Default RE: Thoughts and ideas regarding gyro on ailerons

I think the best way it was described to me is that the gyro can be set to hold the angle of bank that you command. SO if you input left aileron and establish a bank and release the stick it can maintain that bank as it is was told to stop there. SO, if on approach you want wings level - YOU make the wings level and the gyro will maintain it as you neutralize stick deflection.

The trick seems to be to maks sure that the gyro is only correcting the neutral stick position. YOu want the gyros ability to counter the bank to be negligble when turning (or you will make a huge circle perhaps...) and to be sensitive once you are close to neutral stick.

This is just my two cents as other s have helped me with seeting mine up on my Weatronics rx.

(Thanks Lance!)

Sorry- to correct as Dustin and others mentioned - I am not using "hold" just that this will resist further roll etc.
