Default RE: Possible Gyro Defect ?

Okay heres the deal, the problem was NOT the Gyro, and Not the tail rotor Servo. I took the heli out again to fly it and as soon as I started it up, the tail control was gone, I noticed that the tail rotor RPM would slow down everytime I gave a control input to the tail, and just as I figured the tail's drive train came loose and the heli was at the mercy of the main rotor's tourqe, If I hold the main rotor in my hand I can turn the tail rotor with almost no resistance. so now im going to tare down the tail section, I guess it was just a coincidence that it happened after 5 - 6 minutes everytime until the loose screw just gave out and came completely loose.
