Default Airplane rudder gyro

I have an uncontrolable WW1 triplane. Due to the scale landing gear which is well in front of the ballance point, I can't control takeoffs. I would like to install a gyro on the rudder for ground handleing.

Will the GY401 work for this application? Also, can I use a non digitial servo with the GY401. I have a 9202 installed.

After the airplane takes off, I have no further use for the gyro. Can I some how shut it off after take off?

I called Futaba tech support and they said "get a GY611". I don't want to spend $370 if the GY401 will work.

I have never used a gyro and have six other WW1 tail draggers that I have no problems with on take offs. Any help is appriciated.
