Default how to set up tail servo?

seems I always have a problem setting up my tail servo, I plug everything up and the gyro starts doing it's thing, I think I have the servo centered and it's always off.... anyone have a good way of finding center for the servo?

thanks....

oh yeah, we're talking t-rex here..

plug the tail servo directly into the receiver to find center.

do'oh!!! that's what I figured, but I didn't want to do that, I just tucked the swarm of wires away all nice and neat... I'll hook it to another reciever and that should do it... thanks man!

its not the only way to center the tail servo but its the easiest. you can also find center by turning the gain on the gyro to the lowest setting and in rate mode.

I slapped the servo into the reciever of another t-rex that had the wires exposed, I'm all set now I hope. It's centered and the tail is recentered so I should be better, I was waaaaaay off... that kinda could explain the insane right tail and no left tail

thanks again for the help...
