Default Are they stable?

Yeah... I had my first successful autogyro flights today. I'm still excited about it, even after 5 hours!!! I took the mast, blades and landing gear from my [link=http://www.kemi.fi/kk019065/models/gyro/autogyro.htm]first autogyro project[/link] and added it to my friends bluestick trainer (again I'm using others planes for my tests). This time it flew. This was maybe due to longer tail and fixed pitch for aft tilt. There were "traditional!" elevator control this time. I try to take pictures about this configuration later. Here are some pics about [link=http://www.kemi.fi/kk019065/vesitaso/vesilenn.htm]normal bluestick.[/link]

My autogyro was unstable and tried to fall to both sides. Luckily I found it out on third flight that the aileron servo had broke. It was JP's mini-servo. The servo obviously didn't like autogyros as much as I did... I'm planning to fit there a futaba std servo. Are these supposed to be stable to fly on the "aileron" axis? I mean with undamaged servos

I just can't wait to get more test flights
