Erm.. wat's a gyro tape? Do you mean the double sided tape used to tape the gyro to the heli?

mockingbird has them..

u also can consider "red" all weather mounting tape from Scotch of 3M

for which gyro ... the 5 dollar one i think is for the 611 with the metal plate

the D.I.Y shop in most neighbourhood shopping...forgot what name, plastic bag is light brown one.

3m foam double sided tape. 2 types. One is black rubbery with red backing, another is white foam with white/green peel-off. I prefer the later for gyro because its a lot softer. The grey/red all weather is better for other electronic mounting because it can be removed off as a whole piece cleanly.

the gyro tape is to reduce vibrations sent to the gyro. These vibes can be caused by the motor spinning at very high speeds. These vibes also causes the gyro to go crazy.

did u clean both surfaces(underside of gyro + mounting surface on heli) with alcohol b4 mounting?

what i also do is a put a tiny drop of CA on the surface to be mounted on the heli frame
