I have not made a gyro selection yet just gathering information. I have been using gyros in my jets for 3yrs now but never on the nose steering. My normal set up is run a dual rate on the nose steering ch. lots of travel to taxi out and turn into the wind then click to a lower rate for take off run. this has worked for many years. I have a new jet that has been very difficult at times to keep straight so i was looking for something else to help. does the gyro see the low rate and therefore restrict its own movement or is the D/R not a factor in the gyro travel. I have used servo slow before on one jet with a sensitive elev but never on steering although i know someone who sets his up that way.

Thx Vin...
