Falcon Gauge electric gyro needs servicing

Post by Chris Bruce » Thu Jun 20, 2013 10:23 am

I have a Falcon Gauge Electric Attitude Gyro GH02E-3 (14V).

Recently it has become very noisy and I suspect that the bearings in the motor may be the cause.

does anyone know somewhere in the UK I could send it to have it serviced / repaired?

Thanks

Chris

You could try Mike Hutchinson (Glider Instruments) at Shobdon. The last phone number I have for him is 01568 708368.

John.

Falcon instruments are basically chinese junk so if it was me I wouldn't waste any more money on it. Just throw it away and buy a good quality replacement.
