Ok i had an unlucky crash a while back with my Raptor V1 and ever since i put it back together the tail keeps flickin around to the right, i can still fly it but the tail keeps flickin, so i played with the gyro and then ended up fittin a new one which didn't make any difference. Since this ive moved on to a different heli but i would like to get this problem solved anyone have any ideas?

Do you have good smooth control of the tail when things are not turning? I have seen pushrods kink just enough to make it rough, and not work right when turning, or the rod in the tail is just kinked enough to stick and not slide in and out propperly. I would check that first. There has to be something in the pushrod system hanging up when things are spinning. If it is not perfectly smooth when not running, replace what ever is the slightest bit sticky and you will probably solve the problem.

What gyro are you using?

This one. I dont think theres anything stiff in the tail but there is a couple of the guides missing for thr rod, ill have to double check and get back to u. Thanks.

O.k i checked it out and the linkage isnit stiff at all but the push rod is slighltly bowed

Is there enough flex in the pushrod that you are able to move the blades a bit? If they have any give in it from being bent, or from the missing guides, it will flex when under load and you will get a wandering in the tail. Need to put the missing guides on and try it again. The movement back there must be very clean so it moves freeley and no slop at all.
