| If you have soldering skills and a decent iron and good rosin core solder, it's an easy fix. You could snip out the damaged section, splice, and use heat shrink to cover and support the solder joints. Or you get more involved, and replace the wires altogether, this involves taking the case off the gyro and being a bit more careful working on the circuit board. If you don't, it's time to have Hobby Services take care of it.
The advice to tape it and fly it assumes you don't give a rat's a$$ about the money you've invested in your heli. Flying with frayed wires and chewed up insulation is silly and puts your heli at risk.
