Can a car gyro turned on it its side work for stability for a elevator?

[TectTrader]

Im building something totally new, not a plane, but I need pitch/level stability for this device just like a gyro for plane elevator, but I need to a car remote with a trigger. Would I be able to turn a car gyro on its side and use this way?

Sorry guys totally new to RC stuff so not sure who or where to ask this!

Sounds like it but if you described what you are doing in more depth it would help.

I dont know if a car gyro and plane gyro use the same methods to gauge stability. what I will be using it for is very slow moving, so im concerned the car gryo may need geforces or something vs a plane gyro which may or may not use gravity/levelness.

In short think of my building a plane and I want to use a car remote control indeed finger trigger possibly in one of two ways:
1. pull trigger back elevator goes up, push trigger away, elevator goes down.
2. pull trigger back a little and elevator will be like a window wiper mode where it goes full range up and down, and as I pull the trigger back more the elevator moves up and down every faster like a throttle almost.

Any ideas on how to do these would be AMAZING, ill even pay for some help!!!

Sounds like a dolphin, but unless you give more details I doubt you'll get any useful information. Why does it need to be a car gyro and not a plane gyro, for example. Does it need to maintain altitude, or just attitude? Is any lateral movement involved, or is it all up and down?

Well, you made a good point, and I was fed some wrong ideas this morning about using car gyro, I got a plane transmitter and gyro receiver so all good there for testing, but any ideas how I could get the elevator to to pump up and down and with a variable speed?

Yes I do.

I would hope so, given you're Older than Dirt!
Please do share, Kallend!!

I take it I can't use a servo as they are a one-speed motor for the faster moving action as AI increased the throttle on the elevator tail to move faster I expect.

Good one!

[TectTrader]

Yes I do.

Will you help me, or are you a funny forum troll good at comments only and no help.... LOL

Why should I (or anyone else) help you when you refuse to reveal what you're up to?

I actually provide lots of help to people who are open with their requests. For example, dozens of free 3DP designs for R/C aircraft, free Arduino software, etc.

Well, I'm working on a new idea/invention and trying to learn how to do this part, and I can't let the cat out of the bag like that unfortunately. I thought you were being fun and willing to help out with your previous comments but I see now, you have a very different mindset and personality. No worries, we are not compatible, thanks for your time though.

Well, since you are obviously out to make money from your invention, why not do it properly and hire a consultant instead of freeloading and wanting the input for nothing.

I am a retired engineer - my rates are competitive ($250/hour, 8 hour minimum, + expenses)..

I did offer to pay for your help in previous post but your to much of a big shot old fart with crappy attitude and too much time on your hands.

i dont work with people like you, nor would pay some old-school retiree $250 an hour when I can get it on UpWork for a fraction of that and with great service.

happy tinkering!

Yeah, you should definitely get someone younger 'cause they'll understand all the recent updates to Newton's laws that the old fogies just can't seem to grasp.

Sounds like a Cetaceacopter 🤔

Probably better to use a motor and mechanical linkage rather than a gyro, assuming this is for propulsion.
