I have a few questions regarding the Richie Valens Crash back in 1958.
1.) The CAB report refers to the DG as being "caged." What do they mean by that?
2.) Can someone explain how the Sperry F3 gyro worked? I understand that sky was on the bottom and dirt was on the top (backwards of today's attitude indicators). Did it also roll opposite?
For those who are wondering where I got this information, the official CAB report can be found here:

Thanks!
