You don't just throw the Guardian into a model...some thought must be given to where your going to mount it and you must be very carful how you plug everything in. I just finished modifying my aircraft to mount the Guardian into the airframe and she is ready to fly. The model does fly and have a couple of dozen flights on it without the Guardian installed. The Eagle Tree Guardian is not the Hobby King orange case unit, but a bit more of an advanced unit. You can set the unit up on your computer with a free down load for your computer on their web site. There are excellent instructions, for the "complete idiot" on RCGroups (this information really helped me out) and I do suggest you down load these instructions and print them out. After you read the Guardians and the RCGroups information, you will be able to get your Guardian installed and working properly.

A gentleman by the name of Rick Wardrop did a whole essay on the Eagle Tree Guardian, and he makes the instructions clear and easy to adopt into your aircraft. He also gives you good information on how to set up your Transmitter, no matter what type of Tx you are using.
I have two of the units now and I'm installing the second unit into a Gee Bee R3 20cc gas model.
Read the instructions that Eagle Tree gives you...then read Rick's information and if your still confused...send an e-mail to Eagle Tree and they will answer you in a day or two with the fix.

Thank you for your input. Yours is the kind of information that I am looking for, before I make the $$$$ investment.
Might want to mention that I am considering putting them into a Hanger 9 Christen Eagle powered by an OS GT 22. Also, into a Great Planes Revolver 70 powered with a DLE-20. Thinking it might be really nice to have a gyro, at least in the Christen Eagle.
