does anyone have one of these? It is a gyro from helihobby that has zoom written on the cover. It is a heading hold gyro and also does standard hold. I just started on my electronics and went to install this and was wondering if anyone was using this type of gyro as well.


It is the third from the top:

This gyro looks exactly like the Beetle sold by Rick's.

I bought it to add a heading hold gyro to a Blade CP and it works fine in that application. It doesn't hold perfectly, but it's better than the stock gyro. It is in no way the equivalent of the GY 401. I believe that it's made by Telebee. Rick's has them on sale for about $50 as a close out.

did you run your gyro in series with tail servo?
