        Just a heads up, always intended to tell it how it is, and on starting the build have found the tail slider binding (will replace with Align, as i doubt there will be any after sales from China) and 1x henge cyclic servo MD933 is faulty , and not centering correctly.

          This is the thing with clones. I found dodgy tails on all of mine and have replaced with an Align tail unit, so factor in this cost of about £40 for a new tail tail box plus tail grips and rotor shaft).

              tails seem to be a problem with the clones ive got a few clones (copterx and hk450 ) and its always the bloody tails i seem to have problems with but out of them 2 i prefer the copterx but same as everything you get what you payfor and always check everything this is a second hobby for me so i dont want to spank a lot of money ( but its slowly takeing over ) ive got the copterx flybarless unit but due to a servo going bang on me im useing it as a tail gyro at the moment till i repace the links in the fbl head but im using the hacked software to program it on pc but they have released the pc software now so i think ill have to get the links and give it another try but as a tail gyro its not bad lol

                  I take it your meaning on the tail slider Mike? if so, yes. But i think it may be the actual shaft thats causing the issue. Decided to change the tail for Align, and i am going to swap out the remaining Henge servo's as i dont have any confidence in them now, So i think i'll go for HS65mg's on the cyclic, and Ds520 on the tail, unless anyone can give other reliable servo's that would be suitable.

                    I have built both the sport and the pro tarots and both kits had sticky tail sliders. I rolled some wet and dry into a cone and reamed both ends of the slider bushing as it was poorly machined. Tail was nice and free once done. ;-)

                            any more people with the ZYX? i'm just about to rip mine open (the box) and have a fiddle with it.
                            any good links to a set up?
                            do i need to rip all my present servos to test with this thing?

                              Like any FBL, just make sure the servo settings (frequency etc) are all set right before connecting the servos.

                                thanks - i'm just familiarizing myself with the software.
                                I brought the gyro with me and the USB to play at work but guess what - the gyro needs a power supply to power up (I thought the USB alone would power it - oh well)
