Default Blade cp+ w/ gy401 HELP!

I have a blade cp+ and I'm using a gy401 gyro. I set it up as the instructions dictated. When I throttle up, the tail wags it doesn't matter if I'm in hh mode or rate. also the gain setting has no affect. I disconnected the main and tail motor connected my multi-meter directly to the tail out put from the E-flight 3-in-1. Without moving the heli or giving any rudder input I gave it about 1/3 throttle. The meter read 9.0 volts and about every 1.5 sec the voltage would drop .6 volts or so!? I did the same experiment w/o the gy401 and the voltage remained constant. With the gy401 setup I have tried altering the proportional,delay,gain to no avail...

Any help or ideas(I'm fresh out) would be helpful.

You may be trying to get incompatible products to work with each other. How does the gyro work with a regular receiver that's powered by a 4-cell battery pack? The 3-in-1 may not be giving the gyro good power or good signals so that it works properly.

The GY401 also needs a 4.8V power supply, or the equivalent of 4 NiCd cells. If your power supply is different, then you will have problems, too.
