Which Gyro to choose ?
I'm looking to upgrade may old Morely dual rate gyro for a Heading Hold type. Has anybody got any suggestions as to which gyro to choose ?
The gyro will be fitted into a Hawk SE (30) with fuselage and I do not intend to fly 3D.
The radio gear I'm using is an old JR Apex 6 channel FM set which still works very well so I do not plan to upgrade it.
I've seen good reports on the Futaba GY401 gyro. Would this work with my JR radio ?
Should I be thinking of getting a special tail servo with a heading hold gyro ? (at present I use a standard JR NES 517)

RE: Which Gyro to choose ?
This is my order from the best to OK-
Gy601- perfect for hard 3-d flying extreme tail holding power - price around 350 w/servo
Gy502- good performer and has adjustability for tail end points- price around 250 w/servo
GY401- great for beginners easy to use- price around 200 w/servo
I have used all of them and the GY601 is my favorite for 3-D flying.

I have ued the 401 in the hawk and loved it, I have also used the 240 gyro in the Hawk and it performed great I like the 401 better as you can turn off the hh from the radio wich is great when flying 3d.
