My Posts This: Topic Forum | I currently have the GY520 on the G. I have a slight vibration in the heli I'm working on eliminating which does make the tail move a little, but I think it's rotor blade balance and not the gyro. I have a Koll Rotor Pro on order, since from reading, it's the best balancer.
I don't use the gyro menu and set end points on Aux2 for the gyro. I initially set it to 35 on the end points, but in a fast descent, the tail would oscillate violently, so I lowered it down to 25 and now it seems happy that way.
Man, I wish I could help you out on your request. I spend a huge amount of time routing and securing my wires on all my heli's. I would have to remove the Spartan from my Pred and the 520 from the G, which is just too painful of a thought. ok, ok, I'm a bit lazy. There, I said it.  Maybe if I get a wild hair, I'll do it. There must be someone out there using a Spartan on a Spectra-G.
I'm taking the Pred out today if the weather cooperates. I'm just waiting for the sun to come up. 
The BLS251 works great with the Spartan. I had that setup in my LOGO 600 before I converted it to FBL with the vstabi. The same Spartan gyro is now on my Ped. and the tail doesn't twitch, drift or wag.
If you do go with the Spartan, make sure you use the metal plate that comes with it. The plate adds mass to the gyro to make vibration dampening more effective. The gyro is very lite.
Just another crappy day in Paradise....Aloha! |
