Default Tail servo BIG problem

Hi all,
I just bought a walkera 60 and I seem to be having problems with the tail servo. go figure? anyways when I turn on the tx and plug in the battery the servo adjusts it self to neutral but I cannot get any range from it in one direction? It will travel extremely far in one way but not barely at all the other its not a binding problem cause it does it when the linkage is off to. the servo itself only travels reall one way and the ill put the gyro in the reverse direction and it will now travel fully the opposit way and not the other? any ideas this has been the 2nd servo it has happened with. is there anyway that you have to set up the gyro to "program" the servo to travel and if so how? also when its just sitting on but im not touching the sticks at all the servo will slowly creep itself to a maxed out one way position and then it doesnt move at all? can anyone help me with this it is very frustrating. thanks

it sounds like your radio needs it's end points re-adjusted.

Set your rudder channel's end points to 100%
Set your sub trim on the same channel to 0

take the servo horn off the gyro, then turn it on and initialize. Then put it back on.


Maybe it will help.
I'm not an expert yet at diagnostics.

Sorry to sound numb but what exactly do you mean when you say end points? on the radio I have you have to unlock certain dip switches to adjust say the gyro and the rudder, and how do I know if its set to 100% or 0% are those the 2 knobs on top of the tx? if so can you tell me how to adjust it properly? thanks for the help

Default RE: Tail servo BIG problem

Im using the walkera radio they sent me with the heli..7 ch. it says in the manual to unlock dip # 12 to adjust rudder and gyro so the v1 and v2 knobs they call it adjusts them v1 is the rudder but when I move the dial to 100 from 0 it doesnt do anything i can hear a slight movement from the servo but its so little that its almost not even worth mentioning. the problem as i said before is even when I have the servo neutral at a 90 degree angle it has very little movement in one direction if i reverse it it has very little movement in the other way but then it starts to dial itself out in one direction very slowly until all movement is gone in that direction. I hope you can understand my problem I have no idea about pit adjustments how to measure degrees of angles or the most important to me right now how to determine the so called end points and how those effect anything...i know this is a lot of info but frustration is getting the best of me when someone says "oh just adjust the bla bla bla" I have no idea how to do it. ive spent every night working on it for the better of 2 weeks. please help.
