SWORDSN: True, I like flying twins alone and my favorite spotter knows not to talk too much, but not always possible at a meet. Also, a crowd and a crowded flight line can limit some of your approach and risk-taking options during an engine-out. It's good to set that up mentally even before you take off
samparfitt: of all the assist device ideas, I like your gyro the best. Probably the biggest reason I never put one on a twin was I fear the set-up process: how much gain is just enough? Few of us are willing to go up and intentionally engine-out to test it and set it. It's not like an aerobat where you can do 3-D stuff and set the gain where it works but doesn't porpoise. Maybe that process has been modernized since I last flew gyros. We should look up TwinMan's field research with gyros and P-38's. That was at least 10 years ago.
Practically every Mosquito I've ever seen sorely needed a gyro on takeoff!
