not impressed with the tracking capability of this unit. add a 3 axis Accelerometer and Magnetometer. and you might have something worth buying.

When trying to use with the 9XR and Futaba plug, you have 2 choices solder some wires and hope, or the following. The Futaba plug has 2 ppm wires JR only uses one (HT only uses one) so simply open the radio, unplug harness for Futaba plug (right side) and unplug the JR plug (left side) and plug the Futaba port into that socket. This allows the HT to work with no soldering and no change in settings minus adding the PPM signals to the right channels. Other then that seems to work great and no issues on my Bix3.

Good little unit. Naturally I had to hack it... I pulled it out of the case and found that it would fin inside the tiny air space of a FatShark Predator V2 goggle. Added a 3.5mm jack and wired up the switch and glued it in place and Voila... a Predator goggle with built in head tracker. Works perfectly.

This head tracker drifts very badly, it is fairly useless as you will be resetting the center every 10 seconds literally!
it is not worth a purchase

Got this up and running with the FrSky Taranis. The Taranis is a great match for the gyro, as it's got plenty of programming possibilities. It did require some soldering of a JR-style trainer connector, however not on a too difficult level.

For all those asking "does this work with radio X", check if your radio can assign custom channels to the trainer connector. If that's the case, it will work for your radio, but may require some soldering work. The two connectors shipped with the unit fit the 6-pin square connector and 6-pin large DIN which both are for Futaba radios.

I got one a while back, works with Hitec Eclipse 7 (72mhz) But now I use it with my Turnigy 9x (2,4ghz) You will need to re-locate the reset button to the transmitter because the drift is really annoying and you will be constantly resetting it. I wasn't impressed. I have the round connector spare if anyones interested. RC Groups - Headspin

My gyro is drifting so much on one of the channels that it make it useless, I can only use it as a one axis gyro.
The soldering inside the gyro was very badly made with damage on the connectors.
The same thing in the Futaba trainer plug.
The reset switch is glued inside the plastic case. The same thing with the circuit board, it is only fixated in glue inside the plastic case.
I would not recommend this product.
