Stabilising A Model Aircraft Around The Longitudinal (Roll) Axis - ROBBE RO-WING 300 Notice D'utilisation

Stabilising a model aircraft around the longitudinal (roll) axis

Receiver
The sketch shows the method of installing the gyro to provide stabilisation around the roll
axis.
The picture shows the orientation of the RO-
WING 300 in a fixed-wing model aircraft. It is
absolutely essential that you keep to this positi-
on.
In this case the rotational axis of the gyro must
be installed parallel to the longitudinal axis
(fuselage centreline) of the model. We recom-
mend that you install the gyro in the fuselage
close to the CG, because that places it close to
the axis which is to be monitored and stabilised.
If you wish the RO-WING 300 to stabilise the model against unwanted rotational move-
ments around the longitudinal axis, and if you are using two servos for the aileron function,
it is absolutely essential that the state of the wire link is appropriate to the orientation of the
two servos; this is described under "Connections and controls".

The primary application for the RO-WING
300 is to stabilise a fixed-wing model with two
aileron servos around the longitudinal (roll)
axis. For this application the gyro features
two independent inputs and outputs, and the
direction of effect can be reversed separately
for each function. If only one aileron servo is
fitted in the model aircraft, the second
connector is simply left unused.
The adjacent drawing shows the receiver
connections for this primary application.
Connect the cable marked 'RX 1' to receiver
channel 1 (Aileron 1 in robbe/Futaba
systems). Connect the cable marked 'Rx 2' to
receiver channel 5, 6 or 7 (aileron 2 in
robbe/Futaba systems, according to mixer
program). Connect the two servos to the
appropriate gyro outputs. Connect the cable
marked 'AUX' to a receiver output which is
controlled by a slider on the transmitter.
