e-Electric General Discussion > HEAD-LOCK GYRO

Hello everyone.
This is my first time on your forum.
I am very happy to be surrounded by so many knowledgeable individuals and am seeking the wisdom and answers that will help me with my hobby.
I currently have an Esky 6 CH Belt-CP and a Blade cp pro, and would like to purchase an Esky 6 CH Honey Bee King 2
My question is, if I install a head-lock gyro, do I need to remove the original one that came with the bird?
Also what do you think of the inexpensive ESKY EK2-0704B Head Lock Gyro?
Thank you in advance for your inputs and direction.
Tino.

1-TINO, yes you just swap out the gyro that's on it with the new one; as far as the ESKY EK2-0704B Head Lock Gyro, not sure how good it is, but I'm sure it will be better than the rate gyro that comes with the heli.
Good luck and enjoy.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you.

If you're going to replace the gyro and think you might be in the hobby for some time to come, you might want to consider going with something proven that might carry over to your next heli.

I can't specifically bag on the eSky gyro, but typically with the electronics in these birds you will get what you pay for. I think you'll be able to find a Futaba GY-401 used on this forum or eBay for under $100, and while it might not be the top-of-the-line anymore, few would dispute it's performance on up to and beyond the skill level that most of us will ever achieve. I have three of these and they are good, solid gyros--easy to setup and easy to forget about because they just plain work.
