Default RE: GYRO POSITION ON HELI-MAX MX400 PRO?

SaCCal, sorry if you're not finding the answers you need. Specifically to the gyro question, a number of us, me included have tried different positions. The inside-the-body position seems in theory that it would work the best, but several, also including me, have had problems with it there. I put mine back on the platform over the boom and it's worked perfectly ever since. Yes, it's potentially exposed to damage from the flybar in a hard, flailing crash, but a lot of people fly that way and few have had that happen in comparison.

Yes, you can move the gyro around as you like without messing up most of the trims, although you may have to readjust the gain.

If you can go over the heli with a heli person who flies helis, either at the LHS or a club, that will get you the best, fastest answers. Short of that, do take a look at Finless' videos- he covers a lot of material. If you're still stuck on something, post back or pm me.
