Gyro in heading hold mode or rate mode (normal mode)

[slumi]

Hi folks,

I would like to hear your opinion on gyro flight modes. Do you use rate mode or heading hold or both.
I so far have experience with the AS3X in rate mode and the Eagletree Guardian running in heading hold mode.
I like best the 3D heading hold mode of the Eagletree Guardian. A smaller parkflyer plane is then very stable in stronger wind boosts.

What is your experience ?
