Just smashed my futaba GY401 last weekend on a silly manouver.

Should i wait for this to get restocked or just buy the Spartan Quark now thats available ??

Im using the MKS DS9670A Plus Digital Titanium Gear Servo 2.26kg/.088sec/27g for the rudder..

MEMS gyro, not piezo like the GY401.


It's the most affordable high end mems gyro so far on this site.


Use digital servos only.

I have the GA250 but havent actually tried it yet honestly, I also have the quark, and must say, apart from the program button, they look identical, wires, size, weight etc. I can say however that the Quark is the easiest gyro I have ever set up and works flawlessly on every heli I have ever put it on... For the price of the ga250 I threw one in my cart to fill up shipping weight a while back, if you are going to order the quark, for the price, you may has well grab both, in case you need a spare in the future....
