Can you detail what you mean by this phrase? Predominant over what? And don't just say "gyroscopic," I know that. But what specifically do you mean by gyroscopic; what is the source of this force that is overcome by the aerodynamic? Put another way, if there was no aerodynamic force to do the overcoming, what would still be there by default, and behaving how?

Or, put yet another way, what is the difference between aerodynamic effect and gyroscopic effect?

Gyroscopic principles assume a solid disc


That's not true, they only assume matter going in a circle. See orbiting spacecraft doing a plane change.
