E-sky has a new HH gyro I bought from BP. It was pretty much plug in and fly with my Blade CP Pro! The tail holds MUCH better than the stock gyro. I imagine this would be a great mod for people just starting out with helis since the tail, while not perfect, holds its heading very well. Too bad I lost it in the sun today and TOTALLY destroyed the frame [:@] I'm rebuilding with stock parts but going for the GWS DD tail since I think the stock tail is limiting the gyros potential.

These mods have made the CP Pro fly like totally different machine. Well worth the money.

Brushless motor $24
ESC $20
HH Gyro $38

did you have to install it upside down? I did due to the lack of a reverse switch.

Nice

a lot less than my $78.0 align RCE-500X

or my JR G500T

I don't think so, but I don't know which way is righ-side-up? I just taped it to the two servos in the back, like they show in the Blade manual with the E-flight gyro. The directions with the E-sky are lousy but I just plugged everything in like the Blade manual shows with the E-flight gyro and it works perfect.

how did it hold for aerobatics with the stock tail?

The stock tail held well if you were smooth on the collective. I could do BIG round loops and barely have to touch the rudder. The tail stayed pretty well during rolls. If you tried a quick back flip the tail would swing back and forth. Since I just crashed it's a perfect time to upgrade to a DD tail (only costs $10).

There are 2 flat sides on the gyro. The one opposite the Lable is the "Side" and the smaller one at 90deg from the lable is the Top. it would seem like it should be placed with either the big flat or the little one down but you have to put the little flat on top.

Mine is mounted exactly as the previous picture shows. I never tried any other orientation, so I guess I got lucky

next time you have to remove it look at the side you have on the bottom as compared to the top. I guess all the esky helis have belt driven tail rotors and dont need the reversing. A switch would have been nice though and some real instructions too.
