Hey guys!

I was thinking of upgrade my plastic Belt CP (already upgraded w. 4 TP SG-90 servos and control arm mod) with a new gyro and I need your help and thaugts on the matter. :hug:

When looking at gyros now it seems E-Sky EK2-0704a is sold out and the EK2-0704B is not fitting the standard EK2-0406A Tx. So if I want a cheap (yes I'm flying on a budget :thumbdown:) HH gyro that still flyes good, which one can I choose?

Also I would like your thaughts on Tx's, is the Futaba 6EXHP or Spectrum DX6i good ones and can I use them if I buy a better heli in the future?

Aprisiate your help!

Get the Telebee Gyro.

I am not one for 2.4 Radios because of my location.... Instead i got the Hi-tec Optic 6
FM Computer Radio... Has all the bells and dodads... but if you want a 2.4 might as
well follow the crowd and get the DX6i.

If you are looking at a better heli in the future maybe you should look at a Tx with 7 channels or more. I use the DX7 and have no probs. If you get a better Tx it wont matter what gyro you get.
But you could try the gy240 or similar.
Also have you done an ebay search for the old esky gyro.
Try these.

I don't know where you live but US Hobby Supply still has em', as well as the Telebee. Here's a link to their gyros. http://www.ushobbysupply.com/index.php?cPath=36&osCsid=5043a9e2751ccde9eed95097ca7f4ac0
If you go with the EK2-0704A just make sure you mount it properly!:thumbup:

I purchased my TeleBee gyro from USHobbySupply and it shipped quick and has worked perfectly.
