Default Futaba Buddy box problem

Hi, Using 2 Futaba Skysport 6 transmitters. One as master and the other as a buddy box. Have a Futaba GYA 350 gyro on the rudder, used for takeoff only. System works fine when controlled from the master xmtr but when control is given to the buddy box and channel 5 switch is activated, rudder drifts to the left and locks up. It returns to neutral when channel 5 switch is de-activated. Switch on gyro is set to "elevator". "C" gain is set at 100 and "G" gain is set at 125. Any ideas to correct this problem will be appreciated. Thanks, Henry

Make sure the trim on the buddy box is set just like the master.

The problem is that there is no trim control on channel 5, and the student transmitter has a slightly-different setting for center on that channel than the master transmitter. The only way to get them to match would be to send them both to the service center to have them calibrated together.
