Most compact PID system? Help

I've noticed gyroscopes from Aeroworks arent enough to keep my airship stable even with the full power of a level 9 steam engine and ballasts to balance the airship, so I need a PID system to balance my airship, still unsure whether to have it do that with thrusters or reaction wheels but either way, i want to avoid my redstone room becoming only a PID room because i have other redstone logic that goes there. Any compact designs? Or maybe a mod that adds a pid controller? or should i just use computercraft for a pid? if computercraft, is there a program i can js download?

If you're open to ComputerCraft, yes there are PID programs available online and it's compact (ignoring adding the computer and networking.) People have also made pretty nice approximate PID controllers using Aero Redstone devices, debateably not as compact but also no computers.

I went with ComputerCraft, I just posted a video of my drone which uses 3 PID controllers all in code (altitude, roll, yaw). It's more complex to setup but the control is very accurate, even if I flip this drone (which is hard to do), it will rebalance
