Default RE: gyro on planes


ORIGINAL: stargate

when is a gyro used on a plane?
When you have marginal rudder authority and need a helping hand keeping it flying straight. I know some scale models use them and some early discus launch gliders used them for straight launches. Don't know where else they might be.
