I have just fitted the Microheli gyro mount and the gyro is now upside down. Dumb question I know but do I need to reverse it. Can I expect any other problems mounting it this way.

Cheers

If you flipped it upside down, then yes you have to reverse it.

Just check it by moving the stick to the right and observing that the tail rotor blades change pitch so as to blow the tail to the left. Then turn the nose to the left and the servo should do the same thing as when you gave right stick.

If you rest a finger on the servo arm (with the hand you're holding the heli with to turn it) you will be able to feel which way the servo moves, which I find a lot easier than trying to see if more/ less pitch is being added to the tail blades as I'm waving it around.
