Yes tippy, thats what I have. What does ESC mean? I will unplug it, because I don't what that to happen again haha. What do those adjustments on the gyro do. I can turn the knobs with a small flat tip screw driver, but I don't know whats its doing. The gyro is working when I yaw it left it gives the t/r right input, When I get it lite on its skids it will spin and I have to do it manually. I'm going to work on the trim some more tonight. Thanks.

Electronic speed control (ESC). The typical ESC has three connections: (1) main motor battery, (2) motor, and (3) servo-like lead that plugs into the RX.
You probably have a multi-function receiver ... RX, gyro, ESC, mixer,etc
Can't find a close enough photo to see what the adjustments are for.

Now that I see you have a regular servo/linkage/slider/tail rotor pitch set up ... it might be easier to help along.

Good Luck,
