NEW JR G770T gyro!!

[nando v. arnhem]

Hello all,

There will be a new JR gyro on the market called the G770T. It should perform the same or even better than the 7000T. It comes with the very fast 8900G servo. The case of the gyro is completly made out of metal. The exact price and releasedate is not accounted yet, but the price would be around 200 euros. Maybe a good choice instead of the 401?

Here are some specs:
Dimensions: 25*27 mm
weight: 30 grams
It will work from 4.8 to 6.0 volt

The 8900G servo:
0.05 sec/60 degrees (Futaba measures by 45 degrees!)
3.5 kg of torque

Here are some pictures I took today:

I will fly the gyro this weekend and share my experiences with it with you.

Hi,

Today I have flown the gyro on my Vibe. Unfortuantly I had some problems with the clutch during the first flight, so I couldn't fly 3D. I hope I will soon.

My first impressions are GREAT! I've never flown a gyro which was so stable in the hover (and today there was ALOT of wind). The piroets were amazing! They were really constant. I'm sure I will use it at the 3D masters this year

I'll post some details soon after I've fixed the clutch.
I hope the weather will be ok tomorrow, but the forecasts are sucks..

Hi,

So last weekend I had the chance to fly 3D with the 770T. I must say, this gyro rocks! Those stops are amazing and the piroetting loop was so solid and consistent. It should work better than the 7000T.

The setup works basicly like a 401, one limiter and a servo-output reverseswitch. There is also a option to select the type of servo (digital or normal). The gyro is out yet, the most of the shops in the UK will recieve them next week orso. Some shops like Ishiimokei do stock them for about 200 dollars incl the 8900G servo.

Has anybody flown this gyro also? What are your experiences?

I hope I'm able to make a video next weekend,
Nando

Doubt it will be imported here into the USA. The 6000 and 7000 were never brought in. I understand Team pilots did not like how they performed.
Gyro looks simple enough only a couple leads coming out the side.

Hi David,

I'm not sure if they will be brought to the USA, but I think they will.
You say that the 7000T is not imported to the US, but I can find them on several sites like ronlund and horizonhobby?

Thanks
Nando

Yeah I see Rick's has them. I was going by what a couple of Team pilots told me about it.

Hi all,

This gyro will be imported by Horizonhobby early July.
Also, the 8900G tailservo will be at the Horizonhobby site soon.

Cool news!
