Hey guys, I have a T-Smart copter, 450size, co-axial with a combination RX/Gyro gadget and ESC for the brushed motors.
My question is, does a co-axial heli need a gyro? I would have though as long as the heli is level, it will only fly striaght up and down, there are no servos to control, and no conventional tail rotor (the tail rotor only pushes the tail up or down to make the main rotors pull the heli back or forward), so is there anything for a gyro to actually do?
The box says it has a gyro, but really the only control that steadies the heli seems to be the knob on the TX that controls the speed difference between the two sets of rotors to stop the heli spinning around.
I'd like to replace the stock RX setup with a 2.4GHz one, and use brushed ESCs for the three motors, but am not sure if some sort of gyro is required.
Cheers
