@mLk17 Tug has a gyro hidden under the seat and really is just a bunch of subassembly items thrown together, it flys ok without the glider if you want to put a cockpit on it. Concept is get up high using the tug and enjoy circling the islands. The glider doesn't need a gyro it's less than 1500lbs in weight and responds well to all stick inputs
