I am about to complete a standard BobCat. I was wondering if many people fly one without using a Gyro? I was planning to use one, but it may not be necessary according to some poeple.

Hal,
All of the MS Gang use gyros in our BC's any one of us can help you set it up. It is not absolutely necessary but it sure does make landing it easier.

At our last jet rally, one of the pilots got into a bit of trouble on landing (in a mild crosswind situation) and ran his aircraft through the safety fence. He was not using a gyro on his Bobcat. It is probably best to use the gyro as specified by BVM rather than risk damaging your airplane.
