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.

Absolutely.. and seems that I was completely wrong about this Horten, great to read this info here from you and Invertmast.
Talking about deltas and Gyros, I watched Enrico´s 3D J-10 flying this weekend in Chile . The 3D moves of this planes where very good etc.. but what impressed me the most was how smooth and precise where the high speed maneuvers with this particular plane due to the precise mapping of the speed x gain function. Maybe the Boulton could take advantage of this igyro unit.
