Smile Gyro/rudder recommendations
I have the Thunder Tiger Mini Titan V2:

It recommends the Ace TG6000 Heading Lock Gyro:

and the Ace C0915 for rudder servo:

I'm a beginner, so today my local club's heli guru came by to help me with my setup issues. Right now I'm getting a lot of counter-clockwise rotation. He found my rudder just isn't responsive enough. He recommended I investigate a better rudder servo and gyro. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

Great and popular combination. Worth every penny IMO.

Yup.
The Quark and pretty much any decent tail specific servo will work great.
Find the best deal on a S9257, DS520, HSG5084 or similar.

Other good gyros are: GY401 and newer Futaba, Align GP780/750 or the Hitec/Logictech line.

EEeerrrm, I'd probably exclude the GP780. Had nothing but trouble with mine. LHS says 750 was a better gyro and it looks like I have a bad 780, which in their experience is not unusual. I'm looking to replace the 780 asap.
