Futaba GY-401 will do all you need for quite a while. They are widely available for $200

Check E-bay. THere are several on there for sale. Some come with the servo, some don't. You might try Ricks or Heliproz, I think I saw them for 199 on one of their "special" price lists.

Dude: you should consider the Futaba GY401 with S9253 Digital Servo. I have them in both my birds and they are Awsome. Easy to set-up and operate too!

Default GY401 + 9253

Can't go wrong with the GY401. My buddy has it in his Fury Extreme. Will keep up with just about anything except really fast backwards flight. Try Heli Hut, they have the combo for $185.

401 is a great beginner gyro but the 9253 just isnt torquey enuff for hard 3d...

The 560 8700 combo is a better bet if you are willing to put in the time to set it up right if it doesnt work straight off...

It does like a high headspeed as it is a dedicated 3d gyro so if you are running a low headspeed then go with the 401 for now...

HANDS DOWN the GY401 and the 9253 combo IS THE BEST BANG FOR YOU BUCK - very trouble free , very dependable , easy to set up . and yes we have seen this combo on many .30 & .60 size machines doing 3D flight
