Default What Gyros are People Currently Using?

I have been flying for a long time but I am just now interested in buying my first gyro. I need something to tame the takeoff of a semi-scale Beech Staggerwing. It is very short coupled with proportions similar to a Pitts Special with a wider track. It has a steerable tail wheel. It swings wildly on takeoff. I'm pretty much stuck with using a paved runway as the wheels are small enough that it has difficulty taxiing through the grass at the local field. I have done the basics such as adding right thrust and checking the toe-in on the main gear. A rudder gyro seems to be my best bet. I'm pondering a Hitec HG3XA but thought I would see what people here are using. Any suggestions?
