Hey Rob, i was looking at your fleet looks like your using three different gyros, yes? One of them being the Dectrem 48V, yes. Whats your take on that gyro? We bought several for the EXI fleet. Seems to be getting great reviews. Thanks Rob, mike, [email protected]
Hey Mike, John...

Yes, you are correct..

The EXI has a HL400 Gyro that was taken from a Twister Gold CP - It is a very basic gyro but works ok. I only used it because I was impatient and wanted to fly the EXI ASAP.. It ended up being ok so I left it on.

The 450 GT has teh Dectrum.. Again, its a pretty good gyro, no real complaints.. It seems to be working fine for me in over 140 flights now..

and the 450 Pro has a Hobbyking HK401b.. I have to say this is the best of the 3 gyros.. it holds heading perfectly and never drifts It is the one I will use in any future helis.. and it is cheaper than the Detrum.

Just make sure you do the hot glue fix if you decided to try one (incidentally I did this hot glue mod to the Dectum as well, just to make it bullet proof.)
