I have often thought about this, the thing is a gyro is a motion damper. I think, when in level flight, at a constant power level, the gyro will keep the plane at a constant alt. However,if you lower the throttle, the nose will drop, and the gyro will be trying to counter that angular momentum, as it should, but the plane now dosn't have the speed to maintain alt. The gyro is trying to keep the plane level, and probably will,but it will be droping in alt. Also something to remember is the gyro will try to keep the plane in the attitude it was in when you let go of the stick. I'v been trying to think of a problem, that it might cause, to crash the plane or make it uncontrolable. But,I do think is is worth trying, as a matter of fact I have a gyro in a small electric, and I'm going to fly it soon to see what I get.
