Gyro in R/C Jet

[mig29n]

Hi,

NE1 have a gyro inside their jet ... if so which controls is the best to have one?

I'd think if you have one gyro it would control roll, pitch next if you had two gyro's

I have heard of using a gyro on the rudder. Makes sense to me as it would prevent slip/skid and overall keep the airplane tracking where you tell it to go.

I know many use a gyro on the nosewheel/rudder. Primarily for ground handling. Steering on tarmac can be difficult, so a gyro is of good help keeping a straight line on the runway under takeoff/landing.

It's most likely to be switched off (low gain) when wheels are retracted as a jet usually have good directional stability in flight.

I agree with Haldor that if you absolutely want a gyro on one of the control surfaces (beyond nosewheel/rudder) it would be roll that needs it the most.
