Default RE: tail problems

it would suggest that you don't have it properly set up!

have you set the gyro to 'rate' (50% or below gain setting on the Tx) then increased power gently? whichever way the tail/nose is moving you want to adjust the control rod to the opposite until you can take off with the nose into wind with little to no movement of the nose to either side!

then disconnect the power source to the heli and switch to 'HH/HL', re-connect power and adjust the gain up until it holds steady! (two schools of thought 1.wind it up until it starts 'hunting' (flicking back and forth) then back off until it stops & 2. increase the gain gradually until it holds steady!)

at this point it should be hunky-dory!

this is accepting you have a heading hold/lock gyro fitted and you have remote gain facility programmable from your Tx!

Happy flying!

p.s. check your reverse switches, if like me, you have a DX6i, make sure you have both the RUDD and GYRO switches in the same position!! (thanks JD!! ha ha)
