I'm just curious have you tried using a compass to re-zero the gyro? I haven't tried it but from what I've read it seems to create an almost drift less gyro as the compass doesn't have the issues of drift.

note: running a compass is an expensive operation so it should only be run to reset the gyro which is less expensive (or so I've read...)
