    See here -> http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/galler...dernGyros2.pdf

    Please have a read and see what you think. Please also add any comments or ammendments as necessary. I've just done this over the last hour off the top od my head, so it might be inaccurate, and could do with some digrams to help explain stuff, but it's a first draft.

    Constructive critisisms welcomed.

    very good read mate thanks

        As a newcomer to helicopters I found the paper very useful and interesting. Should be read by all newcomers who want to understand whats what with the gyro. Many thanks. Mike

              Excellent makes a lot of sense
              Pico z * 2 (I know they arent 'proper' helis but they are to blame)
              MCX - Got bored after a fairly short time.
              MSR * 2 (my current favourite)
              SR -as yet unflown

                Thanks for your explanation about gyros. I've been misunderstood gyros for a long time.

                      Thanks Bob.
                      I have been flying planks for a few years but thought I would try helis as they are east to fly Ha Ha Ha.
                      Started with an mCPX as I wanted something that would take foreward, after a very steep learning curve I am now thinking about the next step but need to do my homework.
                      Thanks again

                        I'm currently working on an update so have temporarily removed the link.

                        I have a question about Align gyros since I have never used them - do they have a rate mode, or are they HH only? I know the CYE gyros (have tried one) are HH mode only, but are they the only ones that do this?

                        Work in progress.

                          yes, they have a rate mode, in effect turning the gyro off.

                            And a Wag mode that you can't turn off !

                              Read all the links etc. Really excellent. I now understand how it all works, till tomorrow when I'll have forgotten it all again.

                              Trex 450 SEV2, hack, freeby, but getting expensive. Binned the bu**er !

                              mCPX, better than a Phoenix anyday.

                              Brains and thumbs work okay, but not at the same time.
