Airplane Gyros & Stabilizers

Adding a gyro, also called a flight stabilizer, expands the flight envelope of your RC airplane and can help you avoid costly crash damage. A gyro can allow a plane to be flown in a bit more wind than normal, help with preventing stalls and they can assist in cross-wind landings.

Once thought to be for beginners only, gyros are now common in all classes of aircraft and are utilised by all levels of flyers. Gyros are great for learning. They can help beginners learn to fly and advanced pilots practice aerobatics.

A gyro flight aid come in various forms. The simplest to install come integrated into a radio receiver. More advanced controllers come as a dedicated autopilot unit, sometimes with additional features like GPS.
