e-MS Composit Hornet > Hey Guys is this Gyro any good...ms-24 remote gain gyro

Do you guys know if the ms-24 remote gain gyro is any good for 3D on the X3D Hornet, or would I have to put a 401 on the tail? Thanks.

Hi, the main issue I found with the MS-044 13g (~7g lightened?) which would effect 3D moves is the uneven piro rate that tends to speed up and slow down at high rotation rates. Without a consistent rotation I would imagine pulling piro/chaos flips a bit of a problem.
Otherwise for general flight the gyro is a reasonable alternative if you don't require digital servo support. To get a faster piro rate at high HH gain settings I ran a 'V' curve to lower the gain on rudder stick input (more here).

The 27g(~19g lightened) 401 is very heavy for a micro of this size and will impact agility, power and flight time. The recent alternative is the Logictech 2100t 10g (~6g lightened) but I've yet to completely tune and dial my tail in yet, although that setup is not a stock X-3D (610mm rotor). Even then I won't be pulling piro flips anytime soon (from lack of pilot ability ).
You might take a look at the CSM range 420e and 560 PC link programmable (many options).

I just took out the Futaba GY401 out of my Hornet X-3D and replaced it with the LogicTech 2100T. I can definetively tell the difference in weight. It feels "lighter" and flies better with 15+ less grams. I would definetively recommend the LogicTech giro for micro helis.

Also, here is a great post on how to set up the LogicTech 2100T gyro: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=670786
