Pilot Decathlon Flight with Dodgy Gyro
Вставка

- The beautiful Pilot 122" Decathlon was back out this weekend. However the first flight was somewhat short as the model kept dropping a wing! Something to do with the iGyro configuration, we'll come back to that!

It really wasn’t a great day at the office in any department in all honesty, but thanks for all of your lovely comments all the same.
iGyro is a great device, your pre-flight check is not ideal if you were not aware it was even on? The gain looked super high also - when initially taxiing can see elevator moving madly
I’m pretty sure he said the gyro was meant to be off via the TX. It could just be a simple case of gains being too high. It’s a new model and the gyro has only been added recently. I did notice the elevator when I watched back the footage.
I’ve found gains of 35-40% is about right
Point of running a gyro in a Decathlon..?
He’s trying different things out. The gyro would make it smoother on a gusty day. We fly cross wind a lot so it also helps on landings
Who the efff is flying a r/c Decathlon with a gyro??? Seriously, pilots aren't pilots any longer...
Hi. Have you ever tried a gyro in a fixed wing plane?
Flying with gyro...? why?
Only gyro I use is tail gyro on my helicopters. No need for gyro on fixed wing.
Hi. I’ve met a number of people who fly with gyros on fixed wing. It really smooths out the flight and is great for cross wind landings.
