Hi,
can you tell me anything about your setup?
Unfortunately with zero details it is hard to help or guess.

I can't do any set up due to the rudder reading in the gyro all i have done is bound it to my DX9 , then when I try to do a set up in diagnostic the rudder is at +118% even tho gyro gain etc is zero in the transmitter i have even reversed the servo this did nothing also tried to adjust servo travel and it still reads +118%

Please share your 4DS file - you can get it from the Backup tab.
The second photo is unfortunately completely blur. But if you will attach the settings file then you do not have to take any photos.
Probably some channels are out of order in the Channel mapping. So it might be enough to return to default layout.
Unfortunately still you do not revealed any information about the model. For example what receiver you are using.. Do you fly with other models with the same radio?

Hi it's a Trex 500 pro it flys 100% it has the standard align servos a castle bec the spirit gyro is used as the receiver , DX9 transmitter, the only way I can set up is to assign the rudder off channel 4 to channel 7 but now I can't use bank switches for acro stability and rescue the transmitter works 100% ok on my other helis just tested it ,the gyro is showing 118% on rudder any time you assign it to rudder all other channels work rudder 100% right

Does it mean that you are using Spektrum satellites?
You have to use just clear profile in your radio, set swashplate to Servo H1 (no CCPM mixing) and use default channel layout in the Spirit Settings.
Then everything will work.
Rudder should be configured to Channel 4. Gyro Gain channel to Channel 5 - in the Spirit Settings/General/Channels (so just default settings).
Very likely channels in your radio are somehow swapped, for this reason it does not work.
So I highly recommend to use a new, clean profile and all will be sorted.

Hi i have used a clean set up twice and still have same problem . I will later change the satellites just in case 1 has gone bad . But its strange how rudder reads 118% with just system lead and bec plugged in

Could you please share your settings file? It would be very helpful so I can advise any solution.
With Spektrum satellite this should not occur.
Only if some kind of mix is used or so.
I guess that the satellites are connected at the side connectors, right?
