Default RE: How does a Gyro work on Rudder Application?

twinman!

I am working out a system design for a crude auopilot for a trainer kitplane.
I am trying to keep the things simple as much as I can as I donot have any good knowledge in flying. Therefore I have decided to control the rudder servo with a micro-controller doing the directional changes.
The question which is bothering me, is ther any simple solution to keep the plane balanced that is the aileron & elevator control using a gyro. Is gyro the only solution? Can I use an accelerometer for this purpose?

The threads which I have been browsing are old, I donot know whether you will see my request or not?

Regards,
