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.

I guess you did not read the threads from those who have been successfully using gyros on the ailerons for some time without the problems or uneducated claims of someone who apparently does not know how to use them.
