Default RE: GT17 in the fog

Hi Scott, Sounds pretty good. Gyros are a blast to fly. I have flown twin rotor gyros for nearly 20 years. My model will fly @ 3 to 5 MPH in no-wind conditions, with the nose at 45 degrees or more. Steering becomes sensitive at the acute angle. It can also flat-spin. I like making nearly vertical approaches, with lots of back stick and throttle. I am looking forward to building a single rotor machine sometime soon. They are much more realistic. Simpler to build, too !! Thanx for the info. Charlie Anderson
