I have the X5 and purchased it because the gyro, which I wanted for
down wind ocean swells. Plus, you can easily plug in a sensor for a
hand held remote. Once in while the main display registers "no
signal" which I solve by pressing "auto" again.
A few other single handed expresses also have the X5.
Contact me via the roster if you want to talk.
