I know there are thousands of thread out there about how to setup a Telebee HH Gyro, but of the thousands I couldn't get one that are using the stock Esky transmitter to setup the hh telebee gyro. So is there anyone here that can help me to setup my Telebee HH gyro on my Belt CP wif a Esky Stock Transmitter (EK2-0406A)?

I recently installed the TeleBee gyro on my otherwise stock Belt with the stock transmitter. Once installed on the helicopter, the only adjustment that was required was pushing the servo reverser on the transmitter to "NOR." I had it set to reverse. Once the helicopter is off the ground the tail holds, though it rotates a bit immediately before liftoff.
Is your gyro installed on the helicopter? Have you tried flying it yet?

It is not installed because I'm looking for instruction on how to set it up after I put it on. But thnx alot on sharing your experience, guess it might not be too complecated. I'll try your way and hope it works.

Installation is straightforward. Remove the stock gyro and the receiver, which will require cutting the ties and using a little muscle to pull off the double sided tape. I installed the TeleBee in the same location as the stock gyro, though it can be mounted elsewhere. The gyro must be mounted so that the writing on the gyro faces sideways, not skyward like on the stock gyro. The writing on my setup faces the right side of the helicopter and reads top to bottom. It is attached only using the two-sided taped, though you might also want to tie it down. The wiring coming out of the tail servo plugs into the TeleBee gyro with the white wire being the top. There are two sets of wiring comes out of the TeleBee gyro. The wiring set containing multiple strands plugs into the 4 slot on your receiver (the slot of stock gyro was plugged) and the single strand wire goes into the 5 slot (should currently be empty). The wire to the 5 slot will enable you to switch between rate and hh mode on your receiver, but makes it impossible to adjust the gain manually. You might not want to install the single strand wire into the 5 slot. You will need to reattach the receiver into the same place it was before. I installed mine in an almost identical manner, but now wish I had done it with the slots pointing towards the rear of the helicopter for easier access. Use ties to secure the transmitter, and if you wish, the gyro, and also the loose wiring. How you do it is an art, but I tried to tie up all the wiring using one tie for simplicity.
Hope this helps.

Lol thnx for the long tips. If I don't plug the single wire to channel 5, will the heli b in HH or Rate mode? Yea I feel your pain for having the receiver slot pointing inward, but I gave my Belt-CP a new frame and now the slots are pointing towards the tail. It makes my life much more easier for inspecting each servo.

If the gain is above 50% it is in HH and if the gain is below 50% it is in rate

One quick tip, when removing the stock gyro, (or anything mounted with 2 sided tape) if you twist it, it'll come loose a lot easier.

Do I really have to mount the Telebee gyro words facing sideway? Can I just mount it that the words are facing the sky?

I believe all the smaller Telebee models mount like the Esky 0704A HH gyro... Label pointing sideways or to the rear. If you mount it label up, it will respond to roll or pitch instead of yaw.
