Status: offline 		Yes, when I adjust the values I can't see that it makes a bit of difference with the tail wag. I've tried adjusting the dials on the gyro as well. Last owner tells me it works but at this point I'm starting to wonder. Is there an extra step in the 9303 that I'm missing??

Status: offline 		Ok, that changes a few things.  If you have the yellow wire going into the gear channel, then it will change going thru the radio and not the dial.  Inhibit the  gyro menu because that is most likely causing your problems.  You will use the gear travel adjust to adjust your HH and rate mode.  You want to be able to hover it in rate mode without using your rudder stick.  Mechanically adjust your tail rod to make corrections, do not use subtrim or trim.  Make sure your trim is centered as well.  You can use subtrim to center the servo, but that is it.  Start off with about 55% on both HH and rate mode as a starting point.
