I just recently bought a brushless main motor, esc, gyro, and esc(so I can go with all separates)for the tail. I am presently running a dual tail set up My questions are these: what exactly gets hooked up to what, and what gets unplugged?
I have it hooked up now but not sure if it is right and I am having some gyro issues. Is there a wire that is supposed to be unplugged from the one of the BEC's? If anyone has pictures or anything to add please post and help me out. Right now I am not getting any flying in so help is greatly appreciated.

Pitch,

I'm guessing you have a Blade CP Pro, you didn't mention what kind of heli or anything. If it's the Pro, yes you have to disable one of the BEC leads, check page 54 in your manual.

since you have all separates, basically you remove the red wire from the tail esc's rx plug. that will fix the 2 BEC problem.

btw, what kind of gyro problems are you having? they may not be related to having 2BECs, and fixing the wiring might not fix the problem. we can help better if you give us more details.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes it is a blade pro. The issue that I am having it that the tail is wagging quite a bit. I have already looked at the sensitivity and am presently trying to fix. But , I am starting to think that the problem may be the fact that the gyro is quicker and more responsive than the motors can give back.
I did find that in my dual tail set up one motor was burned out, so that in itself would cause some problems. Bought a new motor today so we will see if that solves the issue. But I do not think that I should have to change to a brushless or a DD just to use a gyro.
I will keep you posted as to my results.

you're right, that is exactly the problem. The gro is quicker than the tail can respond. In this case you will just want to turn your gyro down to the point where it doesn't wag =)

oh BTW when you replace one motor on the dual tails... you really ought to replace them both. Otherwise you are asking for trouble, and will likely burn out the good motor you just bought.

You probably already did, but also make sure that everything's balanced well. The more vibration the worse the wag because the gyro performance goes south quickly when the heli's out of balance. Tail wagging is just one thing that happens. The better the heli is balanced the higher you can turn the gain on the gyro without wag.
