The very best gyro for IMAC or 3D airplane flying is the gyro between your ears, just forget about the gyro idea because there is just no replacement for getting out there and burning gas. You have to put in the time, so relax and have fun along the way or you just may miss the dance...

Let's look at Gyro usage from philosophical point of view w/o offending each other :-).
We all using modern cars, which have many micro- controllers in different parts of the car. They help us to steer well and drive safe with good fuel economy. We are taking it for granted.
At the same time no one is going to drive first Ford car with only mechanical stuff in and to master driving skills to match modern car performance :-).
It will be nonsense . . .
Why some pilots blaming other pilots who want to drive modern plane and benefit from modern equipment, which make flights safer and more enjoyable even if pilot doesn't have first class flying skills...?
We are not blaming elderly person who is driving Mazaretty for the luck of driving skills at his edge. We are not going to push him to train himself for months to become super driver before driving first generation retro Ford car.
He has easy way to use modern car with modern equipment to help him to drive safe with his limited driving skills.
Not every pilot is going to compete, but I believe over 90% pilots enjoying RC hobby just for fun, relaxation and some pleasure they can get with this hobby.
In today world sophisticated , but still affordable RC helicopters with autopilots can fly hands free over 2km from the pilot and come back to the start point with quite high accuracy.
There is no way you can stop technology coming into RC business.
We just need to adjust ourself and accept such trend.
I wish everybody happy flying.
