Default head locking gyros??

a friend of mine was telling me about this.. He recently put one in his blade cp pro and he said it made a huge difference.. I guess it holds the tail in place alot better. Do they make one of these?? I"m seriously starting to consider selling my axe for a blade cp pro due to the better parts and cheaper prices..

Sure the Futaba Gy240 and 401 are two examples of heading lock gyros, there's many others.

So far I haven't seen anyone actually try a HH Gyro on the Axe CP. Plenty of people have added them to their Blade CP/CPP's tho.

Plenty of parts available for the Blade CP/CPP's BUT.. you're gonna have to upgrade the tail motor to either their dual-motor setup, or one of the other 3rd party hacks or you'll just burn the tail motors up. I didn't get the Blade just because the Axe is a whole lot sturdier. At this point I think I'd take a long hard look at some of the <$300 versions out there with belt or shaft driven tails, ie: Raptor G2? or the troublesome Walkera's.. Lot more aluminum on them and no tail motor to burn out/use battery power. Seems a lot of them also have seperate Gyros so swapping in a HH shouldn't be as much hassle. *Shrugs*

ya, he said his gyro just plugged in, I dunno if its a eflight one or what. He said it pretty much took all his left stick movement out. I got that axe over the blade because it looked alot stronger to me aswell.. ITs my first heli. My biggest complaint is the batteries they die way to fast... I might just upgrade to lipo pack and keep on practicing and get a nicer heli in a year or 2.
