The auto-pilot requires information about the exact degree of rotation around the vertical axis in order to orientate the model accurately (e.g. after a rotation around the vertical axis) and in order to measure inclination quickly. This necessitates a vertical axis gyro in any case, and it is an obvious step to use it for the tail rotor.
