick inputs. Values of 30-70 are
useful for most helicopters.
(8) Head hold [default: 80%] [ranges: 0% ~ 200%]
Heading hold aspect of the gyro control, if the helicopter is not holding angle or cyclic control rates,
increasing the heading hold gain will improve holding the helicopter at a certain angle and improve
the cyclic rate consistency. If this is set too high you could see an oscillation on that axis. Lowering
the heading hold below default would be used if the transmitter gain is reduced and a consistent
oscillation is still not fixed during flight. (HeadHld A→Aileron HeadHld E→Elevator)
(9) Stop tune A [default: 80%] [ranges: 0% ~ 250%]
A
Cyclic stop tuning on the aileron axis. If the helicopter after an aileron roll continues to coast,
lowering “StpTuneA” will create a harder stop action to remove the coasting. If the helicopter
bounces on the aileron axis after an aileron control input, increasing “StpTuneA” will reduce bounce.
(10) Stop tune E [default: 80%] [ranges: 0% ~ 250%]
Cyclic stop tuning on the elevator axis. If the helicopter after an elevator flip continues to coast,
E
lowering the “StopTune” will create a harder stop action to remove the coasting. If the helicopter
bounces on the elevator axis after an elevator control input, increasing the “StpTuneE” will reduce
bounce.
Cyclic rate sets the maximum cyclic pitch and roll rate (d/s) as limited by the model’s ability to
reach that set rate. Pitch and roll rates are set together with this single parameter.
Tune the exponential as desired to soften or sharpen the feel of the cyclic controls around center
stick. NEGATIVE values soften control feel; POSITIVE values sharpen control feel. Note that any
exponential present in the TRANSMITTER adds to the value set in the CGY750. It is suggested
that the exponential function in the CGY750 be used primarily to tune for a linear control feel, and
that has been the goal of the default setting. From there if the pilot wishes to soften or sharpen
the feel of the model around center cyclic stick, then the transmitter’s exponential function would
best be used.
(13) Governor gain
Governor Gain. Too low of number the RPM will fluctuate with collective pitch and cyclic changes.
Too high of gain the RPM will oscillate and possibly surge during flight.

Low RPM Limit sets the minimum amount of throttle that the governor will reduce to during an
over speed situation. Too low of value the engine could shut off or not recover power quickly during the next collective movement. If the value is set too high the engine will speed up during the
over speed and cause the rotor head to also speed past the desired RPM.

style
When choosing F3C style, the following function is added. Refer to the preceding clause about common feature with 3D.
(Swash Basic) Rotational equalizer [default: off]
This function works to optimize pirouette stability during
stationary and forward flight. Press the DATA [+] or [-] key
to turn the function on or off.
(Swash Basic) Equalizer direction [default: normal]
This function sets the rotational equalizer direction. Setting
method: When the CGY750 is in this mode, the swashplate
will tilt on direction and stay that way. Observe the direction
of the tilt relative to the surface on which the model sits.
Rotate the model 90 degrees about its mainshaft clockwise
or counterclockwise. The swashplate should remain tilted
in the same direction relative to the surface on which the
model sits. Adjust Equa.Dir from NORMAL to REVERSE
if needed to keep the swashplate tilt in the same direction
as the model is rotated. Correctly setting of the rotational
equalizer is critical for proper flight performance during pirouettes. All linkages from servos to swashplate should be
installed prior to setting direction.

Gain tracking is another method to adjust how the tail rotor
stops. For example, when there is a bounce when stopping
a left pirouette or the helicopter coasts when stopping right
pirouette, increase gain tracking in the + direction. In the
opposite situation, shift the gain tracking in the - direction.
(Rudder Expert) F/F mixing [default:off ]
Feed Forward mixing is activated with this parameter. F/F
mixing is a pitch to rudder mix applied outside of the gyro
compensation’s control loop and before the gyro itself can
even sense undesired tail rotor movement. F/F mixing is
handled within the CGY750. Do not attempt to use revolution or acceleration mixing within your transmitter as this
will actually adjust the input signal to the gyro and cause
drifting.
This function tunes the rotational equalizer to the pirouette
characteristics of the model. When pirouetting the model at
the desired rate, observe the model’s rotor DISK (NOT the
mechanics) and tune the ROT.Trak until the disk stays flat
during the pirouette. Find the best average setting for both
left and right pirouettes
This function works to recall the neutral point of the rudder
servo for improving tail stop motion. To use this function
effectively, hover the helicopter for about one second, and
memorize the neutral point. If flying a 3D helicopter, this
function may not work as well due to the quick and aggressive movements, so test with it turned on and off and decide which yields better stop behavior. Use the data [+] or [-]
key to enable or disable this option.
(Flight Tuning) Gyro working mode [default: CMT]
The available choices are CMT, Normal or AVCS. The CMT
mode will allow you to select either AVCS or Normal mode
via the transmitter. In Normal mode the gyro will always operate in Normal Rate Mode, and when AVCS it will always
operate in AVCS Mode. Use the data [+] or [-] key to select
the desired working mode.
(Rudder Expert) Yaw smoother [default: on]
This function selects the rudder control feeling. When
turned on, rudder control becomes more exact. When
turned off, rudder control authority increases. Select the
rudder control feeling to your taste. Use the data [+] or [-]
key to enable or disable this function.

