GYRO GYRO GYRO

So what gyro is best to keep my tail!!! I have the Ikarus gyromaster(is it really a master???) and even after playing with the revo crap i cant seem to keep a steady tail, not that i like to cheat but flying with a unpredictable tail S**KS!!!! I have read alot about this subject but as we all know some work better for others and visa versa. I am thinking of going with a JR HH, which one is best??? Forget the cost as i have alot more in my heli than i care to add but without this it just wont fly right!!!!!

P.S. My newborn son LOVES to watch the Piccolo fly around the living room, he really is something to watch!!!!!

OK the JR G410T is very good.

I was using the GY240 Futuba from Cayuse and it was awsome. To steal a computer term it was Plug-and-Play(Fly).

I agree to that, great gyro!

Hi guys,
regarding the german board, there are only two choices for serious flying: GY240 or GY401 ... I didn't read anything else for a LONG time ! The GY240 is good for standard servos .. the GY401 for standard and digital ones.
Since 1 172 years, i fly the GY240 myself and it's one of the best investments I did on my Eco8, especially since the Ikarus telegyro caused two crahses. One just after I got the Eco .. I didn't know that it was the gyro, the tail just came around and the heli did pirouettes just after take off. When it happened the second time, I threw it away and got the GY240 .. Next Heli will get a GY401 since the price differences aren't that big anymore.

Since we are on about gyros.
How important is it to be able to swich the HH off in flight?

For me it is not important at all. Actually, my GY240 is stable enough, that I can fly fast backwards without HH.
I prefer the normal mode anyway, since you can "pull" the heli through sharp curves without steering the tail .. using HH will make the heli crash probably if you try that, at least that's what happenes to me in the sim.
For me, there are only two occasions when HH appears to be useful: Really fast backwards flying and when you are a beginner and start learning to hover. Both issues are a matter of training and can be handled without HH too and with a good standard gyro it's not really difficult.

I had actually thought about getting one that was switchable from the tx for FF, however after flying FF for a bit now I just naturally turn the tail when I do turns, so I'm not looking to upgrade my gyro anytime soon. It was a little irritating at first, but something that just needs to be learned like everything else. If I don't give tail input it doesn't "weathervane" through turns at all.. the tail will stay pointed at me and it just slides sideways.

JR G410T here as well.. works like a charm! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

My LHS has a JR G460-T Sports lock gyro, does this sound good, oh and its $169.
