Hey all.....

I just picked up a Century Swift for myself....but have a few questions for you. Keep in mind I'm just using this to learn on at this point.

#1 There are no servo suggestions listed anywhere is the documentation. What kind of torque and speed is required. I generally only use hitec servos.....but if needed....I'll look at the Futaba 9254 or 9256.

#2 Gyro's.......since I fly a Futaba 9c....I figured that I would stick with their line of gyro's unless there is another brand that really stands out. What do I really need to make it fly nice. Will the GY240 be enough....should I get the GY401 or even the GY611?

I'm looking for some guidance here......what do I need to buy to make this a nice heli to learn with.....have it feel locked in....but not something that's blinged out in terms of main components. I'm buying it second heand....got a great deal on it....it already has the Century Lightning 600 Plus brushless, elctron 55/70 SC and CF blades. I"m planning on running 4s1p packs to learn on....and then move up when ready.

Any and all input is appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

Neo
