Wouldnt the gyroscopic forces of a 600 Lb flywheel spinning at several thousand or 10's of thousands rpm cause problems manuvering the vehicle? I know that the propeller of a small plane causes the aircraft to turn and must be trimed with an opposing force. Maybe this is the reason flywheels are not such a good idea?
