Hi. I have a new Raptor 60 and a 601 Gyro. Gyro is set to Normal mode for now, and
here's the problem.
When I fire it up, it wants to spin counter-clockwise. (Yaw left). If I apply maximum
right rudder the tail rotor pitch goes to maximum, and the heli does not rotate left,
nor does it turn right. I can apply less than max right rudder and it will slightly want
to turn... or no right rudder and it really spins.
I've got the Gyro set to Normal mode (not avcs mode) for testing, and i can see that
the blad pitch is REALLY at maximum on the tail rotor... and yet... the heli still wants
to spin.
Any ideas how to correct this? I have a feeling I did "something wrong" but can't
figure out what... since at full RPM I figure the tail rotor should be pushing the boom
left (and hence making the heli yaw right or spin clockwise).
Thanks in advance.

I have a 601 in my Fury.
You might try setting the gyro in the linkage limit mode, this would take the gyro out of the loop and give you direct control of the servo. Then try to hover, if you have proper tail authority the problem is in the gyro set up. If the problem is still there it is linkage, or maybe the tail rotor blades are to small? It is not easy to hover this way, but you can get a quick idea of where the problem is. 20 years ago I taught my self to fly helis with out a gyro or even tail rotor mixing, not as much fun but it can be done.
I had a slightly simular problem with mine, I could get great control to the left, but sluggesh to the right. I just did not have the set up right. Works great now.
