I was thinking about using that setup on the tail. Im pretty sure I wont be able to use my HS65MGs at all huh.

Ive seen a couple of pic of tail mounted servos is there any downfall to using that setup. Oh if someone has a pic of a tail mounted servo can you post it thanks.

No downfall to using a servo on the tail rather than in the frame, just remember you may have to shift your lipo ahead to counteract the center of gravity. No you will not be able to use HS65s in a Logo 10 as they are simply to small and would not handle the load of the disc either. A GY401 as your title states will be an adequate gyro for the Logo 10, the 9650 as a tail servo on the Logo 10 will not be adequate IMHO, you should source out a 9254 or simliar rated servo, Hitec "HS-6965HB" work well I hear for tr servo and are cheaper to buy. Good luck and have fun. :wink:

OICU812 thanks for all the great info, as you can tell Im at the setup stage of my build. Can you tell me what servos would you reccomend for the rest of my Logo 10, thanks again.

3 Futaba 9650's for ya cyclic
1 Futaba 9254 for ur tail
1 Fut 401

that's it..dun n dusted. Most suitable for the L10. Seriously dont muck around with anything else...

As Logoheli stated either Futaba 9650s or JR 3421 servos for cyclic, I prefer the 9650 myself.

OICU812 is right, 9650 is not so good as a tail choice. I have one in mine and it's not fast enough. It worked well in my QJ-8, but not in the L10. It can't keep up and won't stop wagging. Go with the 9254...money well spent....rock solid tail. I'll be putting one in mine soon.
