Hi guys im intrested in seeing what gyros/combos/settings you are all using with your Trex 600's and 700's electric or Nitro (for me in particular the 700 Nitros). Please take some time to fill in the form and the headings listed as they are only (easier for refrence). Maybe it could be made a sticky so we can all compare because i think it would be very helpful to some. If anyone has a recomendation for anything that they think should be listed then please mention it and ill add. Just copy and paste:-

Model:
Gyro:
TX:
TX Gyro Gain (& Travel Adjust or gyro menu?):
Tail Servo:
Tail servo Voltage:
Servo Horn hole:
Motor Pinion (if electric):
Tail Blades:
Main Blades:
Throttle curves:
Governor enabled/Headspeed?:
Mods:
Result/Comments:

TRex 600 Pro - No Upgrades

Spartan 760 gyro & JR8700 servo
Align 600mm main blades
Align carbon tail blades
Tx rudder endpoints at 110%
Channel 4 travel - 100% both ways
Tx gyro gain set to give 26% on the PC interface
RevMax limiter fitted
5V tail servo voltage
JR DSX9 Tx
Don't know how far out the servo output ball is from memory.

Other gyro settings...

Model: Trex 700 nitro
Gyro: Gy611
TX: DX7
Gyro Gain (Travel or gyro menu?): think about 50% gain
Tail Servo: 9256
Tail servo Voltage: 4.8v
Servo Horn hole: so it is level on the rod
Motor Pinion (if electric):
Tail Blades: align white carbons
Main Blades: align 690D's
Throttle curves: never run out of gov mode
Governor enabled?: yes at 1900 head speed ish
Mods: none, completly standard
Result/Comments: Tail holds really well, never had an issue, the piro rate when not level is not as consistant as i would like but not really an issue.
Never had it blow out on me not even on rolling tail slides it is rock solid, feel no need to try anything else.

Tail servo Voltage: Regulated 5.1v
Servo Horn hole: 17mm
Motor Pinion (if electric):N/A
Tail Blades:Align carbon
Main Blades:Align 600D carbon
Throttle curves: still adjusting, just transfered this model to this TX (2.4Ghz).
Governor enabled/Headspeed?:no
Mods:none
Result/Comments: Rock steady tail, consistent piros but heli not pushed to the limits (aggressive sports flying/little inverted), 110/110 rudder travel adjust

Model:Trex 700 Nitro
Gyro:Spartan 760
TX: DX7
TX Gyro Gain (& Travel Adjust or gyro menu?):Travel adjust (gear channel) 45% actual gain, 100/100 gyro limits
Tail Servo:BLS251
Tail servo Voltage:Regulated 5v
Servo Horn hole:16.5mm
Motor Pinion (if electric):N/A
Tail Blades:Align Carbon 105mm
Main Blades:Radix 690
Throttle curves:idleup1 - 100,70,50,70,100 idleup2 - 100,80,60,80,100 (still fiddling)
Governor enabled/Headspeed?:yes 1900 ish
Mods:none
Result/Comments: still running the 91SZH in so still at the fiddling with settings stage (will change accordingly). Setup for 90 degrees arm on tail servo with slider in centre of travel and 0 degrees on the tail blades. I dont use rate mode. 120/120 rudder travel adjust.
