Default RE: Good small heli to put a Heading Lock gyro in?


ORIGINAL: jaketrouble

i dont think you can put a hh gyro on a fp heli. they dont have a servo for the tail and that is what the gyro hooks thru in order to hold to help control the tail.. i could be wrong but i dont think it can be done... jake.
That's what I was wondering. My little Walkera 4 controls the tail by increasing or decreasing voltage to the tail rotor motor, via a small ESC. SUpposedly it should be just as controllable as any other method, though perhaps unsuitable to inverted flight.

But for simple beginner helicopters, is it ever done that way?
