        Might get an idea here

        http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/servos...all-using.html

        I personally use Spartans and V bar but i think the best stand alone gyro i have flown is the 720,but i dont like the design of the 720 with all the plugs going into it.If CSM re cased it more like the Align Gyro or the Spartan i would swap my Spartans for 720`s in a heartbeat.

          So if you have say 2 heli's,one with a 401 and one with a spartan you can vote for your fav

          Plus ive added hong kong phooeys and Align

            No worries Nick i assumed you had seen Matts thread but just pointing out that its got some good info in there.

            Just voted in this thread too,the 720 which i dont actually own but basing it on performance rather than design.

            The favourite that i do own would be the V bar over the Spartan without question.

              So far I have always been happy with the Futaba GY401. So it has become the standard I judge other gyros by. But I am not doing any really demanding flying just yet, so for me I'm happy if it just keeps the tail where I left it and doesn't wag or drift.

              I'm going to try a CSM 560 soon and have a couple older CSMs on two helis I will get flying in the near future.

              I have also ordered a super cheap gyro for the 450 that seems fairly well spoken about (HK401B), so if it can replace the GY401 I'll be impressed.

                  Futaba GY520 in all my helis.

                  Had my share of Spartan.

                    Not tried a 520 yet.

                    Got Spartans or 720's in all mine. If I had to choose one I'd probably go for 720 but it would be a close call...

                      I voted for the G401B (HK clone) - I have 4 of them 1 on a 250, 2 on 450s and one on a 500 - they are dirt cheap, work very well and are dead easy to set up
