You can't go wrong with the Futaba Gy401 gyro with the S9253 servo.
Simple and easy to use and gives fantastic tail holding power. Is
switchable from the Tx for HH and rate mode so you switch modes at any
time during flight.

Price in Singapore dollars for conversion consult

For a beginner controlling the tail of a heli is one of the most
difficult tasks to perform thus the more work that a gyro does the
easier it is for the beginner hence the recommendation for a HH gyro
mind you if for some reason you find you don't like HH then just run
it as a rate gyro.
