Latest Gyroscope Technology
For those of you who don’t comprehend the technology and science that goes into such a toy, all you need to know is that remote controlled helicopters that have gyro are easier to fly. Basically, the gyro is a tiny device that detects when the helicopter starts to swing left or right (yaw) and it sends a command automatically to the tail rotor to stop or limit that yaw movement.
