Hi Enry74hh

What about the Logictech's : LT 2100 + S9650 or the big brother LT 6100 + LTS 6100G ?

Seems to be good combo's too !

Grtz,
Dirk

I'm going to use the Logictech 2100t + 9257 (9650 is slow and outdated since the 9257 became available.. @ $55 a piece they aren't to expensive either!)

I need to get the 500 first, but my experience with this gyro on the T-rex 450 are pretty good. I also use the 6100t on the T-rex 600 and that one is great! A tiny bit better than the 601 I had on it before.
I've been flying this gyro's for about a year now with very good results.

Cheers,

Richard

Are you guys voting what you are convinced is the absolute best combo, or what you actually have?

I miss a combination...

Futaba GY401 + S2957

The S9254 in most cases tail heavy.
And guys, the S9650 is out-dated since the S9257 is available.

If you don't own or have flown a certain combo, how can you vote for it?

I know Ferrari's are nice cars, but I have never driven one... so I can not tell for sure!

Cheers,

Richard

+1 because thats what i have. Inexpensive and works great for me. I think the heli might need a bit more tail blade as I had to max the EPA on the tail to get the piro I am used to. But Have yet to tach the head. 13T at 100% like everyone else.

770 & 9257 is killer! Holds well in full speed inverted backwards then pull a hard loop!

That is the real holding test of any gyro I think anyway!

I have a 3400g ready to go on the tail with the spartan.
servo
What would be the benefit of running a full size servo like the futaba or Jr8900g?