(Flight Tuning) Stability gain setting [default: 5 ranges: 1~10]
Depending on many variables such as model, rotor blade
design, head speed, head dampening, and servo choice,
the amount of transmitter cyclic gyro gain that the model
will tolerate without oscillation may be lower than the percentage that provides the most stable flight. If the model
is observed to be oscillating or wobbling at your chosen
headspeed with low transmitter cyclic gyro gain percentages, lowering the Stability.Gn parameter a point or two will
allow for higher cyclic gyro gain without inducing a wobble
or oscillation in the model.
(Rudder Basic) Flight mode [default: 3D]
Selects the flight mode. Always try the “Sports” flight mode
first and if you determine that the feel is not aggressive
enough or if the pirouette rate is not fast enough then try
the “3D” flight mode. The “Sports” Flight Mode will satisfy
most pilots.The flight mode is changed by pushing the data
[+] or [–] key.
(Governor Basic) Response [default: Middle]
This parameter selects the governor operation response.
Select the best match for your engine type. Pushing data+
or – key, the mode is changed. Recommended selection
are, Middle→ glow engine, Moderate→gasoline engine,
Quick→brushless motor, Silent→electric models when
RPM detection is accomplished either with a magnet on
the motor’s rotor or with a brushless phase sensor.
This parameter sets the base gain of the gyro. This can
be used to adjust the gain % if your actual transmitter gain
does not match the gain on the CGY750 correctly.
This parameter is used to set the neutral position of the
rudder servo. Position the rudder servo arm as perpendicular as possible to tail rotor pushrod prior to making adjustments with this parameter. Press the data [+] or [-] key
to make adjustments.
This parameter sets the feel of the tail rotor control around
center. Decreasing the number (less negative) will result
in a quicker feel off center and increasing the number will
result in a softer feel. Adjust to suit your preference. The
RUD EXP functions within your transmitter can also be
used to make this adjustment.
This parameter may also be used to adjust the aggressiveness of the stop but is individually NOT tuneable for LEFT
versus RIGHT tail rotor commands. Larger values will
soften the tail stops resulting in less bounce. Use the data
[+] or [-] key to adjust the value.
(Rudder Expert) Gain change up delay [default: 12]
[ranges: 1 ~ 50]
This parameter sets the delay of change of the gyro gain
from low to high when switching from idle up to hover and
helps avoid the chance for tail rotor hunting during this
switch. Use the data [+] or [-] key to adjust the value.
(Rudder Expert) Gain change down delay [default: 3]
[ranges: 1 ~ 50]
This sets the delay of the gyro gain from high to low as
would occur during a switch from hover into idle up and
helps prevent the tail from feeling “loose” while the head
speed accelerates to the higher rate. Use the data [+] or [-]
key to adjust the value.
Hysteresis adjusts the range right around center of tail rotor stick travel within which a tail rotor input will result in no
rudder servo movement. The greater the value, the wider
the range where stick movement yields no servo movement. Use the data [+] or [-] key to adjust the value.

(AIL,ELE Expert) I gain <integral gain> [default: AIL
80% ELE 80%] [ranges: 0% ~ 200%]
EL
I gain tunes the ability of the model to maintain a given
heading. Inadequate I gain results in a change in model
heading especially with aggressive collective pitch input.
Excessive I gain can result in oscillations in forward flight or
with cyclic input. On the ELE axis especially, excessive I gain
can create bounce.

(AIL,ELE Expert) D gain <differential gain> [default:
AIL 0% ELE 80%] [ranges: 0% ~ 250%]
EL
D gain is best used to tune the stops following cyclic
commands. Inadequate D gain results in soft, indeterminate
stops possibly with a slow bounce. Excessive D gain causes
harsh stops with a quick bounce or oscillation in forward
flight or with cyclic input.
This function sets the mixing rate of the pitch to aileron
mixing. The roll axis may be affected by positive/negative
collective pitch movement as manifested by the model
rolling off either to the left or to the right during rapid ascent
or descent. This mixing compensates this effect. The mixing
amount can be adjusted individually for both positive and
negative collective pitch inputs.
(AIL Expert) Roll compensation [default: 0%] [ranges:
0%~ 100%]
This parameter sets the mixing rate of the aileron to elevator
mixing. The elevator axis may be affected by the aileron input
as manifested by a tendency for the model to corkscrew
or otherwise roll non-axially. This mixing compensates this
effect. The mixing amount can be adjusted individually for
both left and right aileron inputs.
This parameter sets the mixing rate of the elevator to aileron
mixing. The roll axis may be affected by a pitch axis (elevator)
input as manifested by the model rolling off to the left or right
during flips or loops. This mixing compensates this effect.
The mixing amount can be adjusted individually for both up
and down elevator stick inputs.
