Has anybody had problems with the JY401 gyro? I just really like the idea that I can turn physical knobs to set it and know exactly where its at. No blinking lights and hoping you are on the right setting.

And most important............. DONT GET ANNOYED !!!!!! Your nearly there and the more you do the more less likely something will go wrong and the more you know.
Thank you for this advice! It is irritating just looking at this thing every day and still haven't flown it. However, thanks to all of you I am learning a TON of information. I love this place! I am glad I decided to actually build a heli instead of getting a RTF. I didn't know half of what I do now before this build.

Heli's are like computers.......you will never know everything as they are always advancing! That gyro is the same as the Futaba setup. Main thing is to have equal throw each way on the tail pitch. Its easy enough to setup and download instructions if you do not have them. There is also a very good video here to show you how to set it up. You have to be a member of Helifreak to view videos so join it if you have not...

Thanks again Valkman! I talked to Mattox on chat last night and he said I should be fine with the JY401 as long as I'm not doing any 3D so Im gonna go ahead and use it til I switch to FBL

Could someone please post a good pic of the angle that their tail servo is mounted? Also of which horn you used? I'm having trouble getting the push rod totally straight.

Thanks again Valkman! Got the 401 setup tonight and it was SUPER easy! Got the tail linkage setup so it is perfectly straight. Only concern I have is that when the linkage gets close to the servo it bends up slightly. It doesn't seem to be a problem functionally but I just want to make sure. I have the ball on the closest hole to the center of the servo and cannot see a way to lower it any.

Do you mean when you use the rudder in a direction the pushrod bends? You can adjust how far the throw is on the gyro on the limit pot but still keep your limits on the rudder channel on the TX at 100%. Be carefull when turning the little pot on the gyro and use a small flat head screwdriver. Important.....if it only binds in one direction it means you have more travel in one direction than the other and the servo needs to be moved up or down the boom until it does not bind and you are at full throw in each direction. Or if it is only a bit out just turn the links on the pushrod.
Edit: I think I read you wrong. I see now your pushrod bends from the last rod guide to the servo horn. Mine did the same but I made up a carbon pushrod and done away with the guides. If it was mine I would bend the rod slightly between the last guide and the servo horn. It's only a slight bend. Either that or have friction on the guide due to it bending the rod which causes more issues.
O I see. The new kits must come with the very good. I have seen pics of guys here with one guide used alright. It looks like there is metal in the center of the rod where the guide goes? Maybe someone can confirm. If the rod is in fact carbon and it is 3mm or over you should be good.

Yeah, the newer kits includes the cf push rod for the tail.

I'm reading 5mm on the caliper Not sure if it's solid carbon or if something is in the center.

giby1: New guy here. Kind of new to heli's amd the electrics still throw me. Just ordered a Chaos 600 witha BO-105 for fuselage. Just wondering if there are any other "Old Farts" out there. Probably will be asking for all kinds of help with this project.

git er done: Hello to all chaos 600 e t/t owners, any one know what main and auto rotation gears are interchangeable with align, I would like to go with the new upgraded main and auto gears by align

Dr. Evil: git er done, you should post this question in the "Chaos 600" threads. I don't think too many ppl looks at this section. As far as your question goes, are you asking if the Trex main/auto gears will fit the Chaos?
