I didn't mean control function reversals, I meant the action taken with them!
Fixed wing stall recovery, you pitch down, obviously by pushing.
With the gyro you pitch up, obviously by pulling.
Crossed wires here I think. NO not control wires!
Unless of course we really confuse the issue and go really far back to the old Bensen with that overhead inverted T bar that really did work the same as a flexwing micro!!!!
And as I said, limited experience of them.
I'm not trying to explain how to fly them, I just know they can, I repeat, can, bite at the edges of the envelope. I'm not surprised that the newer ones are benign, that's what the Glasgow investigation was about.
As for them flying like a fixed wing, no thanks, if I bank my taildragger to 80 deg and pull hard it will stall, I don't think a gyro will do that, if I landed by pulling till it nearly stopped 3ft above ground I think it would retract the gear, violently! correct me if I'm wrong.
