Default Is this a gyro thing?

Hello all ...

I have a question w/ my Raptor 30 V2. I am using a G410T JR gyro w/ a XP6102 radio. Everything is going surprisingly well but when I am in a stand still hover the nose of the heli will slowly start to turn left I would say in about 3 degree increments every few seconds or so. So I correct using the trim on the radio to one click right. Now what happens is it does the same exact thing but now the nose will go right in little increments. I think if I let it keep going it would eventually go 360 degrees around. Any trim adjustment on the radio is too much. There is no "neutral". I have tried to adjust the gain on the gyro both low and high but it gets me nowhere. Any suggestions?

you just have to correct it manually, its probably the wind doing it

Check the tension on your tail rotor belt... the only time I had my tail slip a few degrees at a time like that was when my belt was loose... it would slip a little at a time and then catch again, just like you said...
