Interesting thread on gyros after Tony F. posted his article in the NSCRA mag. At first I didn't have much of an opinion good or bad until: a few weeks back I was flying on a windy gusty Sat afternoon when a fellow club member shows up with a ARF P-51 BNF 45 size plane and proceed to fly the most impressive smooth flight in windy conditions I've seen from a small plane. He lands and I ask what plane he's flying and I want one!! LOL. His response - I was not really flying that smooth the built in gyro makes it look that good !!!! Soooo, all I know is if gyros are allowed in pattern everyone will be forced to have one or go home because the playing field has now changed.
