Vertical limitations occasionally need to be specified (especially for physically) larger aircraft. Usual problems relate to

(a) lateral stability matters - dutch roll, roll maneuverability, and spiral stability considerations

(b) longitudinal static stability considerations

Although I have no background with gyros, apparently the vertical CG is important with respect to engine thrust pitch couples. Genghis has some background in this area and may comment in due course, with any luck.
