Hello,
I would like change my gyro and install an Axon on my EC145 Vario 1/6 turbine
Where did you install the gyro in the fuselage?
I would like change too my tank fuel tank, install 2 fuel tank.
Have you got photos of the installation in the EC145
Thanks for your return

Hi Gilles, I recommend installing the gyro in the forward part of the helicopter. It can be off to the left or right but a center-mounted gyro will be slightly better in my opinion. Just make sure that you set the orientation correctly in the software.
For fuel tanks, the question will be whether you connect them in parallel or series. To me, if possible, series is best because you don't have to ensure that both tanks drain at the same rate. If the tanks are mounted left/right, you can do serial. If they are mounted fore/aft, you may have a CG change mid-flight as one tank drains first.
For Axon setup, you can refer to this article: https://scalehelipilot.com/articles/3072c45f-5643-4899-b416-144fb0a...
Thank you for the feedback.
I plan to install two tanks (left and right) of one liter each and install them in the bottom of the fuselage in series with a 95ml Intairco UAT.
I don't know yet which tank models I will choose.
For the module, it is currently installed here (see photo). I don't know if I'm going to leave it here...
The Vbar in the picture looks like it is mounted crooked. Be sure to get the gyro lined up with the fuselage.
Yes
Hello Gilles, J'ai aussi rédigé un article sur l'Axon, en français, donc je le signale également !
