- In R/C modeling, a gyroscope or gyro is a device used to stabilize aircraft along one or more axis. R/C helicopters typically employ a single-axis gyro to counter the effects of main rotor torque on the tail. The gyro counters the effects of main rotor torque on the tail's heading, so the pilot can concentrate on control input and does not have to counter-balance all the external forces affecting the angle of the tail boom.
- Gyroscope is an Australian rock band from Perth, Western Australia, formed in 1997. The band comprises vocalist and guitarist Daniel Sanders, guitarist and back up vocalist Zoran Trivic, bassist and back up vocalist Brad Campbell and drummer Rob Nassif.

| - In R/C modeling, a gyroscope or gyro is a device used to stabilize aircraft along one or more axis. R/C helicopters typically employ a single-axis gyro to counter the effects of main rotor torque on the tail. The gyro counters the effects of main rotor torque on the tail's heading, so the pilot can concentrate on control input and does not have to counter-balance all the external forces affecting the angle of the tail boom. The gyro measures the acceleration forces along its axis and directly conteracts them by sending according corrective control impulses to the servo, thereby modifying the tail rotor's pitch. If, for example, a sudden gust of wind makes the tail turn to the right, the gyro will add just enough left-steering to keep the tail in position - unless the pilot instructs the vehicle to do a right turn. Gyros can be built mechanically, electronically (using piezo-elements) or optically. Mechanical gyros are mostly outdated and optical gyros are usually used for navigation in full-size aircraft, not R/C models. Modern electronic gyros have varying degrees of efficiency and precision and take anywhere from 40 seconds (for cheap models) to less than one second to initialize, during which the model should be located on a flat surface and not moved or shaken. Most gyros have a sensitivity setting that can be either set manually or remotely. A too low sensitivity setting results in the tail not staying in place, while a too high setting causes the tail to swing left and right in quick succession. Finding the right setting is a major contributing factor to the performance of the gyro. A quick servo is also of vital importance, since any delay between corrective control input and it's execution adds instability to the system. Lastly, gyros are sensitive to vibration and should be mounted with a thick double-sided adhesive tape, preferably on a location that is both close to the rotor shaft AND as non-vibrating as possible.
- Gyroscope is an Australian rock band from Perth, Western Australia, formed in 1997. The band comprises vocalist and guitarist Daniel Sanders, guitarist and back up vocalist Zoran Trivic, bassist and back up vocalist Brad Campbell and drummer Rob Nassif. Gyroscope has released three studio albums in their eleven year career, all recorded with their current lineup. The band started out under the name Gyroscope Sunday in 1997, releasing their first demo tape in 1998. In 2000, they released their first two EPs (Scalectrix and Means to an End), followed up by the Take Time EP in 2002. The band singed to Festival Mushroom Records in 2003 and released a further two EPs, Midnight Express and Driving for the Storm / Doctor Doctor, the later brought Gyroscope's first appearance on Triple J's Hottest 100 list, with the song "Doctor Doctor" featuring at number 92. Gyroscope's first album, Sound Shattering Sound, was released in 2004, seven years after forming. The debut album peaked at number 37 on the ARIA charts. A year later, Are You Involved? was released, debuting at number 20 on the ARIA charts. The sophomore album was followed by the release of the split single "Fast Girl / Beware Wolf", both songs appeared on the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2005. The band's rise in popularity continued, striking significant commercial success with their 2008 album Breed Obsession, which peaked at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart. The third album was released through Warner Music Australia, having four singles released from it, including "Snakeskin" (number 16 on the Wikipedia:Triple J Hottest 100, 2007) and the anthemic "Australia".
