What dual rate and exponential settings are you using on rudder?
Also what is your rudder ATV set at?

Are you sure its not a mechanical problem - does the rudder move freely if you disconnect it from the servo and just push it by hand? Also, I'm assuming that there is no binding on the rudder pushrod?

hello thanks for getsing back.

my dual rate is set at 100% and my EPA is 55%
and my gyro is 68 % .
the rudder dose move freely if you disconnect it from the servo and just push it by hand and there is no binding on the rudder pushrod.

thanks

Firedup

If you main rotor headspeed is too slow that can cause problems because the tail rotor will not spin fast enough (like 3D said). Is your headspeed around 1600 rpm when you hover? Do you use about 5 - 6 degrees of pitch to hover? If you are using more pitch, it probably means your headspeed is a little low.

Hope this helps

if your rotor speed is ok then try increasing the epa to 70%,i have the same radio and when i lower the rudder epa to about 50% i find that the rudder is not sensative enough
