Nice choices there! I like the Align GP750 gyro. Use it on my EXI 500 and it's rock solid. I can't argue with your choices though dude ;D

Very nice, Akphill!
From what I can tell, CopterX is who makes most all of the Align clone stuff, so you did well!

I have bought CopterX head and tail sets for my 450 and they are identical, even with most of the machine marks to the Exi head and tail set.

You might find that the shafts and gears are sub par. Please check those very carefully.

Your choice of parts sounds good! You might want to see if Helidirect still has the Sparton gyro's on sale for $111. These are amazing gyros. The GP750 is also good. I don't know anything about the Mini G, but I have read they are nice, too.

Best,
Kent

Yup! The Spartan 760 is the one I have on my 500 - it is rock solid. Kent hit the nail in between the eyes with that one.

I am truly happy with it.
