Hi All, for all you that might be using Powerbox with I gyro (i am using Mercury SR2 with I gyro), can you please advise that what is your gain set at? Thank you.

It's set at whatever works for your installation. Start small, work your way up.

As others said, the main gain setting must be seen in context. If you have a GPS installed as well, you can usually use about 10% higher gains than without. Also if you select the "soft" dampening setting (instead of the default "normal" or "hard") your gains can also be higher.
I have reduced the individual gain for the elevator by 10% (set to 90) and my master gain is set to 40% (with gps and default speed compensation setting). In landing configuration or full flap fly-bys I have dialed the master gain up to 50%. I use the "soft" dampening. Hope that helps

Agree with @BarracudaHockey. However, it's safe to start at 20% on A or B. It'll be important to make sure your Rudder gyro is NOT active in Attitude mode (whichever one you set to be that meaning A or B). It's best to put the input on a rotary dial so that you can adjust in flight and sneak up on what you want...what feels good. The plane really doesn't need a gyro but it is fun to play with. You'll probably wind up with 25-35% at the end but it will be based on what you want. Remember that EXPO will change with gyro on/off so you may want to set your gyro then set EXPO. Once you find the amount of gyro you like, grab those numbers and transfer it to a 3-position switch (assuming you set A and B) so that you have A, B, and, most importantly, off for the gyro.
Yes you are correct. The reason for my question is that one friend is using Cortex and has about 30% gain. another friend just did the maiden and with ISat, he was getting wing rock at 8% and had to reduce to 6%. so i was wondering that if this is correct or it is a set-up issue.

Yea that doesn't sound right, I have an isat in just about everything and the only thing I couldn't get much past 10 percent gain on was a 60inch extra NG from Extreme Flight with HUGE elevators.
FWIW my Rebel (i dont have, can't afford, and don't have room to transport or store a Max LOL) with an isat I run 25 in flight and bump that to 35 with full flaps. Attitude assist mode on aileron.

Can't help with afford, but these things can be stored in a medium space and transported in a medium vehicle.... The pic with another brand plane shows the back halves of the fuse from the ceiling.
Just added lights to the wing, here are some photos with measurements and the light that I used. Pretty easy to cut into wing, nothing blocking the cut part and running the wiring down the wing

The lights I used for NAV/Strobe
how long I made the slit to slide in the heat sync, have to round off the aft end to make room for the resistor to push into wing
how far away from the trailing edge to beginning of the cut/slit
