do you still have to run a gyro with fbl sytems? newbie question lol

[marly1]

been looking at getting a fbl system but doesnt say anywhere if you still need a gyro? also what would you recomend? doent want to spend fortunes ie the tarot system or second hand 3g??

[danch]

Nope you don't have to although some can. Also I would rate the Tarot ZYX over the 3G personally

No, both of those and, as far as I know, most others are 3 axis gyros, so have the tail gyro built in.
The 3G system uses a GP780 based tail gyro internally.

normally FBL are 3 axis gyro systems so no you don't need a seperate tail gyro.

personally i run Vbar but they are expensive.

a guy at our club has a tarot FBL that he flew last week and it flew ok with no probs so far.

cool thanks guys, have been reading lots of great reviews on the tarot system!

buy cheap buy twice

seriously you get what you pay for most of the time

i've heard that the beast x is very good but not ventured that way yet

Hi, you don't say what size heli your'e proposing to put it on, but anything 600 or less the CopterX FBL gyro takes a lot of beating, extremely cheap too. I experimented with one on my 450 (just in case), Chris Jones flew it hard 3D and was very impressed.

as everyone else that answererd says, you don't need a seperate tail gyro, this does all 3 axis.

hope that helps.
