| I have a older concept and it will still perform great, keep the gyro you have for now unless you can afford a $200 gy401, don't buy another until you can afford the 401. the one you have is ok for now, it will be a while before you will will be flying, and you will learn better tail control with a medium rate gyro. sure the 401 will be much easyer but costly if you don't have unlimited cash flow, figure $100 in extra tailbooms and rotors, and tail rotors, buy them now, I learned by my self with no sim, you can too, but a sim is much better and worth the money. I would set the pitch too +2 to +9 for starters for the first week or tank or 2 of gas until you can hover. others will dissagree here but it will save some tail booms and rotors if you don't have a sim. when you get into trouble it is natrual to cut the throttle and if you have -2 or -3 pitch as setup requires the blades still spin and can be forced into the boom. but this should only be done until you can hover about 3 feet high, then change the setup to -2 to +9 pitch. read the forums on throttle / pitch setups here their are some recient ones that will help. take in all the advice and decide for your self which to go for. many here will condem the old concept 30, but parts are cheap and it will perform real well. discharge your batteries and check them they may be ok in the tx, but rx you should go for something like a 2400mah or 1700mah.
good luck
