That was kind of a Nasty reply to Southern-touch9 [sm=punching.gif]

If you are asking for our experience then it will be that gyros are not needed, IF your airplane is setup properly. I have the OMP edge and in the sweet spot it will almost hold itself for a few seconds, here is what to look for.

1. 1.5 - 2.0 deg right thrust
2. Make sure the ailerons are in line with the wing chord
3. Move the CG as far back as you are comfortable
4. Use a propeller that is as long and flat as your engine will allow (experiment)
5. Build it light, light, light.
6. The 6XAS is a great radio, use the exponetial feature (I set mine at about -60 to -75 on the elevator)
7. Fly as close to you as you are comfortable, it lets you see subtle changes and react.

And lastly if you are flying over rocks then you might want to check out this plane. It's the SPA3DT and you can get plans at www.spadtothebone.com. It is a GREAT machine to learn harriers with, as well as hovering.

So seriously gyros are not needed and I don't know anyone that does. If you do decide to go with one please post your experience I would be interested to hear about that.
