Looks like you built it from scratch. Very nice. What heads are you using?

That is some really nice work. I have one of these fuses and have been wanting to put some mechanics in them. Looks like you might have figured it out. Looks very promising. Keep us posted. I cant wait to see more.

What is the purpose of running 2 gyro's ??

It depends on you. A typical installation would use one gyro on the pitch axis, and optionally another gyro on the yaw axis, and optionally a third on the roll axis. In my tandem test bed, I was running 2 x 3 bladed heads with 3 gyros. This configuration provided very good stability.
