Hi
I have a FP MS HORNET.
I am not a Heli flyer and this is my first model.
When I take off the model starts spinning anti-clockwise. I have held the model in my hand and started it up. I then span it to feel the gyro working. I also tested my ruder direction. All was OK! and working right. I think that the tail is not giving enough power to conter-act the tork!. I have roughly 30mm of pitch in the tail blades. I did this useing the servo horn!
Can any one help?
Thanks
Craig

Sometimes the tail rotor motor gear slips and acts like it is working but the gear slipping doesn't turn the blade fast enough. If you carefully add a drop of cyanoacrylate to the shaft and push the gear over it, the gear will stop slipping. Something to try first.
