Default RE: Which Aeroplane Gyros are best?

Hey guys

I follow the thread from the start and I have a few remarks on the use of gyros...

Why using gyros in one of the 4 basic chanels that are traditionaly left for the pilot in R/C airplane flying?

And to be more specific the 4 basic chanels are Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator, Throttle.
If it is wise to use gyros then why not using also the rest of the equipment and make your R/C airplane an FPV-UAV?
Is this called R/C modelling or shall we re-baptize the whole thing as R/C gyrolling?
Sorry to hijack the thread but the gyros on an airplane don't work the same with the Helicopter's..
A few posts before I have noticed DelGattoGrande making some sense and some people were fast to judge while Gato's saying was correct from top to bottom! YES an airplane can have adverse yaw ( yes you may fight this with differential- but can be lethal to your plane with a gyro), it can also have flutter (from overspeeding - airfoil problems-or gaps in between trailing edges and control surfaces), in neither ways a gyro won't help since it won't recouperate the problems. A gyro can recouperate only piloting skills.
