Guys, can you please help me with a problem i have with my Gyro [ GY-401 ] normally the gyro light stays on solid without any flashing but for some reason unless i have done something to the transmitter on the flight simulator not knowing, my gyro light will not stay solid , it flashes . all seems to work fine on the ground but i dont want to take the risk of flying until this is sorted out. any help much appreciated, thanks.

Make sure it is in Head lock mode on the transmitter when you turn on the receiver.

As the others said, its not in heading hold mode. One of your switches on your transmitter should change that.

You have most likely given it rudder trim on the transmitter!
Make sure trim on the tx is in center!
