 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Gyro Gearloose
Gyro was first seen in Walt Disney's Comics & Stories #140 (May, 1952), but only briefly — he was there to deliver a single gag, then get out of the way so Donald Duck and his nephews could get on with their story.
Gyro himself wasn't a Duck — in fact, his exact species was never specified, tho it's generally assumed (and confirmed by Barks in interviews) he's a chicken —; but that's the set of characters he's always been associated with.
Gyro was in #s 1047 (November 1959), 1095 (April 1960), 1184 (May 1961) and 1267 (December 1961).

 What is Flying a Gyro like   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Although the Gyro is small, it is not a toy, and should be regarded for what it is, an aircraft to be maintained and operated by you.
All motions to control the Gyro are short motions, with instant pullback on the stick to the neutral position This is different than the control of an airplane, where you push the controls and hold until the craft responds.
In the Gyro, it’s always move the stick and return to neutral, instead of holding the stick till the maneuver is accomplished.

 Two Gyro Science Mode Handbook   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In this mode, two gyros are used in combination with the Fine Guidance Sensors to provide fine-pointing information while science observations are being conducted.
Gyro #1 was removed from the pointing control loop, and Gyros #2 and #4 were used with the FGS to control the HST attitude during all science observations.
The control law used during the test was the same as the one that will be used when HST enters two-gyro mode (either deliberately or as a result of gyro failure).

Although Vortech has available reproductions of the manuals and prints for the Bensen Gyros, these materials are not sold for the construction from scratch of one of these aircraft since Bensen Aircraft is no longer in business and the technical support for safe operation is not available.
Unlike a helicopter, the gyro's rotor blades are unpowered, necessitating a short roll for take-off—unless the craft is fitted with a pre-rotator, which can greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for a runway.
Also, the gyro is less affected by high wind than typical fixed-wing aircraft and is not subject to stall.

The purpose of this program is to replace all existing older technology ballistic wheel and suspended gyro based navigators throughout the fleet in both surface and subsurface assets.

 Gyro sacrifice may extend Hubble's life - space - 24 February 2005 - New Scientist
Unless the US Congress intervenes or NASA reverses course, the telescope will have to rely on those four gyros for as long as possible before a robot is sent up to "de-orbit" the telescope - sending it crashing safely into the ocean.
The agency cancelled a shuttle mission to Hubble in January 2004, citing astronaut safety in the wake of the Columbia disaster in February 2003.
Then mission managers will make a decision about turning one of the working gyros off - which would probably occur in mid-2005 - and letting Hubble live out the rest of its days on two gyros.

 Futaba® GY Series Gyroscopes
It's ground-breaking Futaba innovation, resulting in a line of heli gyros like nothing you've ever seen.
This feature is the equivalent of heading hold, except that it utilizes a gyro sensor that's more accurate and less susceptible to vibration than conventional piezo gyros.
It continually sends control signals to the servo, even when the tail is not moving, for extremely low temperature drift and more positive control for hovering and flying in crosswinds.
