I beleive with a seperate gyro, you'ld need a speed controler for the tail motor. Not sure how they do it with a Eflite g90 gyro, maybe refferancing that instal would clear up your ?

No not unless you have a CP PRO. The CP has a 4+1 unit which has proportioning for the tail, and gyro built in. The CP pro mixer will allow an external gyro to be used.

That is not correct the cp pro has also a 6 channel reciever and a gyro can be used. It even offers a gyro upgrade fro the cp pro.

Actually, you can use one on the standard CP. IF you dont mind taking your 4 in 1 apart, and adding a couple servo extionsion wires to it. I actually Got a futaba rx in my CP, using the speed control from the 4 in 1, and a G90. Works better than I had ever thought.

the align hh gyro is a pile just like the eflite g90. dont waste your money. it has MAD temp drift for one thing, 2nd it really doesnt work optimally with a tail motor.
if you want improved flying, the best upgrade is a real heli Tx ie DX7 heli microlite. the STOCK gyro 4in1 mixer works awesome when dialed in and combined with programmable mixing dialed in, it will probably be better than a HH on BCP. the DD tail upgrade is awesome if you can get it to last long by investing in the Correct motor that can handle higher voltage. with this tx you will be able to dial the twitchiness away from the BCP as well as improve ECCPM cyclic and colective accuracy. you will have Thr and pitch curves to get it to fly the way YOU want.
finally when you upgrade to a heli worth upgrading ie trex, dragonus, raptor, synergy, etc you will have a perfectly capable Tx for it already.

How do you connect the Spectrum microlite receiver to the 4 in 1 mixer? Are there any mods needed, or is it just plug and play?
