Default Hovering and Gyros

I have had one plane in my flying experience that worked nicely for hovering and that was for perhaps 5 seconds at a time. It eventually died from a 'hovering gone bad' accident.

I want to know about the use of two gyros (rudder and elevator) for the use of stable hovering. With remote gain on both gyros, this would likely help alot.

Has anyone tried using tail lock gyros as opposed to the standard gyros? Because these have more correction capacity as they measure the amount of time that the deviation occurs and can attempt to correct for it, these may be better.

This is for me, a hovering challenged person...please dont tell me about your four year old brother that hovers his 40% carden around the sand box. I already know that he's a better pilot than me.

Any input?...
