My Posts This: Topic Forum | I'm very interested in this gyro and servo myself. However, the thought that it takes less space is somewhat offset by the fact that the box HAS to be mounted horizontally, on a fairly large plate, under the canopy. Most of us mount the gyro control boxes of 501-611 series gyros vertically next to a GV box. Also, I wouldn't want to have it mounted aft, like some gyro sensors are. Oil could get inside fairly easy through the pushbuttons. You could tape over them if they were recessed like the 401s, but since they are exposed, I don't know about putting tape over them.
Anyways, finding perfectly horizontal real estate to put that box on could be a challenge for some machines. One option is to put it upside down under the battery tray of some machines. My X-Specs have a great shelf on which to mount this box up top of the servo frame, so I know I'm good. 
Just something to think about...
