Re: Gyro Stabilization for EasyStar AP - Initial tests
Do these gyro's actually have a spinning gyro in them or are they just an electronic sensor?

Nope - These days they are aren't really a gyroscopes at all – it’s an accelerometer. The accelerometer produce a signal as they’re rotated about an axis just like a traditional gyro and the more it accelerates, the stronger the feedback is. They plug in between the RX and the Servo and basically correct any movement they detect. There are tons on the market and they are incredibly cheap these days the ones I am using are: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=6755  For what they do check this out :

Re: Gyro Stabilization for EasyStar AP - Initial tests
Chris,
I'm surprised that your CG is ok with your set up. When I had a camera on the nose of my EZ*, I had to have the battery strapped to the top of the nacelle in front of the motor for CG. I'm wondering how well it would fly with no ailerons, and a gyro on the rudder and elevator.
