It's not really the size that matters...it's the weight.

The CSM LW200 is only 6 grams.

Toshi,

I don't know anything about CSM LW200, but this 400GYRO can be controlled remotely on the transmitter.

Customers are seeking smallest possible tail lock gyro to fit their small EP heli. Am I right? :confused:

Micro heli pilots are more concerned about weight than size. A futaba Gy240 will fit in most small micro-helis. With lightening, it can be gotten down to about 12-13g.

Futaba GY240 is 23.2g while 400GYRO is 11.8g. Moreover, you can't control gyro sensitivity of GY240 on the transmitter. 400GYRO is really the Futaba GY401 class. You may download the instruction manual of 400GYRO from http://www.tedani.com/docs/400gyro.pdf.

Can it be lightened? Can the case be removed, wire replaced ect...

You may shorten the wire (it is 17 inches or 43mm long) to reduce its weight.

The gyro without wire is just 6g.

6g without wire is a lot more impressive than 11.8 grams. I would still like to know what it weighs with the case remove and covered in heat shrink. A lot of people are comparing it to a 240 that has had that type of thing done to it.

Yes, I know it would void any waranty it might have....

Has anyone used this gyro yet that can comment on how well it works compared to a gy240 or gy 410?

400GYRO doesn't have a case. Instead, it is wrapped by a plastic sheet. I believe that removing the plastic wrap doesn't do much help. See the attached pictures below for details:

cool! It looked like it had a case from the earlier pics.

If we only have a 5 channel RX, is it possible to use it without the transmitter gain adjust?

Yes. Please read the instruction manual (http://www.tedani.com/docs/400gyro.pdf) for details.

Still the question is, how does it compare with the gy401 gyro as far as holding the tail solid with no drifting at all?

I would like to get one but I don't want to be the test person.

This question has to be answered by users.

I have this gyro on my T-Rex 450X. It is hard to adjust. I am still looking for an optimum point. So far it either does inadequate job or make the tail oscillate. I have a GY401 on my Shogun. GY401 is much easier to adjust (or requires almost no adjustment) and very stable. The instruction manual is somewhat obscure and is not comparable to Futaba's manual. This manual does not mention about the orientation of the gyro. I first guessed and placed it on top of the tail mount like GY401. I was wrong. I had to remount it to the side of the helicopter. I still don't understand what they mean by "Dual Mode". I wonder if the gain value of 50% separates HH mode and Standard model like GY401 does.

I admit this gyro is much cheaper than GY401. I paid $60. Basically I got what I paid for. :(

I have seen a lot of good reports on it. Check this thread for a few different reports http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=242843 One guy was having a little trouble, but it turned out he had it mounted on its side. The 401 is also heavier.
