Default Do the tailboom twitch!

Guys correct me if I'm wrong here please. The CX2 is back to its original glory, new shafts, new lower hub, new flybar. No vibrations at all she fully balanced. I'm finding all of a sudden now that while in hover my tail is twitchy. Not severe but enough that you notice it. Also while doing piroette's I can just scream while going full right rudder however it's like watching paint dry while going full left rudder. So I'm thinking I have some pot adjustment to do right? Or have I got a larger issue at hand? If I don't have the motors balanced correctly this could also be causing some of my lift issues as well. Right? Late night...feeling a little off my game. Thanks guys!

Yea, if it's stiff and twitchy, turn the gain down. You can leave the heli on while doing this particular adjustment. Tiniest amounts until it just goes away.

If You ever want the left turns to be as rigorous as the Right turns, You have to turn the pot down ridiculously low, but then You can't fly a straight path without the tail trying to catch up with the front; going all over the place, unless You do corrective inputs all the time.

I like the gyro working to make my flights more beautiful, and that means that My right spins are fast, and the left spins are noticeably, but not severely slower, that seems to give Me what I want.

If the gyro is too tight, it will also affect your left turning as well; it will take more stick and that gets Me into trouble running into walls.

Once You have Your preferrable style; You shouldn't have to ever touch the gyro again ( I did after replacing some weak motors).

Great thanks Gary, I do have the gain way down. Quite like it there seems to have the right balance. I did have to readjust the proportional pot but seems to be dialed in nicely now. I thought I was barking up the right tree.
