I have a plane called a NewBee which I had trouble on takeoffs. I installed a GWS PG-03. Very cheap. It works great my plane go straight do the field now. I can't shut the gyro off but I thinks help the plane fly. I don't do any fancy flying so the gryo never gets in my way.

I have an uncontrolable WW1 triplane. Due to the scale landing gear which is well in front of the ballance point, I can't control takeoffs. I would like to install a gyro on the rudder for ground handleing.
Will the GY401 work for this application? Also, can I use a non digitial servo with the GY401. I have a 9202 installed.
After the airplane takes off, I have no further use for the gyro. Can I some how shut it off after take off?
I called Futaba tech support and they said "get a GY611". I don't want to spend $370 if the GY401 will work.
I have never used a gyro and have six other WW1 tail draggers that I have no problems with on take offs. Any help is appriciated.
