Kurt, IMO a well trimmed airplane is more stable. I define stability as an airplane that is easier to fly. A properly trimmed airplane will react less to wind gusts and throttle changes, will have less control cross coupling and will not have adverse yaw in the turns. Please explain how this would not be considered stable. Being this is a beginners forum I could back up some and agree that some newcomers could benefit from use of the new stability systems as long as they are weened off them as they learn. Some unusual airplanes like a Gee Bee that would be incredibly difficult to fly of course would be of benefit. What I would hate to see is someone who is using the gyro system to fix a poorly set up airplane instead of learning how to get the most out of their aircraft.
