Dude,
Its a free country and you can do what you want but I would not recommend that you use a gyro. The whole thrill and personal satisfaction of hovering is knowing that YOU put in the time and effort to learn how to do it! If you use a gyro its just not the same at all. I mean it will look cool and all but you will know that its not really you that is doing it. A gyro is for all intents and purposes auto pilot flying, NOT you.
I am sure that some people will say "well then why do we use mixes"? But mixes are different, mixes are used to keep the airplane from doing things that are a result of design deficiencies and only to be used after you have exhausted all possible efforts of setting up the airplane correctly mechanically.
