A computer radio is NOT a crutch, nor are trims. They don't do anything unless I tell them to by moving trims OR sticks. A gyro is making corrections to the flight on your behalf without your intervention, and it is flying for you on some level. Especially in a cross wind. Keep in mine many of these gyros hold position making things like knife edges extremely easy.

Del Gato, you just completely contradicted yourself. you say its not flying for you then talk about how it removes all this "work" during a roll.

Andy go have fun, and I will have fun. If you criticize me when I'm not using a gyro neither of us are having fun, and that's my point.
I suspect your smart enough to know if I am not using a gyro my flights wont be perfect and its just the way it is. I am not out there to impress.
BTW your "everyone's doing it" reminds me of the MMA and steroids. I've done quite a bit of MMA fighting and never used steroids but your justification sounds exactly like that LOL. "you have to use them to compete" Gyros = Steroids of RC.

To this:
"How you can perform a nice impressive slow axial roll when you to keep that up elevator all the time?"
You and I are done talking. You're obviously lost. use your Gyros I don't care. please don't respond to me anymore. Thanks!

Keep in mind a Gyro will ruin your skills. Once you have it you wont be able to fly without it, that is my message to the OP.
