Default RE: Cougar Wiggle

The weather did not cooperate last Tuesday, but today was perfect. Went the to field. I was a bit apprehensive at first, never have flown with a gyro. I had this felling that the gyro would take over my controls and carry my plane away forever. LOL. The roll out was percect and as soon as the jet rotated, I knew the gyro was working. The Cougar did not wiggle at all with the gyro on the rudder. It flew straigt as an arrow with absolutely no dutch roll. I thought that I would feel the gyro working against me, but It was fine. I had the gyro gain set on a rotary knob just in case I needed to deactivate it in a hurry. My initial setting seemed appropriate. Thanks you guys for your help. Alex.
