Well to be honest, I am going to put the Demon cortex in my P-47 (Top Flight Giant scale). Been doing a lot of research and everyone that has one not only on Jets and 3D aircraft are having great success with them. Looking at youtube and flying giants website there are a lot of setup videos and how to's about the Demon Cortex. All of them will tell you that the 3 axis gyro does not fly the airplane for you but gives you a "Locked in" feel and allows the plane to handle wind better and crisp stops when you are coming out of an aerobatic maneuver.

That is if the gyro is setup right. Some pilot's don't like it because they feel that they are fighting the gyro. It is all in the setup of the gains and how you are going to fly.

I personally think that it is way past time for gyro technology to advance to fixed wing aircraft much like they have in the helicopter arena. For those that think it is not needed that's ok. No-one is forcing one on you. But for those that want them more power to you. I myself want one.
