Gimbel is going crazy!

[DaaaaMan]

Can anyone advise on the correct alignment for the pitch motor shaft. Also curious if a flaw in the ribbon would cause my Gimbel to go completely crazy after turning it on? I've checked everything else but I'm not sure about the pitch shaft alignment.

I'm assuming that you are asking which direction that the flat spot of the shaft faces when inserting into the camera?
If so, the flat side goes to the rear of the Phantom.

Thanks I'll double check that. Got new ribbon and new motor. My fingers are crossed.
