Default RE: Cougar Wiggle

Alright guys, I installed the G770 Gyro on the Cougar. I put the Gyro on the Rudder servo and the gain on Aux 5 (rotary knob on 12X radio). Everything is working lovely. I can increase and decrease the gain fantastically. I did not set it up for heading hold. The question I have is the following: Can I install the gyro right over the receiver? In other words, for clearance purposes, in my cougar, the only place for the gyro is right over the receiver (2.4 R221). I can install it over the main fuel tank, but that would require extensions and I would prefer not to use them. I range checked it with my brother and everything seemed to work just fine moving the nose left and right with the gyro compensating. Flight test on Tuesday.
