Default Head Tracking

I am setting up my first FPV plane and want to include head tracking. I have a video camera, transmitter, receiver, camcorder, etc., and have built a two axis camera mount, but have not selected my goggles, gyro, splitter, etc.,

I am looking for information on a gyroscope and interface to control channels 5 and 6 for pan and tilt of the camera. I am currently using a Hitec Optic 6 transmitter and am willing to do internal changes to use it or purchase another transmitter.

This subject has probably been explained a number of times, but I cannot find it and welcome directions from those of you that have already been there.

Thanks in advance,

Dick

After many hours of research and hands on trial and error and speaking with the radio companies it appears that only the Futaba and Airtronics radios have the ability to send data in thru the trainer port and out to specific mapped channels to run the head tracker.
