Putting the sack of microwave popcorn in for four minutes.....this is going to be good!
Time for all the expert airman on here to tell us how good they are.

I have been in the hobby since the fifties and I am no-way a expert flyer and I use a gyro on my warbirds for rudder. A lot of these WWll planes like to "hunt" or wag their tail in rough weather. I am talking 25+ winds. The technology is there for a $130 so I am going to use it if it can make my time at the field more stress free. If I am in stright and level fight and I see the tail wagging back & forth in rough air I sure am not going to try and "catch it" with my rudder stick. I flip on the gyro and enjoy.

This happend at our field last year when the local expert tested a WWl biplane for a club member....but first had him disconnect the rudder gyro because he didn't like them.
The bipane did a ground loop ran into a fence post and broke the only prop the guy had.
That eveing people left the field and I told the WWl guy if he would re-hook up his rudder gyro I would give him a new prop and try it for him. I still had to steer with the rudder on take-off but the gyro "dampened" the hard forces. The gyro can feel it before I can see it.
