Default Gun barrel stabilization...

Some of you know I am building a Leo 2HEL that I am going all out on. I am into the turret contruction and decided to do servo elevation and rotation via the TK22 and use a dual axis head and hold gyro that can be toggled on and off.

Some of you have done this and it does work after seeing some youtube vids. Tom Huggil comes to mind. Sorry if mispelled.

The servo elevation.. being that the stick returns to center, does the barrel always return to center or does the Tk22 and gyro override that ? Or does this need a standard heli stick on the controller to work?

What are some dual axis gyros that can control 2 servos to get the job done. I think some work better then others so I would like a little direction in the choice of gyro to buy.

Does the gyro mount in the turret or the hull ??

Thanks in advance !!
