Hi everyone.
I have an older hawk 30 that has an AIRTRONICS SG-XBB (96255) gyro and 94323 servo. It doesn't hold the tail very well and looking to upgrade it without spending a ton.
What is everyone using in their nitro heli's??
Thanks for any responses.


*edit*
I did try a Telebee dual rate HH gyro from one of my HK450s, but the hold was worse then the vintage Airtronics unit.

I'm agreed. GY401 is the entry level gyro. Trying to scrimp on a gyro is not very smart. Generally any problem on the tail with a lesser gyro gets replaced with a GY401 (or better) anyway so why spend the money on the econo gyro?

I got a Futaba 401 as well on my raptor and finally got it set up right - ran my heli last night and it worked very well - the wind was a problem but the Gyro worked great!
