I recently bought an Axe cpv3. I have no experience with rc at all. My brother in-law tried to talk me out of buying it as a starter. but after flying (or trying) his and of course crashing a few times, I was hooked. I bought the heli and a collection of parts. I figured if I ended up spending $2oo in parts learning to fly I would break even, ( I was going to buy a simulator).
So I have a collection of broken parts, mostly blade grips, but no where near the $200 mark. So I feel victorious.
Mine seemed like yours, was all over the place but one day I was able to fly about 10 or 12 batteries worth of time and that got me past initial jitters and can now hover nicely .....but
I put on a 401 gyro and esc but I cannot get the gyro to quit with the flashing light...book says no tail input from receiver. All seems to be hooked up correctly. Had my brother in-law help me switch it over with the connections and he is a rc junky..he's got stuff from 25 years ago. Any way, I have to lean on the left stick and provide constant right rudder. i can fly it fine but a pain and not how it is supposed to work. Adjusted 1 by 1 the settings and could never get any change in the turning. So finally took it off and back to stock and low and behold I have the same issue, tail wants to go to the right. Tried trimming but full trim same exact issue...went thru all the settings in the 3in1 and no change. A little frustrating so how does a guy know if the 3in1 is actually working or the gyro for that matter? Does the gy401 even work with the stock radio? It seems the directions talk about several settings that are not on my radio..
It flies the same with the gyro hooked up or not now....

So any idea's on the 401 and the stock 6 channel Futuba that comes with the Cpv3.
