Default tail wagging problem

hello,
today i finally got my eco8 with jr410 hh gyro and stock motor and 8 cell 3000 nimh battery but i have a problem

in about a 4 foot high hover my tail is wagging about 5-6 inches back and forth what is the best way to solve this?

also with the stock motor and speed control what is the best setup?

Holy cow. How many places have you posted this same question?

You might want to consider the duplication of effort by other people answering your same question

Depending on the inherent stability of your setup, you may only need to reduce the gain of the gyro to make the system stable. Also, make sure there is no stiffness or looseness anywhere in your tail pitch mechanism.

There are rules here we all must abide by. Have you read them?
Among other things they indicate "NO MULTIPLE POSTINGS" - this rule would apply to you as well.

Hi Chris, i would try a few things, one, lower the gain a bit....two, make sure the tail control rod is really smooth...and three, try a different servo; but before you do, what servo are you using? The futaba 9253? If you're using a standard analog, try getting a high speed digital, that will make a huge difference. Hopy you fix it.
