Lol join the club.. Recommend using 30percent fuel.. It's easier to tune these engines (OS) on 30 percent .. And better power.. 
I m not great either. I know how to.. Have tuned both my helis, but still struggle with it sometime.. I definitely know enough to get you going and tuned for good power. That's all you'll need right now.

That's the sensor for a governor . There is probably a magnet sitting on the clutch. And this is a hall effect sensor for picking up rpm. If this is connecting somewhere that's your governor.
Great that you hbe this preinstalled , this makes your life much easier. Because if not you would have to unmounting Fe engine and clutch, drill a hole, epoxy a magnet And then balance the clutch for a magnetic sensor.
If this doesnt work I'll tell you a work around (backplate rpm sensor) to bypass all the above states mysery
Does this connect to somewhere?

Hahahaahha you got a ht start experience already.. and you already replaced it... Means your old clutch os gone. So yeah just take that sensor down.. When we need to set a governor, we can get you setup with backplate sensor. They are a miracle lol.. It's so easy...

Buzzing is good in most cases. It's trying to correct the movement that gyro is detecting.
Servo type: if wrong on the gyro (digital or analog) will make the servo buzz too much. Servo specs tell you what type it is, and use dip switch on the gyro to select right type of servo and it'll reduce.. Gy401 sometimes likes to be reinitialized , and when you put your tail together. Right servo and right everything, it'll get just the right amount of load on it, and it'll behave. Don't worry.

Got the Swash plate today and just installed it. I just thought of something, I dont have the Vertical Fin,Stabilizer Fin,or Tail support rods,or origanal canopy for this heli . When i bought it Fusalage was allready installed. So i can either save the money for those things or put Fuse back on.Right now i'm going over our previous posts and making sure all my settings are correct,I don't know why ,but i'm a little confused by the tail set up, i got to get it right because once the fuse is back on ,i can't get to Gyro or tail servo

Just set the tail up in Rate mode so it's centered on the blades, linkages and servo arm. Once that is done, if you are running a good gyro, it will correct for anything that you have not put in there. Everything else will be done in the Tx under the gyro settings. don't adjust teh travel adjustment for the gyro except to program in end points.
