Gyro System in Airplanes
I have a few questions about installing a gyro into an airplane. All the information I can find about gyro setup is for helis.
I want to put a heading lock gyro into a twin engine plane. I figure if one engine quits, the gyro will handle the rudder for me, and give be a better chance of a safe landing. My question is where do I mount it? On the XYZ axis (center of lift) or aft of the CG? If aft, how far aft? I think if it's too far aft, it might be too sensitive. Helis mount it aft, sometimes far aft, of the main shaft. Help!! BTW: what brand and model of gyro should I use?
Your thoughts and/or experience?
Thanks
M
