  • Gyrobot 900, Pro Rc Rondo and Microrondo - any good?

    Hi,

    As I am moving my HC3SX from my Protos to my new 600, and have also bought a logo 400, I will need 2 new fbl controllers.

    I have tried BeastX, and also I have a HC3SX which I really like (especially the bailout).

    Anyway, I have been offered a Gyrobot 900 (website) and a Pro-Rc Rondo (website) for roughly the price of 2 BeastXs. Please could someone let me know of the advantages of getting them over something else?

    So far I have had the following thoughts on the Rondo:

    -Very nicely worded and clear website
    -looks easy to setup
    -Spektrum Sat compatibility
    -No idea on how good it is
    -seems to be one of the early fbl contollers

    And this is what I have gathered about the GB900:

    -Tracks very well according to some members on HF - ie you can do flips using only one cyclic input.
    -Also quite an old fbl controller
    -Almost no support at all from LF-Technic, and very complicated to set up with a terrible manual
    -The Beginner/Stabilisation mode doesn't work at all, and you can't switch between modes, so it is basically a GB700 for more money. (see this thread)
    -All the info on it seems to be 2009/2010, so there may have been firmware updates?
    -needs a separate RX

    I have been flying for about 3 months, so am still at the "flying around stage", so would prefer something that is the most stable and tracks the best when progressing further - a bit like how the TDR flies on phoenix .

    Anyway, any current info on them, and any comparisons with a beastx or something would be very helpful.

    Thanks

    Stanley
