I've been flying and tweaking my little Guai for a couple of weeks now and thought I'd share some of what I've learned
Guai EP200 belt drive, stock motor,esc,battery, 3Xhs45, logitech 2100/3100, DX7

I originally had the tail servo ball at 10.5mm from the servo center and 65 gain on the DX7 gyro sens menu and still had a slight wag mostly in hover that I couldn't get rid of by changing the gyro gain. Moved the ball to 8.0mm and set the gain up to 76 eliminating the wag.

When flying slow circuit in a 15 X 40 meter area the heli would settle as I lost transation lift in slow turns and I really had to add more throttle/collective than I liked. Curves were:
Throttle N 0 50 80 - 100
Id1 100-80- 100
Pitch N 40--50--100
Id1 0--------100
Change to:
Throttle N 0--60--85--100
Id1 100--85--100
Id2 100--90--100
Pitch curves unchanged

After bumping up the throttle just a few points and flying circuit in Id1 the headspeed and altitude control were much improved

BTW does anyone know where the name Guai comes from and how you pronounce it?

It's spelled Gaui, which is pronounced GOW-ee. Here's the company info. (http://www.gaui.com.tw/index_en.html)

I know this is just a funny conicidence, but you may know that GAUI suppliers have originally had spelling problems too. For example, on the paper box for the EP100SE I own, the red inprint on the box reads GUAI. Though Gaui havent let it this way, they have placed a white sticker over it with correct "GAUI". There's about six such stickers on the entire surface. :)
Similar went with the 'Electonic' on the former red labels. I've sent them a note about this, but it took them more than about half year to fix it.
Just my 2 cents.

What mode are you flying in?
