Gyro's for planes

Gyros are for helis. End of story. :)

I will not fly an airplane if there is a gyro onboard.
Your missing out. I wasn't sure what to expect , so that is why I got the qq extra 1st to try it out. You still have to fly your plane, just makes it more stable and fun.

Word of warning to Gyro wannabees.

Not all gyros work on gas planes, the high amplitude vibrations from an internal combustion engines reap havoc on the Gyro's software and can produce really weird behavior.

Why do you use a gyro in your Heli's? It's not necessary. Helicopters flew for years without them. My Mini Boy back in 1985 didn't have one and it flew. You use one now because it makes the helicopter fly so much better, it's no different in an airplane. It's just technology, no different that expo and mixing. It still doesn't fly it for you.

It's the same reason you fly 100cc+ airplanes, because they fly better! I don't have the room or the spare cash to replace my 50CC planes with 100+ planes, so I put a gyro in "ONE" of mine to make it fly better.
