Well I fly just fine without a gyro. But I find flying with it much more enjoyable. Also not to mention I fly scale jets. When you see a scale model bouncing all around in the wind its clear its a model. With a gyro it helps give it the illusion its real since the flight is allot smoother.
I have found with gyro's their are those that have never tried them and criticize them and then all the rest that love them and use them and would never go back. I have not herd of anyone that has used one and then removed it to fly with nothing. Well accept maybe discowings but hes a very odd individual so he does not count.
