Capt Jim, I would think that any gyro that is capable of holding a plane in a torque roll would have easy going keeping it pointed straight on takeoff.

What if you use the gyro to drive something like a match box with separate battery attached? That way the gyro is only providing the signal and the match box is providing for the load. Just throwing some thoughts out, not a gyro expert on this end, and no.......I didn't stay at Holiday Inn Express last night.
