Sure thing. This plane is so tolerant. CG, battery weights... very tolerant, a real floater. After a few flights consider tailerons, full span flaps and other programing. I still think it should have come stock with TVs and more lights. Beating the dead horse...

I don’t have a gyro in mine for the flight servos. I do have a steering gyro. I did bypass the MCBe for ailerons, elevators, rudders and flaps. I did that so I could do some programming.
I also tried mine stock 6s, 8s, 10s, and 12s. I put it 8s, not a stick FW 8s after trying the different set ups. Since I went 8s I did need a different ESC/ BEC. I also added thrust vectoring and wing tip lights.

where do you place the gyro?
Do you bypass the bluebox or not?
change the bec or not?
Any mods need or advise i will appreciate
I recommend an enforcement of the front gear. The plastic part that holds the gear servo unfastens rapidly in the foam compartment. …at least in my plane. There are two holes prepared for screws. For the hole under the servo compartement you‘ll need a flat head screw. Underneath the cockpit I glued a piece of plywood for mounting the screws.
The two rear gears were also modified. The retract gears and the wheels are connected with a 5cm bolt that is fixed with two grub screws on each side. After take offs or landings on grass the bolts will unfasten, so that the plane might suffer unexpected steerings. I added a drop of Locktite to the bolts. (You can still disassemble the gear if necessary)

I can't picture what you are trying to describe...
