If they don't know where U want them to fly they don't learn to fly the plane it's flying them. If they can't put it where it's supposed to be they don't solo. To many so called pilots that if they come close to the runway on landing that's good enough ...NO IT'S NOT.

You still need to do all the typical inputs of the maneuver... the gyro makes the plane "true"

But guys, no one needs to get a gyro... it is personal preference. but don't dismiss it, or assume it does things that it doesn't, without trying or experimenting first

I'll have to give it a try next time my student brings it out Thanks.
