Default Falcon 40

Hi everyone,

I fly airplanes, drive cars and boats (beginner to intermediate) on those. I bought a Falcon 40 from a friend in hope of "well rounding" my RC experience. I have followed the directions to a tee. I start the helicopter up and the thing wants to spin clockwise, therefore I input rudder to the left and the tail rotor will not spin therefore I can't stop the rotation. It work perfect when the stick is corrected to the right. The tail rotor spins and everything.

So the problem is that I get no tailrotor movement when the stick is pushed to the left. I do get movement when it's pushed to the right. So if I were to try and lift the thing off the ground it would just spin.

What little I know is that the gyro might be bad. I guessing at this point.

Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
