I had an accident and a flybar paddle hit my gyro (don`t ask how). Some pics:

It doesn`t look damaged at all just the outer shell but it behaves strange. When i connect it it moves right - left constantly. Any way i can reset or something?

I wouldn`t care if this was one of my std walkera gyros but this is worth over $100 so i don`t want to buy another if i can fix this.

Any ideas?

Contact hobby services and see what they say it might cost to fix it. I would hate to gamble a helicopter on a change the gyro would fail in flight. You know if it did fail, it would be at the worst possible time to, inverted, close to the ground at a high speed. Way back it was about 50% the cost of a new one for any repair. Not sure if that is still the way it is or not.

As it already is going right left right left constantly it`s not even in use now Is "hobby services" a place in particular or just a hobby shop in general?

Thx for the help!

It's Hobbico Support. The number is: (217) 398-8970. Call them, go to Futaba, ask to speak to a technical advisor/technician/whatever and ask them directly.
I'd hate to see you having to buy a new gyro, but I'd also hate for you to have to buy a new chopper because of a failed gyro.

Without checking it out, we'd not know what might be wrong. The unit should be sent to the service center.

So i just send it over then. I`m in Norway so should i still send it to the one in the US?

You send it to us if it was purchased from North America, otherwise, use your regular Futaba service center.
