The FP-G153BB is a single axis rate gyro designed to stabilize aircraft. Like full size aircraft, stabilization 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. Features of FP-G153BB The FP-G153BB is for Futaba J, M and SG Series (1520 us neutral) 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 with 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 highest quality ball bearing is used as the motor bearing. The gyro can be bypassed without affecting normal operation by turning the gyro power switch OFF. 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).
