I have been wanting to try a gyro in a plane for an awful long time now...not in a heli...and I find it impossible to get any detailed information on the subject. When I say detailed information...I'm looking for paragraphs, and chapters, etc...not one-liner comments! Pretty much everything I've seen about gyros refers to a helicopter. Futaba has discontinued so many gyros in the last year or two...it makes me feel as though they just can't quite get it right...ever.
Is there a better one out there?
A few users here on RCU have made vague references to gyro model numbers that remain obscure, and made comments like..."works good!". That simply isn't very helpful to me, and Towers catalog, and even Futabas website really does not address the subject in any meaningful way. I'm not in a hurry...i've thought about it for a couple of years now, but there just isn't any educational info to learn on....and I'd rather learn first, before making an unwise investment. I guess we could profit greatly from an article written by a knowlegable person who has used them over the years, in planes, and can write at length about his experiences and their features, benefits, and upsides as well as downsides.
So, the quest continues to find a rudder gyro for large or giant scale planes, that will actually yield the promised "straight-as-an-arrow" tracking...on ground, or in the air. Any new suggestions?
Thanks for all your help.
