RotorWorkz G4 lower Gyro Mount

[mvortex]

I came up with an idea to move the gyro from the top of the G4 frame. I was changing from a GY240 to a GY401 and was worried about the gyro getting smacked by a blade or paddle. I machine a aluminum mount that fits below the tail boom camps and gives you a nice flat area to stick the gyro to. It uses existing screws and replaces two of the rear spacers. Here are some pics of the first prototype.

Maybe Charley could start making these out of Delrin to match the frame.

that makes it a clean installation, and it'd be hard to whack the gyro there.
good idea!

I am sure Charley will look into this. Looks really great.

Looks great. I was thinking of the same thing, but didn't have anything to make one so I just tossed it underneath. Nicely protected. :glasses:

I think that is where Charley has his when he first put it together. Before he had a gyro plate.... I could be wrong there has been so many :roll:

mvortex,

Looks Cool!!!! Lets Se what could be fabricated :wink:

Steve is right on the first G4 I didn't have a gyro plate and I actually mounted it under the motor and pulley up front (The first G4 was belt drive)

Hey Charley, I have several people asking for my part. I do not have the equipment to mass produce these. I hope you can get something together. I think it will sell.
