Default RE: Which Aeroplane Gyros are best?

Hi Ali,

Sounds gooid, we can play with the AVCS and see what it can do at KY. I'd appreciate the help.

This is a 1/7 Skymaster Gripen with extra conformal fuel tanks, a P120SE, and smoke system. Empty weight 25.4lbs

I've got an AW Gripen too but the build hasn't started yet and is just in the planning stages. The gyros in the 1/7 are a test setup for the AW. Some of the flight dynamics guys from work are giving me a hand with the control system for the AW Gripen. It looks pretty fancy so far (what I understand of it) with individual controllers on the canards and mini laser-ring gyros. Apparently I'll have to bring a laptop to the field if I need to fine tune the programs. I'm a structures guy so this all looks like pure friggin magic to me but the flight guys assure me that it will be easy.

The plan is to have it ready for KY 2012 so you can fly it next year.

Regards,

Jim
