The adverse yaw point is not right. My Horten was much better with an gyro fitted than without and the plane is VERY sensitive to adverse yaw. I have fitted ACT gyros on ailerons on most of my models especially if they are slightly unstable or difficult to fly. The Gyro has a definite beneficial effect especially on takeoff and landing. It is important to have variable gain that you can adjust in flight, as flying aerobatics will require less gyro than smooth gentle turns. We have found the gyro almost on full on descent to the runway helps the pilot in keeping the wings very steady and less affected by gusts of wind. We also have a gyro on the Swallow and that is a lovely smooth plane to fly as a result.

The only time we had a really noticeable wag was when we flew the little Huckebein when we selected full gyro rather than flaps on the downwind leg preparing for landing. The plane wagged noticeably and we immediately realised what had happened and corrected the mistake.
