tail trim
trex 450 se v2 jr770 gyro , dx6i rdio
my tail is mechanicaly centered, even travel both ways, blades straight, but in flight I have to add about 45 sub trim in the radio to keep tail from drifting to the right. i have about 63 gain set on the radio, any more and it wags. shouldn't the gyro adjust for the drift? or is it normal to add trim for the tail to adjust for rotor torque?

RE: tail trim
Sounds to me like it may be in Rate mode, not knowing much about your gyro I would look here first: http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=41692

RE: tail trim
that is what i just figured out, I have been flying in rate mode for over a year now, I have been pulling my hair out, wondering why the tail would never hold right.
thanks,
thanks,
