Skid ball in an open gyro?????

That's the fixed wing in me, I want to know which direction my butt is skidding and sliding, but the gyro will not be open except for no doors as in Vortex. Just can't see myself sitting out in the open as you do.
Make a trip to the Sandhills of Nebraska, and I will take you around to all the big ranches with 2000 mother cows or more. It would be educational.
