Hi tbone,

It looks like "Heading Lock" is an invention / feature brought about by gyro manufacturer CSM.

I found the following article tonight which gave me a bit of an insight (although I'm still looking for a technical explanation - e.g., a press article about it in model heli flying magazines).

Hi again tbone

(Happy Birthday by the way!)

I've just found the following article in my search about Heading Hold this evening:



Do I need a Heading Hold Gyro? And what's the difference anyway?

Another article tbone (I'm asking the same question as you, hence the reason I've spent the past 4 hours surfing the net looking it up :-))

What makes Heading Hold gyros special?

hehe, thank you; Ill read them tomorow, after I get rid of my massive hangover

Hey dudes, as an addendum, I went checking my heli out with a profi dude (David Dutrieux, belgian 6fold champion 3d etc, he's got a heli shop and I took some lessons from him) I turned out that my gyro didnt work at all. Now I bought a new gyro http://updaterc.com/catalog/gyro&servo.htm the gy 240 Heading hold. works great and makes the tail rock steady even in wind !!
