First Heli What Gyro Should I Get??

I have been flying airplanes for a while and have always been interested in helicopters. I plan on buying a Hawk Sport with the new Thunder Tiger 39. I use the Futaba 9CAP and I have been told that radio will work fine. The only question I have is which gyro to start with. Any suggestions?? Heading hold??? Please Help.

Does the GY401 have Heading Hold?

What do you guys think of the GY502? This, I know, has Heading Hold.

So what's the major difference between the 401 and 502 besides the price?

502

The 401 is great. It thats the 502 has a few more features But you should do just fine with the 401~
