Default Gyro Which One?

Not knowing a lot about Gyros and their terminology's, I ask the group for their experience. I want to put a Gyro on OMP 540 for the rudder. I seen a gyro in action this past weekend and now I really want one. The owner of the plane I seen said his was $200.00 CAD at http://www.greathobbies.com/ but I didn't get which model it was.

The gyro worked great for hovering. I am just getting into the hovering and have got into a few really nice ones so far but It's really easy to screw-up working all the axis plus the throttle. Our field is rock and not very forgiving. I really don't want to sacrifice a few planes learning so I figure the gyro would be an asset. My plan is that once I get the rest of it mastered then I can then learn the rudder part of it and eventually take the gyro out (at least thats what I'll tell everyone!! ) GYRO...HELL NO!

Any suggestions or help would be great. By the way I am using an Futaba 6XAS.

Thanks
Don
