After rotating the first axis for 10 deg. the second roll is about at 8 deg. I think the deviation comes from the gyro. Since the first and second axes are physically connected, the acceleration values should be the same although the IMUs are differently positioned. But the gyro values can not be the same because the 2. gyro is placed on the center of gravity of the second link.

Now, the second roll becomes -2 deg. ?
