Why would you want gyros in an airplane to start with. The object of RC is to fly the plane, not have something fly it for you. What is the fun in that. Might as well sit at home and fly the simulator.

I guess you have never use gyros ... am I correct?
You have to try it out (if you didn't) to see how much more fun you will get with that.
Simplest example=>gusty cross wind (half of the time at my field)
The landing looks butiful with elevator and aelerons gyros and very safe for close to $1000 plane.
I am using flap switch to activate both gyros at the same time while landing. All other time gyros are off.
Have you tried knife edge with gyros?
I am doing knife edge fine w/o gyros, but how good knife edge looks with gyros ... have you ever seen that?
You can do knife edge safely at 3-5 m altitude with gyros on even if you have just 15-20 knife edge flights as all your knife edge experience :-)
Gyros proides new level to your experience and allow you to do more compex figures safe and pleasant for your eyes :-)
I am exploring some (not all) aerobatic figures where gyros can be applied and benefit your experience.
Snap rolls probably is not a good figure where gyros can be applied...
I may try out barrel roll with 45 degree nose up applying ruder and elevators gyros.
I think it may work if only aelerons input is applied and throttle is maintaining altitude.
What do you think?
