Yep.. We definately agree that is beneficial to know how planes are build. And be able to do a fast analysis.Not everyone is interested in the building part of it though.
Ehm well.. long story short: really understanding a piece of equipment (car/boat/plane/etc) helps..
Gyro's/stabelisers are great for FPV pilots.. It stabelises the image.. A few months back I bought an UMX Radian (super small glider with stabelisers).. I loved it
But well.. mainly because I was glad to see how good this kind of technology has become..
A beginner will have quite a big 'what the h*ll!' experiance once he/she flies a normal plane after a stabelised plane.. True.. Like I said: I would not advice that as a trainer. I would advice a pusher/glider.
