Chiplight,
In other words, it appears that you are saying that the two precessional forces will self-cancel, leaving only the requirement for enough force to rotate a static mass. The following excerpts from two web sites may support your position.
Damn it!

"Sometimes precession is unwanted so two counter rotating gyros on the same axis are used. Also a gimbal can be used. Gyroscopes, when gimbaled, only resist a tilting change in their axis. The axis does move a certain amount with a given force."

"Of course, with two gyros in counter rotation, the center point of the shaft is rotated so that Laithwaite's demonstration is performed by two gyros together. However, this requires a steady place to turn from (Laithwaite had his feet on the ground, and used his body to twist the gyro around, with respect to the ground.). Laithwaite claimed a few percent decrease in the apparent weight of his two gyroscope system (not antigravity! - just force in the upwards direction). He also had big problems with the shafts breaking.
In space, this system could never work, since as the gyros were twisted one way, the spaceship would twist the other."
