I guess I'm not the first to think of it.
However, I would like Ron H. to weigh in on this (or some other gyro juggernauts) to see if it is even worth it for the control authority.

I'm just wondering with the modern fully tilting heads if it would be possible to trim attitude at different cruise speeds with elevator trim, and then if it is even worth it.
Thanks for the posts so far - the cierva diagram was great. Where did you get it?
