You and Lu may very well be correct about aircraft instrumentation using only a single gyroscope. Perhaps flight instruments should not have been used as an example of counter rotating gyros. Thanks.

Sounds like theory being put in its place by a dose of reality
The following are a couple of thoughts and your reply will be of value.
>For instance you must lead pedal before a cyclic input is made for a turn or you will find yourself well out of trim and doing weird things.<
From your experience with the Huskie, do you think that a longer tail boom, like the K-Max has, would improve the turns? Also it appears, theoretically at least, that a lot of the 'weird things" that take place with a helicopter are the result of the coning angle, which causes cross-couplings and flap-back etc. It is hoped that the incorporation of extremely rigid rotors will eliminate this coning angle. Thoughts?
>I also would like to point out that in certain flight modes pedal response is not responsive at all.>
It will really be appreciated if you could advice which mode(s) give the least response to pedal inputs.
