Default Wanting to use gyro on the tail

I got a 1/3 scale CAP 580. Iam wanting to set it up with a gyro on the tail but I dont how. The radio gear Iam going to use is Hitec 2.4ghz and the tail servos as well are going to be Hitec 1/4 scale servos "two of them", I am also running a smartfly power expander.

Iam wanting to no how to set it up and also what type of gyro to use.. Thanks

Well I no the gyro is cheating but I rather cheat due to I hate playing on sims beacuse sims dont come close to the real thing. Iam just wanting a little help from the gyro so I can get a better feel for it.

work on your set up and prop, a 35% Cap should be easy to hover without gimmicks...better try another sim, as the modern ones are VERY good and do translate the hovering with ease.. Good luck! You can do it! why 1/4 scale size servos? there are plenty that have a near normal case and deliver the power needed.
