When I was still on the buddy box, I picked up a cheap Gyro at a going out of business sale at one of our late LHS. I was just starting on a tail dragger after killing my trainer. Take offs were not very nice. I hadn't aquired the rudder and tiail wheel control yet and I mowed a lot of weeds off the left side of the runway. I was sure the Gyro would fix this. And it did. Icould hammer the throttle and as long as the plane was pointed stright down the runway, that is where it went. About three or four flights in though it became obvious that while I could take off cleanly, turns were not so clean. It took me three days of flying before I pulled it and leaned to ease on the throttle and keep the tail wheel nailed untill the rudder could control the direction.

I've though about using one for the ailerons for landing, but you would really need one that you could set the gain from the TX and shut down for normal flight, and and and. The price for what I wanted keept going up and the need kept going down. Dial in some expo and low rates and fly.
