Default RE: tail problems


ORIGINAL: boatfisher25

also the first time i went to fly it i crashed about 5in off the ground but i did not see anything broken so this morning i took it out to fly and it was spinning like i said so i brought it in and i looked at it and i noticed the boom in the back was bent slightly so i took it apart and bent it back as good as possible and put it back together and it still spins.
I would love to help you but I can't diagnose what the problem is unless you can provide more information..

Which way does it spin for starters?

Is it always the same way?

Does the tail rotor appear to be working?

Does the red light come on on the Gyro

Are all the servo leads plugged in securely to the receiver..

How fast does it spin..

A slow spin to the right could be indicative of a completely different problem than a fast spin to the leftso if you can give memore info I may be able to offer suggestions..

What other helis have you flown or is this your first?
