anybody look at this month's issue of rc heli? i was curious if anyone has tried using the interesting setup shown by john adams from eflight (developer of the blade & spektrum radio's). the most interesting part to me was the use of 2 gyros, which he claims gives the ultimate tail control for 3D. he uses a g90 at 100% gain for a solid lock, along with the stock 3n1 rate gyro set to 25% to eliminate wag (very interesting!!!). he states that using the 2 gyros works extremely well with the gws DD & a 3020 prop. i'm assuming since there's no separate tail esc listed, he must be running from the rx, to the g90, then to the 3n1, making use of the stock tail esc. right guys?

i don't have a spare 3n1, but i figured i'd post this for anyone who has a 4n1 & a g90. if you guys try it and like it, please let me know so i can get myself a 3n1 and follow along.

btw, among other interesting tidbits from john adams blade:
-wood eflight symmetricals (lighter than cf for faster cyclic)
-10.5" boom (chopped for lower inertia)
-blade grips flipped upside down (LE control for more precise cyclic)
-g90 is mounted up front, on side of 4n1 (help balancing & reduce inertia)
-eflight 4100kV (10T pinion from HPI RS4 car)
-phx 10 esc (fixed heli mode?, with motor hardwired to esc, lol)
-uH Al swash (for more cyclic travel)
-s60 servos (lighter & faster, and don't tell anyone they're digital)
-dx7 radio
-tp3S730

this could be the stuff we've been waiting for on our blades!!! hehe, and it's all been around for a while.

cheers,

[edit: added blade grip mod & pinion that i left out plus a few why's.]
