Hi,

I would like to purchase a gyro for my sceadu50, but only 2 models are available at the local retailer (Dubai), the Robbe 3D (8065) and the Futaba GY240. They cost almost the same, which one I should go for?

I have just bought and fitted a GV-1 to my Sceadu, and had first flight yesterday.
I can highly recommend this. Set up is very easy, and it is quite intuitive to use once you have read the instructions. The digital screen helps a lot.

I did look at the Robbe, but was put off by the lack of display (unless you have a Multiplex TX in which case you can buy a special lead and plug the governor into that).

When I was investigating which one to buy, both were highly recommended. I chose the Futaba purely because of the display, and the fact that this makes it so much easier to use and know your settings.

Which ever you chose, you won't be disappointed. I can't believe how much smoother it makes the whole heli feel.

Good luck

I really must learn to read posts properly.

Guess I was so excited about my GV-1, and read the word 'governor' when you typed 'gyro'. Doh !

Sorry 'bout that.

By the way, is the GY240 a HH gyro?

Yes, the GY240 is a heading hold. Switching and gain adjust are via DIP switches on the unit, so you can't change these things remotely.

Good budget gyro.

Well, thanks for the info, to be in the safe side, I go for the Futaba. I just could not find anybody using the Robbe...
