Kyle,
That was a great video for information. It looks like everything is balanced well but the tail isn't set mechanically centered for trim when ready to fly. Vic told me a while back to start with that and he was spot on. Don't mess with the rate mode for flying, leave that for first adjusting the center and end points on the tail slider. After that stay in HH. Center your rudder trim and spool it up so it's light on the skids and see which way the tail goes. Then slider the servo on the boom either forward or revers until you get it perfect. This can take several spool ups to get it right. Don't use the trim on your radio to center the tail in the air, get it mechanically centered.
Blessings,
Jay
IT'S NORMAL FOR THE RUDDER SERVO TO DRIFT LIKE WHEN HE MOVED IT TO THE LEFT...THAT'S PART OF THE HHG/AVCS DOING ITS JOB....DUNNO WHY IT DOES THAT. ALSO, TURN THE TX GAIN TO 25% AS RECOMMENDED TO START...MINE RUNS AT 31% TO A TIGHT TAIL WITHOUT WAGS...IT'S CLOSE TO WAGGING AND DOES IT SOMETIMES IF I FLIP THE RUDDER STICK QUICKLY. Just my $.02 worth.
