Default RE: Tail going counter-clock -- servo is already maxed out

Yes, I do believe it is at zero pitch in its idle state. I have the stock gyro. I tried both norm & rev tonight. In one mode she goes into massive tailspins so I switched it back. I tried various gains on the gyro also. I don't think it's a gyro problem after trying all that.

1) Tail rotor is spinning in the proper direction.
2) I tried various belt tensions
3) Tail blades are on the correct way.
4) I even tried a brand new tail shaft tonight.
5) If I move the servo forward anymore and give it more pitch it will pretty much fix the problem BUT, If I give it rull right tail input, it will strip out the servo because it's then forced to pull the linkage more than it can. I already put a new esky servo on it yesterday. Hate to ruin this one also.
6) The linkage is not binding on anything.
7) I set the trim all the way to the right, then I gave it full right input on the stick and then move the servo as far ahead as it would go to the point just before she would start to skip teeth inside the servo.

Guys- I can't think of anything else. This isn't even at full head speed either. She starts to rotate clockwise even before liftoff. I'm forced to give it input almost from the get go.

Any further ideas?
Thank you.
