Gyro help please

[TINO]

Hello everyone and thank you for your time.
I have a Belt cp and recently changed the original Esky gyro for a TELEBEE GR201 Head Lock & Standard gyro.
I have been trying for a day to get this to work to no avail.
Everything seems to be plugged in correctly.
When I throttle up and the bird just starts to become airborne, it starts to spin out of control, and as I correct it, it starts spinning in the other direction also uncontrollable.
The gyro is new but I do not have the destructions that came with it.
Any help or direction would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Tino.

PS Will the factory (stock) TX work with this gyro?

I have a Futaba programmable radio, T6EXHP which I can try.

Hmmm...have you carried out the basic checks?

without powering the rotor, just switch on and swing the helis nose left or right and see if the gyro puts in a correction.

Yes I have.
The gyro doesnt seem to respond and the servo slowly creeps to one side. I recenter it with the stick and it creeps again.

I turned the gyro 90* (from its back [horizontal] to its side [vertical]), and it works great!
I thank each and every one of you for the great help.

Ah, I didnt think of that one

glad to hear that all is well now, its pretty rare for even the cheaper end gyros to not work. Most solid state electrics are reliable these days.

The servo creep might be because of the heading lock being engaged, I remember this as being a possibility for some gyro setups.
