I am flying a Century Hawk Pro but not very successfully right now.
I'm having trouble with the rudder not moving properly. When I begin to crank up the throttle, the machine starts swinging nose left, and I am unable to bring it back. I presume this is a gyro issue. I have installed the futaba gy401, but I'm not sure what to adjust.
Some help please???

i would check to make sure you dont have the rudder channel or gyro reversed. you will have the torque effect until the tail rotor comes up to effective rpm, however it should be correctable. does it spin worse when you try to counter?

Thanks. These tips look like they should take some of the mystery out of setting up the gyro.
I also found out that my problem with the lack of tail control rested mainly (but not entirely) with the fact that the torque tube drive has a tendency to come loose so I have to check this regularly, but I can't wait to get back to my machine and try some of the new setup techniques shown. Thanks again
