ORIGINAL: Brian Dorff. . .<snip>. . However with third party manufacturers making 3-axis stabilizers and now spektrum releasing the 635 6 channel rx with as3x, has the time come where cd's should be performing random or mandatory checks at contests to assure people aren't getting help with their flying??

Unless you're willing to disassemble a guy's airplane at a contest, you'll never know. You can try to detect gyros before or after the flight by picking it up and rolling or pitching the plane, but that is easily defeated by turning the gains to 0% with a gear switch so they're only active in the air.

At least that's how I'd do it . . .
