If you have never been using gyros... I would suggest trying things out on a foamy or a much less expensive plane until you are confident in what you are doing.
Until last week, the only opportunity were I have used a gyro was when I was flying helicopters.
Last week I had the opportunity of installing a Powerbox Igyro in my Composite Arf Tutor and I can say that I will never look back. Actually, now I have three (3) other Igyros that I want to install in my other planes. I'm also buying three (3) new Powerbox Royal Igyro.
The Tutor is already a very stable plane but with the Igyro, it is super easy to fly and it looks great in the air. Now is so stable even with wind and it really helps during landings. Does the plane needs the gyro ? Possibly not but it surely makes it look nice in the air and all acrobatic maneuvers are much more easy.
If set up correctly, flying your plane with a gyro shouldn't be a problem......
