i'm tryin to put in my gyro in my raptor 50. it's a futaba 401, and i know where it goes, i just don't know which way it's supposed to be oriented. i know where the bottom goes, but not which way the words point. i.e. do the words go towards the tail, side, nose, etc.

anyone know? or, does it even matter?

It doesn't matter which way it is turned. Just that the bottom is mounted to helicopter. It just needs to be parrelle to the mainshaft. It does not matter if it the top of the gyro is facing down or up, just as long as it is in a vertical axis.

I put my 401 on where I can read the GY401 looking from the tail and the wires come out on the left.
