Default RE: What is a gyro?

Thank you GE and BH its appriciated. Camp if you have that gyro do not let it lay in a drawer, Like the old drill sarge said "If ya got'em, Smoke'em" definately put it in your P-61.

The problem you had with it before is likely you ran it at an exessive gain. For airplane use its wise to always startout at no more than 50%. Set up right and you never know its there and you don,t need to switch it on and off in flight.

And guys don,t be embarassed about using them on rudder of some problamatical single engine tail draggers. For example a very scale P-51 with a scale forward tailwheel can be quite a handful on takeoff compared with most arfs with the tailwheel under the rudder. This is made worse with the typical big fourstrokes and long props.

I think I have now eight multi's all flying but only have two gyro's one on a Wing P-38 and the other on the Quad Kaydet. So its a matter of choice.

Here are my two latest Multi's and in a big push for late summer test flight on both. Both have those marvelous new 25AX's, those and the 35 AX are rapidly becoming my favorite, Hope we are on the right server now so the pics don,t get gigantisized:
