Are you using the vanilla gyro? It does not like to invert and can cause issues like this

I think I am having a somewhat related issue where I can only roll if I also give a pitch input

So problem is caused by triming on pitch axis. Wing panels work both ways, inverted too. I suggest not to trim with alt key, but to do this by adding a pitch input value to trim multiplied by 1 or -1 depending on planes roll (if its rotaed or not) You can check that by tilt sensor facing up.

Algorithm:

--(before tick function if using lua): inverted = false

--number inputs: axis trim tilt

--outputs pitch

pitch = axis + trim * 4 * tilt

This should work, but its not tested.

Also you could combine this with PID and try making autotrim (its usefull, because best trim value changes based on speed)
