As all of the people before me have stated, there is nothing better than practice. Gyros do however make the learning process easier and make the plane track a little better. When I first showed up at the field with a computer radio the "experts" told me if I needed a computer to fly I was a lousy pilot, now they all have computer radios. I think you may see the same thing with gyros. Now they are considered "cheating" but just like the computers this with time will change, and what might be the best proof of this is the large number of aircraft dedicated gyros showing up all over the market. Now sit back and watch how bad I get trashed on this post.
