Put a GYRO on a RC Plane?

See more of this project HERE!

LAST WEEK'S VIDEO:

We have one of our 3 big super projects of 2009 coming up, the tailless X-36. What we are doing here is getting the feel of putting gyros on planes. The X-36 will need to rely heavily on its gyros to keep it in the air because of its tremendous lack of stability having no vertical tail.

We have MORE VIDEOS and MORE INFO on all of this on our VIDEO BLOG page at our website!

And here is the $20 GYRO I am using! http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3062981-10511621?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nitroplanes.com%2Fek2-0704.html

Yep, thats what I'm doing now and did on our SU-35. Gyros all the way around, it works so good. I don't know how I've ever flown without them.

it would be interesting to put gyros on all flight axis'.. a sort of primitive fly by wire system…probably hard to control with your tx….anyway cool stuff..

RCSuperPowers @ 4:06 am

You're right. I …
You're right. I looked into that and this totally is a CH-46. Big difference between a Ch-47. We are updating our website on that tonight.

just a little thing …
just a little thing, but the RC market keeps calling that helicopter that you said your going to review a "Chinook" ch-47 when the airframe the model represents is really a CH-46 (CH-forty six) "phrog" or "Sea Knight". Trivial to some but there are differences. the CH47 is twice as bog…blah blah. WIKI it lol. anyways.. just got my stealth in cant wait put it together and fly it!

Very helpful in your video blog Dave… was trying to do radio mixing (delta mixing) with a gyro and couldnt figure out what was going on… gotta get an onboard mixer and disable the radio mixing i see now… i could see the gyro you were using was an Esky, but which model? Was it the Gyro EK2-0704?

Hey Mr. Powers is there a way to put two gyros on for elevon mixing so it helps with the aileron and elevator together and not just the elevator only?

georgitushev @ 4:06 am

Dave what do you …
Dave what do you think of FMA CoPilot? ..And I found the gyro connection instructions on your web., how the gyro will work with elevon mixer, in two axes (aileron / elevator) or just one elevator?
Thank You for all!!!

I talked with the guys at NitroPlanes and they said just that. After we did our first WH video they sold out everywhere. The factory in China is making more, thats whats taking so long. But they WILL be back in stock.

Where do u buy the gyro, badboy power?

roydonde @ 4:06 am

Ok Dave, I'm sold. …
Ok Dave, I'm sold. The Wild Hawk is a great starter plane and platform for experiments. Only $20 for a gyro? Cool. Now, could you guys please order at least 500 planes from the factory so I can buy one from YOU. I think your videos have caused a massive buyout. NOBODY seems to have this plane. It's sold out everywhere I looked. Christmas is just around the corner……………….
