Info on Gyro

[sgtreno]

Hi All,
Yep back again to drain those brains of yours.Many thanks for the help on my last question,had great feedback.Now for my next question,i need to get hold of a new gyro,servo set-up as it looks like the old one seems to have given up...the wiring and plastic seems to have started to deteriorated ,so any Info on a good stable,reliable setup would be great...ps..within a reasonable budget please..lol..many thanks..im working on a kyosho 30..cheers all..Dave

Not mine, But these are a good gyro

the spartan quark is a great gyro,coupled with a ds520 (not familiar with your heli size so maybe there is a better servo choice out there for your heli) the quarks are not cheap brand new but have a look here Spartan :: Spartan as there are at least 2 quarks at half price on there,around the £50 mark.spartan quite often sell reconditioned gyros on there for silly money. i've owned a couple of quarks and have been more than happy with them.very good gyro's and very user friendly.

I'm using the above ds520 servo with a used align gp750 purchased for £35

The tail on my heli has been rock solid since I built it

On a heli the size of a Kysho 30 (30 size) You could use something like the DS620, It works great on a a 500 size and up.

I have CSM400 if you want it and I think I saw SMC with futaba 9254 tail servo's for a decent price. Makes a good combination but if you are just using it for circuits and hovering even a 3001 will do on that tail.

*sits back and awaits the 3001 on a tail rotor??? remarks* lol It does work and it can work well not for 3d mind but for sport flying its more than enough.

Which Kyosho is it ? ... If its the one with the wire drive tail ? . Align 620/650 as tail servo will be fine. As for gyro well take your pick. CSM720, spartan quark, align GP750. Any of those gyros will be fine with those tail servo's. Also depends on how much you want to spend

It does depend on the sort of flying you are doing. Gyros have come down in price a lot recently. Digital servos are better than analogue as they are updated at a higher frequency than analogue and so allow a good gyro to do a better job. I've used 1Kg analogue servos on a 450 and a DS520 with a Futaba 401. Any gyro that is mems or smm will be temperature stable. Digital high speed servos will do a better job, but you would have to be a good pilot to notice it. There is the tarot flybarless controller for about £50.

on my raptor 30 i run an advanced gyro it is a copy of the gy401 paird to a futaba s9254 and never had a problem with it but i dont do any 3d flying so i wouldnt know how it would perform under high stress levels
