Matt,
You can use a Futaba or a JR gyro with futaba gear. My bobcat flew with a 309DPS and a JR G450 gyro. If you can find one I would go with the G450 gyro. It is a real joy to use and setup is quite easy.

I am currently setting up a BobCat on a Futaba 9ZA radio. The gyro set-up is really simple. The gyro gain is on Aux 1 and then mixed using the P-Mix function.
why are you using a pmix? Why don't you just assign the gain control to the retract switch in the function menu? Then use the ATV of Aux1 to set the gain desired.
Patrick.
