Try using 2 Eagle 30A brushed esc's and an inexpensive gyro.

30A for the tail motor is overkill, but these escs are very inexpensive,
so you pay a little weight penalty.

You can get these parts at www.hobbyking.com.

Tower sells lighter but much more expensive brushed escs.

The latest Telebee headlock gyro works well.

Let me know if you'd like more info or a pic of one of my Axe's
that is set up this way.
