Dilemma

[andylinney]

I've got a slight dilemma on my hands,

I'm in the process of getting all the bits together to pop a v-bar on my Logo 500 3d. Now this has left me in a slight bother.

On my 450 SEv2 I have a GY401 which is totally nailed in terms of setup running a 9650. It holds really very well indeed and serves the purpose perfectly.

However, in my build box I have a Spartan DS760 (the full version) that was destined to go on my Logo. It's had a genuine 6 flights from new on a 600e and was then taken off when the 600e sold with the helicommand 3d on it.

So, do I:

A: Leave the 401 on the TRex 450 as it is and sell the Spartan as it'd make a bit more money towards the V-Bar (I think...)

B: Transplant the Spartan onto the 450 and flog the GY401 potentially making slightly less money in the sale but having a 'better' gyro on the 450.

Bearing those in mind, what am I likely to get for the Spartan? I know the 401's fetch about £50 / £60 at the mo.


It's worth saying thought that I'd wait until I had the v-bar working well before I sold on the gyro (whichever one it might be) incase I'm not too keen on the whole v-bar thing.

Any thoughts?

I tried a spartan on my 450, didnt have alot of success and went back to a 401. But others have done it and its worked very well.

Ive no longer got any 401's sold them off with models, as the price of them is so close in my opinion the spartan is definately more value for money.

infact im sure whichever gyro you decide to sell it will go quickly, infact if you want to sell the spartan let me know lol

sell the 401 and put the Spartan on the 450. The Spartan on my 450 has totally locked the tail in even in backwards flight which is the main area that the 401 will freak out in. It's a no brainer!

I know you said you'de like to wait before you sell the 401, but i'm going to tempt you with cold hard cash, plus i need one. PM sent.

[andylinney]

Thanks Phockzie, I'll have a serious ponder at lunchtime!

Go with the spartan.
Its a superior gyro and I'm surpirised that the 401 hasn't blown out on you when doing fast backwards manouvers.
Also the 401 can be a bit whippy whereas the spartan has a far more consistent piro rate.

Adrian, that's because I can't fly slow backwards let alone fast backwards lol.

Not yet anyway.
At least by fitting the Spartan you will be ready for when you do.
