A more compact version of this available here
Compact and easy to install control moment gyroscopes and stabilization gyroscopes on a stick. A compact versions of mu control moment cube control gyros and stabilization gyros from BeaconAircraft's Gyroscopic Sphere for use in your creations. Designed to be used together but you may choose to use them separately. Created using extensive XML moding. Credit would be appreciated. If you are organizing a combat tournament you should probably ban the use of such mechanisms.
Controls: applying any amount of throttle will spin up the gyros.
Installation instructions:
1. pick up the 2 gyro assembles bu the yellow block and drag to create sub assembly icon one at a time,
2. load/build your aircraft,
3. place the 2 sub assembles on the aircraft like in example aircraft.
4. change the green stick rise value to bring the gyros down In to the aircraft fuselage.
5. adding dead weight to gyros wheels increases rotation/stabilization force. 6. Ones you test flown the aircraft nudge the block and stick down in to the fuselage
7. don't use mirror aircraft, or mirror part near the gyros as this will cause them to lock up.

I still use this on my builds and prefer it over the gyro that was added to the game a while back. Have you made an updated or smaller version?
@OverlordAeronautics2 I don't know about "super" but it is very stable.
@JakeTheDogg that happens sometimes with high part count aircraft, try putting just the control gyros on it , tell me if that helps.
Woah! This also acts like a rcn module
