Ok as with most (Maybe all) FSBM owners I immediately noticed that although my tail was holding really well with the new mod the G90 just wont hold it dead still and lacks a little in more aggressive manuevers.
My G90 started acting odd and the connection pins to the tail servo started to cut out the tail servo control makeing my G90 too unpredictable to keep. I didn't want to replace it with another G90 sense it just wasn't enough Gyro for the new Freestyle tail mod. I looked at a lot of gyros of comparable weight and couldn't find one that I felt would certainly be enough.
I came to the conclusion that I would just use the popular 401. I was worried cause it is 18g heavier than the G90 and I didn't know how that would effect my CG and overall weight. Fortunately after installing my new 401 and spooling up to a hover I noticed no significant change in tail weight. I was compleately blown away but the helis tail hold and authority. I can hover an entire pack (6min) with out touching the rudder stick once if I wanted. I have thrown every thing I am capable of doing right now at this tail and it had held strong through them all. I even pulled off several Flips and Rolls both of manuevers I have never sucessfully compleated before. It is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who owns the FSBM and wants the most from their little CPP. I have a REX se and fly both all the time. I love my CPP now and am truely amazed at the performance I have finally squeezed out of this bad boy. VERY NICE
If anyone would like to see pics or has and specific things they would like to see let me know. I am more than happy to post some up.
