Default Gyro on taileron/elevon/delta?

Hi good folks.

I need some help from the gyro gurus. I have a jet that I think can really get some help from gyro stabiliztion through the roll and pitch axis, especially on landing.

And it uses tailerons.

I have read two possible solutions:

1. The now outdated, out of production futaba 352 dual axis (I've found a couple on fleabay though) that can control roll and pitch AND has a mixer for elevons/delta

2. Getting two single axis gyros (one for each taileron servo) and placing them at 45 degrees to both axis'(once mounted, the gyros look kind of like a wedge or snowplow formation) and then fine tuning the gains to make the appropriate deflections on the tailerons.

Any one else have any input on this? I'd really appreciate it.
