learn to fly the airplane. So NO you don't need a gyro. You need to learn your craft and not let a gyro do the work for you.
I'm under the impression that a gyro only takes an inherently unstable aircraft & makes it stable. For example, F-15's seem to have lots of wing area & tends to porpoise a lot, add a 3 axis gyro & it will transform it to fly on rails like a great sport jet.
Aren't your inputs still your inputs? I don't think its an auto-pilot, but have not tried one yet.
