I have seen multiple 250s flying very stable, with the newer gyro/servo combo from Align itself (GP780 / DS420).

hi anwar bhai
can i use this Turnigy® Mini MEMS GYRO

No reviews at the site at, I think if its not urgent, you can wait for some time.

Buying a second hand gyro is a good option when u know the seller, or else you will never know if it has been in a crash.

I think experienced people will be in a better place to comment on these.

rccrazydoc... i have a align gyro from my trex 250 which i dont fly nowadays and also a few gy401's, spartan, solid G, logitec, hitec  gyros...i live in bahrain and will pm you my contact ..

awesome sujju...let me know if u can give one of them to me....il pay you through money transfer or cheque or something...

Sujju, is that a gyro shop there?

You can get one of the other known brands for the same price or a bit more (second hand). 

u speaking about intertia nano?

More like rcgroups, runryder, rcuniverse, ebay etc to source better/brands gyros at similar costs as that new Turnigy one.

am scouting through these sites anwar bhai...hopefully will find a good deal

how is align gp780?there are some good deals available...

That is what I have seen most widely used.  But pair it with the DS420 servo.

great then i hope i get a good deal....will keep you guys updated...thanks a lot...

hi guys long time!...good news and bad news..my trex is complete and after bugging my heli gurus in b'lore i.e. Vinay and Rajesh i finally set it up  must say its a beautiful bird  and the bad news is after hovering 2 packs for the very first time crashed it due to a small gust!  but was worth everything...landed up with
a broken tail boom,
bent tail rotor shaft
and guess i damaged the one way bearing
meanwhile practicing on my hbcp3..
and ya i finally sorted out the tail on my 250...ds420-gp780 works great!

btw it was my first ever hover and god what a beautiful sight watching your hard work fly in front of you..

Well, mostly good news, with a tiny bit of bad news sprinkled on it

I would assume that pictures/videos were taken of this historic event in the good doctor's life

Congrats doc on your first hover!

thanks guys...wil post some pics/vids soon..hopefully i should only get better at flying here on...wish me luck...and c you soon vinay;-)

Sure, will meet. Download and start using a good sim by then.

for a 250 for me it is only 1 gyro, beast x, fbl do miracles to small machines with there flimsy linkages in the head and binding problems and it cost pretty much same as a spartan gyro

Good point about getting rid of small head linkages !

For a cost conscious beginner, the stock Align setup would work pretty well.  The FBL upgrade can be done any time in future too.

is sure works but after i put a mini v on the 1 i had it i had about 400% more control of the heli, and became very predicable
