Default RE: Which Aeroplane Gyros are best?

ORIGINAL: HarryC
Something to consider is fade out, the ACT gyro has it and is adjustable, maybe it is so standard that some gyros don’t mention it but I can’t see anything about it on the description of the Futaba 351 on Ripmax’s website. Fade out means the gyro response is reduced as you move the control stick. If the gyro does not fade out, it fights your controls. Harry
I wish it were standard Harry but I don't think it is. JR refers to this as "stick priority". They have you compensate for it by programming the gyro gain on a mix-curve....normal gain with the control stick centered and reducing to zero gain at full stick throw. I think Futaba has a different term for it but essentially does the same thing.

I need 2 axis gyro control on my Eurosport so I'm going to try a Futaba 352 and program it with mixing curves on my JR 12X. We'll see how it goes.
