HK ZYX FBL Gyro & Tarot ZYX Gyro Same???

[daveth26]

Looks like HK changing name on FBL Gyro of Tarot ZYX on same item.

HK ZYX 3Axis FBL Gyro System: US$58


Tarot ZYX 3Axis FBL Gyro System: US$60


"Descriptions
The TAROT ZYX high performance multi-function 3-axis gyro system is the lightest flybarless system in the world. It is compatible for all 200-700 nitro or electric power helicopters and support 90, 120, 135, and 140 degree CCPM swashplate systems. Furthermore, it is compatible for all type servos, and support firmware update. The setup process is quite easy, which only need ten minutes.

ZYX 3-axis gyro system provides two different flight modes, which can satisfy players from beginners to advanced pilots. ZYX 3-axis gyro system has many adjust options; pilots can adjust the parameter of swash plate and rudder servo, which make pilots feel the impressive of the flybarless helicopter.

ZYX high performance 3-axis gyro system uses MEMS gyro sensor which can be used in bad weather condition and pilots can control the flying status of helicopter precisely. Built-in pirouette flip optimization function, the speed of pirouette is really stable. When the helicopter pirouettes flip, the fuselage will spin at one point without shifting.

Specification:

Dimensions: 37.2mm*25.2mm*13mm
Weight: 9.8g
Operating voltage: DC 3.5V-9V
Operating current drain: 60mA
Operating temperature:-15C~65C
Maximal angular velocity: 800 degrees/sec
Tail servo compatibility: 1.52ms analog servo, 1.52ms digital servo, 760us digital servo, 960us digital servo
Swashplate servo compatibility: 1.52ms analog servo, 1.52ms digital servo
Radio compatibility: PPM, PCM, 2.4G
Supporting firmware upgrade
Supporting Multi-Blade Rotor Head"

Isn't it the same thing? Unless there's restrictions for their retail. Anyone using it at moment for reviews?

Additional Programming Link for Tarot FBL Gyro System.



From site reviews:

"Suitable for setting ZYX 3 Axis gyro flybarless system made by TAROT, it can do advanced detail adjustments on ZYX 3 Axis gyro. More tail rudder setting mode makes tail lock more stable. ZYX multi-function gyro programming link has servo tester function: be able to do power supply - voltage test/ speed test/ 3 points test/ travel range test/ automatic test to servos.

Also, it has battery indicator function: be able to indicate the power of 2-8 LiPo, Li-Ion, Li-Fe, Li-Mn battery. [The gyro cable and servo should be disconnected while testing the battery voltage, or the servo and gyro may be damaged.]

3. According to the supplier, ZYX tail lock is settled for regular fly condition by default values. Advanced pilots can set the tail lock through gyro programming link to do more adjustments."

Looks like worthy to try on...

Introduction by HK on ZYX Gyro System...

The features of ZYX introduction...Seems attractive for it's value.

[daveth26]

Time to get ZYX FBL Gyro System!!

Good for it's value, flips & rolls with invert. All with tail holding in position!

I've gotten the Tarot one to try. But still a noob though. So can't push it to its limits

Cool, I'm gonna get too for the tests on some of my birds...Seems nice indeed.

Actually HK already sells the Turnigy VBar 600, which is also another FBL solution... wonder what's the difference?

[daveth26]

Turnigy VBar 600 V2/V3 has been around for long..

I agree. Turnigy VBar 600 has been around for quite a while. From V2 firmware to V3. A few of our guys tested & affirmed the feel very near like flybar editions & corrections felt. Values wasn't that accurate compared to Mikado VBar though. However, for that price it is attractive. Does look like gyrobot but it has nowhere precision stand in it's place.

Tarot is newer if you're liking to a recent FBL solution.

I guess with all the FBL gyro coming out. it make FBL seem more affordable for some of us.
