is there one on it, do they make one, or am i destined to buy lots of parts before i learn to fly

The axe doesn't have a head lock gyro but the stock gyro holds good once you get it all set.Most use the gy240 from futaba if you want a head lock gyro and are useing the stock radio.

hi...its a very good idea to buy as many parts as you can if you really like flying...ive not tried the gyro yet but i hear it works good......get extra blades,swashplate,swashplate stay,landing skids,tail rotor,blade grips,flybar,and any head link you can find....its a strong heli but if your like me and want to keep flying and not waiting on parts,,,buy lots so your able to fix and go...i have just about 2 of every part they make extra,,,i love to fly with no down time plus i live over a hr away from the closest shop.....happy flying......

yeah i am fixing to load up on all the goodies i can get flyin non stop again

Here you go:
