XMHobbies G401B HH gyro. Locked and Loaded. - Page 5

Gino CP · Dec 02, 2008, 04:52 PM

For my digital servo, and based on the picture you find on XMSeller's site, my Delay is set to 1 o'clock while Endpoints are on 1 o'clock. On my DX7, on a range of 0-150%, my Gain is set to 60%. My tail slider is set to them middle. I didn't bother setting in rate. So this setting is probably different if you mechanically set for rate.

Anybody tried this Gyro on a Gaui 200? I know folks are putting the GY 401 on their Gaui's so I figure this Gyro would work fine there too.

Gino, does this gyro has digital mode?
do you use digital mode on your digital servo?

Gino CP · Dec 02, 2008, 05:42 PM

It should work on a Gaui 200. Yes, it has digital mode. Mine is set on digital mode for my Fusonic digital servo. Fine little gyro this HB-D-02. As tiny as your Esky servos. But I had to dial in some Delay to stop bounce on quick stops. This allowed me to raise the gain a bit more.

Is this gyro the same as the RC-Tek one they want $90. for? it looks like the one they were selling at one time and said somthing about it being similar in hold to the 401

Gino CP · Dec 03, 2008, 02:07 AM

I really don't know. A lot of these GY401-looking gyros circulated since last year. But I have not heard of any that lived up to the GY401 fame. I got this gyro with doubts too. But I was really surprised how good it was.

Hey guys, I got my G401B from (www.ChaosRc.com) I have to say I was very surprised at how well it is Holding...

Thanks,
Devin

Gino, is the rev/nor switch set to "nor" in reference to how you mount yours?

Gino CP · Dec 03, 2008, 03:36 PM

It is set to normal. But don't just copy anyone's setup. Always check how the tail rotor moves before you spool up. The direction of tail spin must be correct (up into rotor wash). Tail thrust must oppose direction of tail turn. If you get this wrong, your heli will go into an uncontrollable piro.

sidneyw · Dec 03, 2008, 04:30 PM

Rev/Nor has to do with gyro orientation (sensor direction). I know what you mean.

Blusaber · Dec 03, 2008, 06:35 PM

Well cr

p

I thought I had ordered the 401b gyro but ordered the one underneath it (site updated) I don't know the difference between the too but I wanted the one Gino reviewed so I just ordered the correct one Hate when I do silly stuff like this

lol i do that all the time

Gino CP · Dec 03, 2008, 06:40 PM

Well try it anyway so we know the difference in performance if there is one. It's also a bit confusing seeing those identical-looking gyros on the same site with vague reference to performance.

Blusaber · Dec 03, 2008, 07:10 PM

Xm just replied to my e-mail (very promptly) saying the 401b was much better so I'll send the other one back.
