    start with your tx.
    remove any sub trim on the rudder channel. set the normal trims to the center.
    in the gyro menu set the switch to "gyro"
    set the two values to pos 0 (switch up) 73% pos1 (switch down)64%

    on the heli
    unplug the gyro from the rudd channel and plug the servo directly into the rudd channel on the rx. power on the tx then the heli. the servo should center.power down both. if needed remove the arm and reset it as close to straight up as possible. now check the 90 degree pivot arm at the rear it should be in line with the boom and tail shaft.if not adjust the rod.once that is done take off the servo arm and turn it 1 spline anticlockwise(top towards the front of the heli). reconnect the gyro and servo correctly.

    looking at you video's andy your controls are set up in the correct directions so shouldn't need adjusting. just make sure the gyro is set to normal and not digital

    a tip with the gyro. once you have powered up the heli try and avoid picking it up and turning it,as the gyro will start to try and regain its heading and if the heli is stationary or your swinging it about they soon pop!so set the heli down where you are going to fly from and plug in there.
    now i know you will need to test it so just do the minimum and then power down

    to check it power on tx and heli it should initialise and settle roughly where you have set it . put the gyro switch down pick the heli up by the head and flick the tail right and the tail hub should move towards the boom. put the heli down and it should center.put the gyro switch up do the same test this time it wont center it will try and move all the way to full travel and hold. power down the heli!!!and tx

    check your belt tension is correct as a loose belt causes kicks.dont spool up to fast this also causes it to kick.

    try this and test fly it gently if your still having problems ill give you my moby n# and well go from there
    there is another way of setting the gyro using travel adjust but i dont think its as good and ive blown one gyro using it
