Gyros and mixing

by Ali Smith

Ok. I have a spoiler set up for a hovercraft which has 2 control surfaces like elevons. They are mixed by my transmitter to move together giving pitch and independantly giving roll. If I wanted to use gyros to control roll would I need two, one for each servo? Is it ok to set up 2 gyros to control the same movement axis or would they 'argue'?
Many thanks.

Hi Ali,
This one is a bit out of my league, having never had any multi-gyro experience. Can I suggest that you join our forum and post the question in the 'Chopper Chat' section, there are some experienced heli flyers there ;-)
