ESky Huney Bee 2 tail rotor trim problem
Well ive gotten some basic flight time with the Helli witout alot of new problems and after alot of advise im up and hovering. The only problem im having is that when im hovering im having to put full right trim and I have to hold the stick to the right to keep it heading straight. How should I adjust the onboard gyro to adjust for this? The instructions are not very clear as to which way does what. Ill try to adjust it a little at a time till I have it right, but if this doesnt work what should I do?

RE: ESky Huney Bee 2 tail rotor trim problem
If the tails doesn't wag (oscillate) in flight, try add more "proportion" adjustment because you don't have enough tail power to counteract the rotor head torques that want to turn the body to the opposite direction of the rotor revolution. Looking from the top, the head turn clockwise, so the body wants to turn to the left, and the gyro tells the ruddermotor to spin more and push the nose to the right. If you give all gain and proprotion and still need more right, perhaps the tail motor is defective.
Don't forget to use the rudder trim first because this may be the only adjustment you need!
