Is that a very expensive Futaba gyro sitting ON TOP of the tail boom block asking to get torn off by the random flybar paddle strike??? [X(]
Yup. Don't jinx me.
The way I see it if you want quality performance you need quality parts.
No Jinx, just a word of caution. I have read many a horror story on other heli forums about people losing their gyros due to a paddle blade strike. Hell, I once had a pretty rough landing with my TRex and had a boomstrike, lost one of my main blades and seriously tweaked the flybar rod. Upon closer inspection I saw that the casing on the tail control servo was cracked!!! If my gyro had been on top gues what would have taken the blow?
