A review of the HK401B gyro from hobbyking.

Rating (1-10): 1

Pros:

    - Cheap

    - Simple

Cons:    

    - Does not work as a tail gyro on a helicopter

 

I will look into the use on a plane, as i seen that others have more luck useing it that way, but as a tail gyro on a helicopter nope.

Hey lukee31, I do know that you need to set the gain on the transmitter, Im happy that yours work fine, as I tried a lot of combo's. and the wag only stop with gain about 7% (spektrum), and there the tail is loose.
check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDRD9ftAEfQ
and the one that works, is the old stock, but the other 8 I got is the new stock.

But if you got the new stock and it works, Im happy to hear that

The gyro isnt too sensitive on a heli. BUT you need to plug the extra signal lead into CH5 on your receiver and set the GAIN via your transmitter manually, when you do this it is a relatively good gyro :) (but no where near the best)
