That is NOT how most gyros implement heading hold, its either on or in rate mode and most commonly used to torque roll and then then turned off to fly. The feeling of flying in heading hold is very un-natural and you can get yourself in trouble. It's hard to put in to words the way it affects a plane in the air but think of taking off a prop plane, you're in the habit of holding some rudder, well do that with a heading hold gyro and it will keep turning harder and harder till you spin out and hit something.
