SpartanRC DS760 Gyro Review and Setup Vids

Finless · 10-02-2007, 05:03 PM

OK Angelos from SpartanRC.com sent me their new DS760 gyro to test and share with you folks how to setup!

Vids are in progress and I plan to use this on my Trex600N and later on a Trex450.

So here we go!

Overview and whats in the box!
Video Link ->DS760 Gyro Overview (43 Megs)

Flashing New Firmware in the Gyro
Video Link ->DS760 Firmware Flashing Process (25 Megs)

Gyro Setup using the Radio
Video Link ->DS760 Setup Process (65 Megs)

PC Configuration Software Overview
Video Link ->DS760 PC Configuration Software (15 Megs)

In a few weeks the gyro PC software should be available and I will show how to use that. This weekend I should be able to shoot some flying and testing of the gyro.
In the mean time here is the Trex600 enigne break in and tuning video I shot last weekend. I am using the gyro in this video. There is a little flying at the end of this video:

Here is Bert Kammerer's notes on setup of this gyro for several Trex helis! This is worth a look!

Hi Bob,

Looking at the manual and the list of servos compatible, how can I tell what servo type mine is? 1520uSec or 760uSec, what does that mean? I have a HS6965 for tail and need to replace my gyro for a T-Rex 600N.

As far as I know only the Futaba 9251 and 9256 support 760uSec. These are the servos that come with a 601/611 Futaba gyro. I personally dont know of any other servos out there that support that frame rate.

The Hitec HS6965 does not thus you would set for 1520uSec servo type.

I am anxiously waiting for the next step. I want to know what you think about this gyro.

I am holding on buying my next gyro for my 600N. I hesitate, since I am no 3D king, between the JR 770 3d, the Spartan (more $$). I would get the Logictech 6100T but I already have a servo. What about the Curtis Youngblood Solid G ?

I have a Logictech 2100 and I may try it even if it is rated for electric heli.

I am sure Bob's test flights will turn out great. Meanwhile... have you noticed what gyro Henry Caldwell is flying at the Phazor 600 promo videos!

Are you guys telling me this small gyro could be a competition to established systems as the Futaba 911 or the Logictech 6100?

Finless · 10-06-2007, 11:49 AM

It might be!

I am compressing the setup video now and plan to have it up in a few minutes. Today I go fly it BUT I am testing on a brand new heli (600n) and thus I am not sure how much I can test it as I also have to do engine break in. THus it may be a week or 2 before I can know the real performance.

After that I am going to put it on a 450 and see how it does there.
