When you pulled the red wire from the gyro you powered it down, now the tail ESC does not see a signal and will not initialise. You say you have a BEC connected so then you will want to remove the red wire from both of the ESC, not the gyro. You also do not need a "Y" connector for the ESC's they should not be connected to the same channel on the receiver. The main ESC going to the hacker will be connected to the battery and to the throttle channel ( ch3 on futaba and on GWS) it will have the red wire pin diconnected at the end that goes into the receiver. The tail ESC will have its red wire pin also pulled, but it will be connected to the Gyro and to the battery. The BEC will connect to the battery and to any spare channel you have on the receiver, OR you can use a "Y" connector between it and the Main ESC that way it will power everything through the throttle channel and you won't need an extra channel. You will probably have to give full left rudder to make the tail ESC initialise also or you can create a special mix on the radio to do this.
