I have made a number of jet powered planes over the years that are unusual and often flying wings or deltas. I rarely have really good info on G of G position and to aid the pilot I have often fitted an ACT Fuzzy gyro on roll. Deltas in particular can have a wing rock when landing and this dampens it down into a nice smooth approach. I have never used a gyro on pitch as it has not been found necessary. However the Boulton Paul we have just been flying is quite pitch sensitive and one could help with this plane.
