The tail esc is in effect your tail servo so you want to plug the esc in where you would normally plug in the tail servo. Which telebee do you have? One has two connecting wires and the other micro gyro has one connecting wire with a slot to plug in your servo. The other ones are for .30 size helis.
The 6g gyro (micro), one wire with a plug. Last night I hooked it up that way and it still doesn't work. I'm going to get a test light today and make sure power is being supplied to the ESC (sub par soldering).

What doesn't work? The whole heli doesn't power up, the tail doesn't spin, or the gyro doesn't hold a heading.

I couldn't find any instruction manuals on the internet, so I'm going from the instructions on my Eflite G90 gyro manual. In the picture below, connection A is not used. The gyro will be in Heading Hold mode and you use the gain "screw" on the gyro to increase or decrease gain. (note: some gyros don't work this way and must be plugged into channel 5 which must be adjustable, the stock Axe radio can't be used then) Connection B goes to channel 4 on your receiver. Connection C is where your ESC will plug into. BUT, be sure and disable the "BEC" feature by removing the red wire and covering it with heatshrink or electrical tape. You don't want power going through the gyro to the recceiver. Finally, you need to spit the power from your battery to go to both ESCs. One on the main motor, and one on the tail.
