With that said, a gyro on a calm day doesn't necessarily add a lot (except maybe the SAFE feature if you get in a bad orientation all on your own). The condition you have of requiring massive left aileron trim to get it to fly level is another issue that's more concerning. A gyro may "ease the pain" of that slightly, but won't solve it as you still need to get it trimmed correctly. I would image that with that much trim, sitting on the ground the ailerons are no where near level when the sticks are nuetral. If it's not the flaps, is it possible the elevators are not symmetrical? I know that's a stupid question as no doubt you took great care in setting up the surfaces to begin with, but at this point (unless it's the missiles), I'm out of ideas.
