| No I don't hate it. I just think its ridiculos comparing gyros in terms of "power" as if we were talking about an engine.
Listen, what made me jump to the spartan was its size, weight and peformance. You don't see me bashing other gyros (well except for the logictech) just because I feel like. My comments usually are only answers to other people's post about ridiculous claims.
We all know that both the spartan and SolidG are top of the line gyros nowadays. Yes, the SolidG is using the old 611 sensor but their programming is superior to the 611. The spartan uses another sensor (hence its size) but are custom configured at the factory (not to mention their internal code which is something from another world).
You can't go wrong with any of them. It ends up being a matter of choice and personal preference. The default settings of one might suit you better than the other but it is absolutely possible (on the spartan anyway) to customize the response to your personal preference.
When sombody sais Gyro X gives a better piro rate than Gyro Y... well, change the limits on gyro Y until you reach the response of Gyro X. In the end what matters for me is:
a) tail holds through every maneuver I can perform
b) piruetting rate is constant
c) its ease of use. Hence no headaches with mounting, drifting, etc
When a gyro does all 3, I have no problem in using it. I don't care if its called DS760 or SolidG or anything else. I just don't come here trying to convince a SolidG user to change to Spartan as I think its ridiculous trying to convince a Spartan user to go out and buy a solidG.
Some guys try to make it look like that if you go with brand X your heli won't lift from the ground without loosing its tail. Thats not true. I bet that 99% of the guys can't even distinguish a SG from a Spartan when flying it (I sure couldn't) so don't come here sayign "wow its so much better. I can now do a 360 piro without problems" lol
my two cents
