The FP-G132/G152 is a single axis rate gyro designed to
stabilize aircrafts. Like
full
size
aircrafts, stabilisation
is
accomplished by detecting angular acceleration with the rate
gyro. Detected motion information is fed to the control
amplifier, which then sends a counteraction signal to the
appropriate control surface.
•The
FP-G152
is
for Futaba
J,
M,
and
SG
Series
(1520
us,
neutral) digital proportional radio control sets.
•The
FP-G132
is
for
Futaba E, F, G,
H,
and L Series
digital
proportional radio control sets.
•Voltage regulated gyro motor supply maintains constant
motor speed and allows consistent gyro performance. The
voltage regulator is effective only when used with an external 6V. (five cell Nicad battery).
•Direction of correcting mix can be switched at the control
amplifier (internal reverse amp switch).
•Centering of the channel being stabilized can be adjusted
by a neutral trimmer built into the control amplifier.
•A very sensitive magnetic motion sensor with excellent
voltage characteristics, linear sensitivity, high speed
response is used. This results in superior neutral characteristics. Such characteristics make it ideal for use in the
rudder channel of a model helicopter or in the aileron/
elevator channel of a model aircraft.
•Large 2mm diameter gyro motor shaft for long life and
strength.
•The gyro can be bypassed without affecting normal operation
by
turning
the
gyro power switch
"off".
•Mount
the gyro
with
grommets and
screws
or
use
two-
sided foam tape.
• Gyro
output ("sensitivity")
can
be
switched
to
one
of
two
preset outputs at the transmitter (use the retract switch if
possible, or any avail, channels).
