And sorry to disagree with the gents above, but the risk of a gyro coming loose is too great to not strap it down. It may not have to be tight, but an extra layer of protection NEVER hurts.

Pretty much every jet is more expensive than a 3D heli, the helo’s have nice and clean carbon fiber to stick to and the helos just don’t go as fast as jets.
