double post time...

so heres what im thinking wrt to hooking it up just double checking so i dont explode $200 worth of goods lol.

the rudder input connector goes into the steering channel on the reciever... then the sensitivity switch goes to the 3rd channel.

now the rudder servo connector connects to the steering side of the imx1?

how are you supplying power to everything? It might be that the gyro is not passing power thru from the radio to the mixer Confused I think I had problems like that to begin with.

good deal it works!

now i just need to play with the delay and limit settings and work out how to use the sensitivity button.

oh yes and do you think i should turn on digital servo mode? something about switching the frequency to 207mhz or some such lol ill look that up soon.

I run my radio with the digital servo settings on for all channels, although I can't really see any improvements in the steering.
