Hi All

Cheers

3DNT gyro

Hi,

I put a 601 on my 3DNT but I serious run out of space!!
So I put the 601 on something else and now I have a CSM560 on it... with a 8700g servo its a great setup..

The good thing is that it's just one unit, so you mount the 560 on the tailboom clamps..

Also I ended up putting a big battery on the back with the RX to get the CofG in the right place.. Thus you dont have much space left for control panel boxes like the 601 or the GV-1... If you are fitting a guv, the TJ is a great space saving alternative - and it's cheaper!

good luck

Yeah mine ran a treat with that combo... but it got so busy at one point!

Then one of my servos stopped and made a right tail-in mess!.... Ended up putting the 601 on something else.... but got a 560 and a TJ now on my 3DNT and its seems to work very well.. and they take up must less space.

GY401 +S9250

as recommended by Jan.

I flew once a 3DNT with a GY601+S9251, it is in deed better, pyro rate can be VERY impressive, stop are smoother and more precise.
But cost is higher, and I must say I am far from the limits of the GY401 at least today.
So this combination gives a very good result, and it is easy to install and setup.
One of my friend uses a GY401+S9253 on a more recent 3DNT, the one including additional weights on the tail blade holders.
I checked that the effort required to move the tail control rod by hand is in deed much lower with the improve tail blade holders.
It is almost easy to do, if you have a GV1 on the engine.
It would be great if someone could explain the physics behind this improvement.
