Narrative:

The gyro pressure system did not have enough pressure for the gyros to operate correctly at lower than cruise RPM's. I also misunderstood the controller's instructions to turn to a heading of 220 degrees -- instead I turned to 320 degrees. While trying to assess gyro problem, I got too low on the GS. Made 2 approachs to land.
