Which RC Helicopter Gyro Fits Your Flying Style?
The radio controlled helicopter gyroscope is an electric device that is made so that the body of the helicopter can revolve around it's axis.
The gyro is fitted between the rear rotor and the receiver. It is able to sense any chance in the rotation movement and atones the force switching the angle of the rotor, thus creating a force in the opposite location nullifying the effect.
There are a lot of gyro's available in the marketplace and price of each is different. The price of the gyro depends on which features it has from the factory. The more advanced it is, the more it will cost.
