it compatible with this model is: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4697# because the chip does not come back into that of the gyroscope

Hi again. I am sorry to you all. The giro problem was the reverse, and right now i can tell you this is an excelent giro and excelent price. Excelent with mks 480 digital servo. Now i find a way to fly ship and i will tell to my friends. tanks hobby king.

Hi. I byed a 401b gyro and it seem to doesnt work. After power on the heli the gyro behavior is more or less the same as futaba 401 but when is to make the hover the the gyro dosent lock and makes piroettes. Does anyone happen the same? tank you very much

I think it will work well with digital servos. I cant recommed it with analgo servos. Futaba GY240 is better than this with analog sero.

Hi the manual says one time: "...while using a normal servo, set the DS to OFF position" and the next is "...if using a normal servo, set the DS to ON " !!!! What is correct now if I dont use a digital servo, what position I have to set !? Karsten

DS stands for "Digital Servo" so if you dont have a digital servo set it to "OFF". If you run a non digital servo with the switch set to "On" you will notice the servo jitter like crazy. With it to "OFF" you will see the servo jitter a little also but not nearly as much.

Hello Guyz, Seems that I broken the dipswitch...duh If I need to reverse the gyro,since the switch is broken,could I just install the gyro at different heading or upside-down? Thanks

mirceacul (29 points);
no! if the switch can't be repaired find another application for it so you can use it in this position.

ello, I am dissapointed with this gyro. Even in abolute static position the gyro commands rudder inputs which concequently will eat up the servo. Do anyone else suffer this effect(servo jitter)?

I use a DX7 and trim the jitter out using both the trim switch and the subtrim otherwise it "walks" my servo one direction or another.
heli43 (14 points);
Hi, thanks for reply. I use a Graupner MX 16s. To some degree it is possible to reduce the jitter effect by using trim and reduceing the gain. However it can not be eliminated completely. But I will give it a next try as your statement makes me confident to overcome the issue. THX

Eugenio, I use the turnigy ds480 from here with the HK401B and I swear I can't tell the difference between this gyro and my real GY401 from Fublahblah

Have the gyro and just read the manual: HOW TO install the gyro in a heli, I mean which one is the bottom? I assume the upper side is the one with sticker. HOW TO change the on-off of it? I seem cant find the switch. Thanks all you guyz.

Which radio do you have?? I would be glad to help you out. Are you able to contact me?
phbas (3 points);
Normally the heading hold on/off switch goes into channel 5 so i doubt if you can make use of the switch on a 4 channel radio. But don't worry, just maintain flying at continously on heading hold.
Grunta13 (1 points) 1/7/2010
will this work to control ailerons on a single channel input. I only have a 4 ch tx and am a newbie to rc planes so trying to save myself a bit of greif if these help settle the roll axis a little so I can concentrate on other things for now

I will buy one of these for a VTOL and Hover setup and see how it goes. If anyone has done this please do tell.

Grutna I just received mine & trying to set up to ailerons on my PZ corsair with a dx7. This is all new to me also. Dont know if i have a bad one or its lack of knowledge but cant get it to do anything but chatter somtimes. Maybe someone with experience can help out. I would really like to get this working to try on a edf jet also.
vryder (2 points);
Forgot to report back.The gyro works great on the ailerons after learning what i was doing. have it set to rocker swith & can go from head lock to basic while in flight or turn off.

I cant get my gyro to work with my DX7 I am not pluging in the yellow wire, do I have to ? I am out of Ports on my RX. What am I doing wrong ?
Jon (11 points) 1/4/2010
Will this gyro work on a helicopter with an electric tail rotor motor? What settings would you recomend? Thank you.

Yes, but you may have to gather some more components, depending on your current set-up. It's a bit much to go into detail on here, but if you can find a Blade CP manual online, it shows how to do it in there.

Based on all the reviews written to this point *read them all* 90% of customers who tried this product have been satisfied! 80% of them having owned more than 2 different kinds of cheap & also expensive gyros.
I think it speaks for itself. 16.00$ is definatelly worth the time. (being new to the hobby) I based my purchases on reviews since I do not posses the trial and error experience.
totoro (48 points) 11/24/2009
The drift has disappeared. (Assan ga410 has having the drift) It's a big surprise,in disappearing of the drift so cheaply. I'm using with Towerpro MG930 Servo for HK-T500. I will buy more,Thanks HK

How does this compare to the Telebee gyro? Both in terms of quality and performance...

erroet24 (25 points);
Sorry to chime in! Should i replace my telebee on my HK450 with this?
emthered (73 points);
This is a rebranded Mystery brand "GYRD" (notice GYRO misspelled on purpose). Also similar to the famous GY401B (look it up if you don't know). This is an excellent gyro for the money - can't beat the price/performance ratio.
Demon (79 points);
To answer the question - YES by all means replace your Tellebee with this - I've been using one on my 450 since i got it and it really is unbeatable value. Outstanding performance and a fraction of the GY401 Gyro price.
Nice gyro...holds the tail on my 500 heli great. It's like a 401 but with a little less accuracy but a very big discount. Recommend to anyone that isn't running a larger than 500 sized heli or does very hard 3d. Gyro performs very well.
We are tested this gyro on Belt CP (instead of E-sky poor gyro) with HXT900 as tail servo. Works very well, unbeatable price. 4 stars because nothing included, no manual, no sticky plate, nothing.... only in bag
Hi there! When testing my new gyro, fist it didn't work at all. the servo seemed to be dead (but it was OK). Then i noticed that the servo connector has to be reversed. This prevents the servo connector from getting disconnected during flight because it has a tighter fit. Is that reversed servo connector intentional? Anyone noticed this issue? Finally I'm very happy with this gyro! Cheers
I got two of them. Thought it to be the same as the Mystery Gyro. But they must have a different firmware because the dont behave as well as the mystery gyro. Both are very sensitive to vibrations and tend to wag then even at very low sensivity settings.
This gyro is very good gyro. It holds tail very good with only very very small drift. The best is its price. Configuring is the same like original 401 gyro.
