Disable gyros during aerobatics?
I have an electric AI and DG and would like some advice about what to do during infrequent aerobatics. As I see it, the options are:
1) do nothing 2) disable with a switch (circuit would be protected by a fuse) 3) disable with a pullable breaker (protects circuit and disables gyro) As always, any advice is greatly appreciated. |
Rolls won't hurt the AI. Not sure about the DG. For loops the AI should be caged and un-powered. Just removing power still allows the gimble to bang against the stops. Just caging is hard on the bearings because it's spinning and trying to follow the horizon.
