Gyroed,
On computerized / digital transmitters it normally goes in channel 5. Then you can adjust the sensitivity. Under 50% HH turns off. usually start with it at 70 and go up untill it starts to wag the tail (sometimes called hunting) and then back of till it stops or is manageable.

Hopefully your Gyro can be used with normal radios, and has pots (little screwdriver spots) to adjust gain, sensitivity, and dip switches to select Digital or normal servos and normal or reverse. Then you wouldnt need to plug in the extra wire. (My EF gyro can only be used with radios that control the gyro but I've had othe HH Gyro's that can be done mannually or through the TXJD)

When you turn it on and press the rudder stick to turn right if it goes left you would have to reverse the servo from the transmitter. (if it then starts to spin uncontrollably in either the right direction or wrong direction you need to reverse the gyro direction)

so if it turns right when you want to you then can stop the motor. look at which way the pitch goes on the tail when you turn right with the stick and then pick it up holding it in your hand and turn it to the left and the tails gyro should act like its trying to turn right (the same way the tail rotors pitich changed when you gave it right turn with the stick input.) If the gyro make the pitch go the opisite way then you have to reverse the gyro dip switch on the gyro.
