Default rudder servo moving when throtle up

when i put my radio in heli mode for my vpp and i go from center stick to full throtle the rudder will move right or left depending on which way i move the stick up or down. im guessing its thinking that i have a tail roter. i was wondering how do i stop this from happening. i have a futaba 8 channel and i have never really fulled around with the heli settings. also would the vpp over power my servo, because whenever i go from negative pith to positive pitch the prop sounds like its flatening and not engaginga to positive pitch. thanks will

It sounds like you have a mix set up on your Tx, rudder slaved to throttle .

As for the servo overpower, are you sure you have enough throw on the servo, that it's pulling the pitch full travel in both directions?

well i figured out the mixing on the rudder so that problem is solved. now when i go into negative pitch some times it works and other times it does not. i think its a mixture of things flex in the front of the fues and not enough travel in that direction. i ordered some 3mm depron and thats on the way, and when i get that im going to try to build the stiffest airframe possible, and i got some ideas floating in my head so well see. thanks for the feed back

Hey 3dnutt.

Dose your servo have at least 17oz of torque for the VVP?
