Default Blade CP flight tracking?

The illustration below shows how my heli flies when I go into forward flight. The red line is the flight path and the heli is canted off to the side a little. Constant rudder/tail rotor pressure is needed to fly in a straight flight path as well. I have trimmed the rudder but it requires more or less depending upon throttle input. More throttle = rudder and vice versa. Is this normal or do I need a Gyro adjustment? If so how?

Default RE: Blade CP flight tracking?

External gyros usually correct that problem. But the only ones that seem to work with the Blade CP are by E-Flight. My Futaba GY401 doesn't do that on my Belt CP. You could try to increase the gain until the tail twitches back and forth after a rudder input. Then lower the gain just a bit.
