Hooker, having a gyro on a nose gear , is like training wheels on a kids bike. meaning, it just helps you to keep your aircraft straight on take off and landing, when the wheels are on the ground. I had a gyro on a few of my jets, but no longer do. reason I took mine out was I had a more expensive gyro fail on me at a jet rally and had a mind of it's own and had minor damage to my aircraft.

Back taxi'd out for take off, steering felt kind of weird, but I let it go and decided to fly. Full power on the Boomerang XL and down the runway it went, about 100 feet down, the nose gear turned hard right and into the 10 foot tall corn stalks. had some damage, but after looking at everything, I found the nose gear Gyro failed on me. Servo is still working great, and when I plug the gyro back in it's all over the place. I took the gyro's out of my jets and and just rely on my thumbs on the sticks instead.
