Tail Servo not resetting. Noob help. Video supplied.
Here is the URL to the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWAY-ZmymAU
I think you guys who are mored experienced will know better than I do. I'm using a Detrum GY48V. It was doing the same thing before so I thought it was the gyro, but then I got this gyro and its still doing the same thing. I thought it was the Tail servo, so I changed it to an Align DS520 and it's still giving me the same problem!! What could be the problem?

RE: Tail Servo not resetting. Noob help. Video supplied.
Judging from the video it appears that the gyro is in heading hold mode. When you make a rudder stick input with the helicopter sitting on the bench, the gyro is expecting the helicopter to yaw (rotate). When it doesn't rotate, the gyro will hold the tail servo in that position until it detects the helicopter yawing. Try holding the helicopter in your hands and rotating it left and right. You should see the tail servo moving as the gyro attempts to correct the yaw.
