Default RE: Gyro, Tail Motor Question

It is the one in my profile. It is a Heli-Max Axe CP that has had several flights some just up and down and a few hovering flights. It has a new GWS RXC tail motor that was taken out of the EDF 40 from GWS. The current gyro in it is a Century Rate gyro. The tail esc is a Great Planes Electrifly C-12 micro ESC. The main ESC is a GWS ICS480.

The only thing that I can think of right now is that the blades are so out of balance that they are causeing a huge amount of drag and therefore is causeing the Heli to spin to the Left and that the thrust from the tail rotor is not able to overcome the torque of the main rotor blades.

I hope that helps you and I will gladly accept any help that you can provide.

Thanks
Tom
