Did you try to turn the Gain pot counterclockwise? Mine twitched too after adjusting the trim pot, but when I reduced the gain, it stopped. Some batteries have a very small amount of twitch, but I have just let it go till next battery.
Lowering the gain will make the glitch go away. It's called tail wagging. High gain settings will cause the tail to wag.

Ok, thanks you guys I am encouraged by your words.

Tell me more about those trim pots on the 3-in-1 board. I am ready for more trial-and-error but any direction you guys can give me will help.

For example, I can move the gain pot all the way left and all the way right - it can only turn about 240 degrees. Thus, the halfway setting is at 3 o'clock and the slot is level.

I tried it all the way one and all the way the other way and in the middle - still twitching.

Ok, fine. But is there some combination of the pot settings that I need to look for? I want to eliminate the yaw AND the twitching! Is there a trick?

Also, is this a problem that can be the result of a bad connection (maybe weak solder on the tail motor wires going to the 3-in-1 board?


I am really anxious to get this nailed down! She was actually hovering with 'hands-off' the sticks for a few seconds, but the tail wag makes her crazy pretty quick. Once dialed in, I just KNOW I'll have a really good hover and THEN I can progress to circles!!!

THANKS for the help gang!!
