sciguy125 is correct. The gyro is an analog sensor. To convert the analog values to a digital value you need to use the Analog Digital Converter.
Kevin's ADC code also supports oversampling. This allows the 10 bit ADC in the 18F8722(processor in the RC) to accurately measure up to 16 bits of precision. More accuracy means better gyro data and less gyro drift.
[EDIT] Noah Kleinberg was right too, it just took me to long to post. [/EDIT]
If you need any help PM or e-mail me.
[EDIT] Here is the datasheet for the gyro included in the 2006 KOP.
