Ever since I installed my brushless motor, I've noticed that the helicopter will turn counter-clockwise whenever I apply throttle. I assume that I need to adjust the gain trimmer pot? If so, which way do I turn it?
I would recomend retuning your revo mix & gain. Turn your gain all of the way down and then tune the rev until the heli flies well, then adjust your gain up.
I tried this and it doesn't work. When I say the helicopter turns counter clockwise, its only for a brief moment. The copter always tries to center itself. If the gain is all the way down, it takes longer for the helicopter to react. If the gain is all the way up, the counter rotation still occurs, but the helicopter reacts a bit quicker. Could this be a sign that the tail motor is going?
hmmmm... do you mean that when you give full throttle or /pump the throttle/ the tail spins right and when you suddenly decrease throttle the tail will spin left? if that's it, and your using your stock transmitter and gyro, you can't do anything about it. if you have a computer radio, then you should use revo mixing. revo mixing in a computerized tx is different from the revo pot in the 3 in 1. revo mixing in a computerized tx will add right rudder instantly when you add throttle, so no imput is necessary from you if you set it up right. the revo pot in the 3 in 1 only takes care of the rudder-throttle mix during hover, so if you pump the collective, the rate gyro in the 3 in 1 will sense it but will be too late, then the tail has to spin up, this delay will cause the tail to swing to the right during sudden throttle increase. a programmable tx will mix in rudder the moment you increase throttle, thus there won't be any yawing that needs to be detected by the gyro and thus there will not be any delay.
