Thinking more about gyro in Hawk it might be interesting to try attitude assist (or heading hold) on the elevator. I’ve never used it until now on my Royal equipped Mephisto but it holds a deck angle, on landing for instance, solidly. It’s really something to just adjust power and watch that plane coming down the glide slope. Well this Hawk does suffer from pitch coupling with power. Largely tamed with engine blocking and a down elevator to high thrust mix, but still noticeable especially when cutting the throttle prior to flaring. So the gyro might be useful there.
