Quik 2100t gyro question
Will It work with my stock esky ek2-0406a transmitter, meaning I can adjust gain on gyro itself? Will this work well with a Bee King II?

no the 2100t does not work with the stock radio you will need a computer radio like the dx6i or dx7
futaba makes a gy240 that will work with the stock radio

Really? I thought that knob on the right side of the stock Tx was for gyro gain... I gave away my stock Tx (to the Iraq Fund), so I can't easily look anymore.

RE: Quik 2100t gyro question
Stock Tx's have a certain amount of gain preset internally and can not be changed. I think that the HH Gyro from Esky is supposed to work with that setting and nothing else. That knob on the top right is for more/less pitch, knob on left is for more/less head speed...The knob holding the controller is you or I....

RE: Quik 2100t gyro question
Thanks Z!
The on-line HBK2 manual ( http://www.heliguy.com/i/HB_King_v2%20Manual.pdf ) didn't show a close up of the transmitter controls, even though my printed copy (on the work table in the basement) did show it as you describe. Rats!
So does anyone know what the pre-set gain in the stock Tx looks like to a 2100T? If it looked like "something reasonable" to the gyro, couldn't it work anyway? Or would you need to be able to adjust it separately for rate or HH mode too? How does the stock set up handle those two modes? I gave away all these stock parts, or I'l try plugging it up to the 2100T to see...
Receivers don't seem to be too expensive ($50-$75), but it seems like any of the programmable transmitters are over $100 (even if they do come with new receivers too). I got my Dx6i with receiver (AR6200) from U.S. HS for $169 - just over the price of the 2100T gyro and tail servo combo...
Sorry SirSyKo

RE: Quik 2100t gyro question
The stock TX just has 2 separate presets...One for rate mode(switch in the up position), one for HH mode(switch in the down position). But if you have a DX6i who cares!! Hahaha Set the gyro up with the switch up and the value for that switch position at 25(in the DX6i, anything under 50 is rate mode, anything over 50 is HH Mode). Once servo horn is installed at 90 degrees and your hover tests are holding the tail(or close), flip the switch down with a starting value for position 2 at around 72....Keep turning that number up till you get wag, if you get wag, turn the number down till it goes away....If you need the absolute full explanation and steps from the start [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7757417/tm.htm]Go to this thread...[/link]
