Pay attentation to the details, make sure the mechanics is running freely and without slop.
You might use WD40 oil to minimize friction in the mechanics.
Make sure the head damping is as hard as possible. This might help:

Make sure there is absolutley no vibration. Vibrations will strongly influence the gyro. Start with the tail and main blades detached and let the motor run up. If there are vibrations they are probaply caused by the paddles. Use tape to correct the vibrations. Then mount the tail blades and again use tape to correct all vibrations. Finally, mount the main blades and adjust the tracking and reduce all vibrations withs tape. You should end up with almost no vibrations. This is very important, to make it fly well.
Pay attention to the TS setup. In 0 pitch all servos should be in neutral position. Use max -11/11 degree pitch.
Set you controller to 100% power, no gas curve.
Use the heavier paddles, unless you want to flip it in your living room  The stock setup is very good for tight indoor 3D. If you prefer fast forward flying outdoors with loops and rolls you could even add some additional weights to the flybar.
Don't mount the tail fin if you want to do very fast backwards and sidewards flying.
