the 4 in 1 main motor ESC fried in my blade.

I have a PG03 gyro, a 35p and CC10 ESC, GWS 6 RX, and JR6102 TX

I want to plug the ESC's into the RX and mix them with the TX programming.

My concerns are:

Two ESC's means two power sources to the RX or if plugged into the Gyro, a power source going through the Gyro. Do I need to cut the power wire on the tail ESC so I'm not putting power back through the gyro to the RX?

Mixing....is it needed? Can the Gyro control the tail motor?

Does the tail motor ESC plug into the gyro and the gyro into the Rudder ch on the Rx?

I read of people using two ESC's with no mention of 2 in 1 mixer/gyro units.....How is this done?

thanks

I just finished my blade seperates. I went all brushless with a csm HH gyro. If you have a heading hold gyro then you dont need mixing(you just have to initializing it by holding full left after plugging in the battery.

I didnt want to put power through the gyro and I didnt want to cut my esc wire, so I got a 2 inch extention and cut it.

motor - esc - gyro - RX

You would need mixing if you have a rate gyro(which I believe the PG03 is) You might be better off to buy a used csm 200( they can be found for $50-65 used) or a nice futaba 401 for a headache free setup.
