Hi craig,Im using the 720 on both my helis and find its awesome for my needs.
ive used the cycloc too and also found that a great bit of kit but ive just taken both revlock 20's off as i just cant get on with them.There too tempremental, working one week but not the other.

720 gyro's ..
pros ... love the way the leads are not connected to the gyro...they work well.
cons ... too big a case...take some tweaking through the s/w to get them to behave how you want
overall a lovely gyro that does what it says on the tin, nice and smooth and not whippy like some .... never had one blow out on me but then am only sports flyer...

cyclocks....
pro's... chit loads lol... I love this product and cant fault them in any way and apart from a slightly large ( csm 720 ) case I can't fault them...
cons...Can be a little tricky to start with to set up but when you done one it gets easier

revlocks ....
pro's .... works ... plug and pray and set up and away you go ... works by engine headspeed so no tacho needed , you just need to know the gearing of your heli
cons.... csm could do with putting a nice addon to the manual with helicopters gearing and engines and peak power output so people can look up there engine/heli and set it up that way ....can be a little tempremental on engine tuning and hunt

As for bigging CSM up ... dont get upset if some people diss the products then ... you have to have both sides of the road ... some people might hate there products

[tonystevens]

being sponsored would be nice but im afraid im not either craig

[mattie-lodge]

Hi,

I used CSM products before I became sponsored. Still love them and still enjoy flying them. In fact I've yet to find a gyro that flies as good yet!! Setup correctly of course!

Nice one CSM

Hi Craig,
I use their Revlock Range, & somtimes their Gyro's too.

My comments over all very happy usually fit & forget

See you at the 3D Champs

Ps I am not sponsored but am open to offers (Hi Curtis LOL)

Use CSM SL720 Stunning !! Was using the SL560, I didnt expect the difference to be great but Wow! Rock solid with DS620 on my 500. Have used SL310, SL420 as well and they have all performed well.
Use Revlock 20. Love that also.
Nothing to compare them to as they are all Ive ever used. And unless somone gives me a MAJOR reason to, I wont ever use anything else.
The support is first class, Their repair service is great (takes a big worry out of trashing a big invesment ).

Like the fact that one interface does all. Software is easy to set up and use(and free)

In short, If CSM started making ESC,s , BEC,s, servos etc, Id buy them with no hesitation!!

And no Im not sponsored - And never will be I suspect !! (Unless someone wants an electronics ruggidization/crash survival test pilot)

Craig,
I've got 720's on my fleet and can't find fault. Easy setup if you read the manual and excellent performance although I am only flying sportman style with the odd attempt at 3d .
As for being sponsoured, YES PLEASE IF YOUR OFFERING, I've spent a small fortune on CSM products and don't have a bad point to bring up.

[asomaro]

Hi Craig,

I have two of the 720's. One fitted to a 500 which works really well (big thanks to Richie for helping me to set it up) and the other is awaiting installation on the 550. I also have a cyclock which I haven't got round to fitting yet.

The CSM gyro is excellent (but a bit chunky), I have the PC interface cable as well which allows detailed configs. I'm only just at the initial sports flying stage, so the 720 is probably overkill, but some of the best pilots I know (Richie, Mattie, Ash etc) use it, so if it's good enough for them then that gives me a chance to improve!

I'm not sponsored nor am I ever likely to be!

Cheers,

[Tom Burgess]

I'm using SL720's as my gyro of choice for the simple reason that they are IMO the best on the market. Piro consistency in any weather condition is remarkable

Sponsored, but not by CSM.

[millerman]

i have used their cyclock and that was very good if not a little hard to get you head around the setup and i now use thier carb smart on my 700 and thats really cool and works very well ps im not a csm pilot but like thier products

[Rotorhead]

At the moment I've got two 720s, and they're good, one is on a Sceadu Evo 50, the other has been on a T-rex 700 and is now on a 500, it didn't seem to like being on the 700 for some reason.

When doing 3D it would sometimes let go in manuvoures like piro flips and let the tail whip round, so I moved it on to the 500 and put a Quark on the 700, the 720 seems to get along with 3D on the 500 better.

Not sponsored.

[Grant_beltcp]

I've only been using the SL720 so far (trying out the revlock 40 soon on the srimok). I swapped to CSM after inconnsistant piro rates and other funny things on the spartan which no one was able to give an answer to. After speaking to the best pilot's (duncan osbourne, stefan simmons etc) They all pointed me to CSM. I was lucky enough to get sponsored by them, but since ive been using the SL 720 its just solved my problems. Love it!

The only thing i dont like, as with everyone is the size and the case. I am re-designing a case at the moment when i have spare time just for abit of fun and if it works out nice send one over to CSM to look at. If it looked small and shiny I would have had them ages ago
