RE: HELICOPTER SPINS LEFT
What kind of Heli do you have? Is it Gas or Electric? Is it a fixed pitch or does it have collective? sound like your not getting the authority you need from the tail to counteract the torque.

RE: HELICOPTER SPINS LEFT
I'd agree with Flaps. The reversed gyro is the most common problem.
If the heli has a belt-drive tail, the tail rotor could be spinning the wrong direction. The blades could also be on the wrong direction; that can make some strange things happen. How are you checking the blade pitch? What is the pitch set at when the stick is neutral and heading hold off (if the gyro has it)?
