I'm still learning how the font, etc. works. I'm anxious to see what this looks like.

To answer your question...I'm sure Dave Quatse wouldn't mind talking about his gyro, and his e-mail is [email protected] does really well with his O.S. .91 4C and a 14-6 prop.
From flying with him and watching his hover and tail touching I can tell you that the gyro only helps... you still have to use the rudder stick. Mike McConville of Horizon Hobby 3D fame, advocates the use of a gyro to help learn the hover manuever.

Something I keep forgetting to mention, maybe you guys do this, but I reflex my ailerons on most of my floater airplanes. For example...landing into a strong headwind the UCD and other floaters don't want to land, so I flip a switch to make spoilerons out of my ailerons and you can put it where you want it ... with a little practice. I do this with my Twist, UCD, Piper Cub, and some of my other planes. Sort of the poor man's Harrier.
