Why on earth spend $60 dollars ++ on a gyro that can 'possibly' create additional set up and operating complexity concerns especially on a Roo that does not need one??? Geez might as well install a full auto pilot system with GPS and sit back and watch while having a beer eh!

My friend!! I have told anyone who will listen to me that this is exactly what I've been waiting for!! My goal in this hobby from day one is to put a flight on my airplane, and refuel, hit the button and watch the airplane "redo" the flight using sytems as you describe! Drinking the beer is optional!

I'm totally into the electronics available to us right now! Listen, are you flying your jets with a Kraft Radio? Or should I take a jab that you're not flying Jetcat?

I've used Gyros, Flight stabilization systems, PCM, FM, whatever. The technology is there and it works! I put a gyro on my steering in my TMAXX off road truck. When I hit the brakes, it does not "veer" to one side. You can't duplicate that without a gyro.

Look, whatever, if you want to spend the time rigging, etc. I'll bet you use resins instead of aeropoxy to put your formers in? Are you still sheeting with Sorgum glue? There are advances in this hobby that make things easier. I can't help it if I believe in them and I see every time that I fly that they work.

I'm done defending gyro's. I guarantee my airplanes take off straiter than anyone else's. And bonus that if there is significant crosswind, my airplanes adjust accordingly and I don't even have to deal with it.

I'll still have that beer with you, EH!
