Never used one, no, but have been tempted to try out an r/c plane or heli
after reading about this other device you can install in a plane or heli
that senses the horizon and adjusts the controls to keep the plane/heli
level. Apparently this device makes it REALLY easy to hover, much easier
than simply a gyro would. I'd give a link but my internet connection is
screwed up at the moment and I can't access Google (and a lot of other
sites).
