I was running with -3 at low stick, about +5 at mid stick, and +10 at high stick. It tipped over when the collective was all the way down, so it was at -3. I think that it was at just the right RPM to allow for a tip over, but not enough to counter it or stick it to the ground. Like you said, it's just parts. It's not like I've got to piece and glue together a bunch of toothpicks to get her back in the air . Besides, I've got my CX2 and MCX still flyable in the meantime (the 400 suffered a crash due to loss of tail control and is still down. Too many projects, airplanes and helis alike). If all else fails, I've got a Lego police helicopter to play with and make helicopter sounds [sm=lol.gif].

I'm still not quite far enough along to worry to much about the tail wag. I'll get it before I start hovering. I don't have a mainstream gyro, it's a bit older. Probably about as old as the helicopter itself. It's an Arcamax PEG-S1 piezo gyro.

I should have her back in the air by next weekend.

Happy flying.
