Dragonfly tail rotor question?
[&:] Can anyone tell me if the tail rotor is supposed to stop when left rudder on the tx is applied? When the stick is moved to the right the rotor spins up fine, and when the tail of the heli is jerked to the right the gyro spins up the rotor just fine. Is the rotor not supposed to move when the rudder stick on the tx is moved left?[sm=confused.gif]

RE: Dragonfly tail rotor question?
edpet23,
This is how the helicopter yaws (spins) to the left. By reducing power to the tail rotor, the copter yaws left by the torque of the main rotor.
When you spin right, extra power is applied to the tail rotor to compenstate the main rotor torque and spin the copter right.
Your copter seems to be working just fine.
