Re: Nose to the left!!

What pitch range do you have on the main blades? I would check the pitch range and throttle settings....too much pitch....slightly lower revs....might cause a torque issue......dunno....struggling to think.

Keep the helis tail linkage set up as per the book....you know thats ok then....unplug the gyro and plug the tail servo directly into the tail channel....making sure the servo is centered.....then go left and right making sure the servo doesnt 'bind'.....make sure its still centered....then unplug and plug the gyro back into the system.

Doing these two things will give you a 'base line' from which to work on.

I dont know the radio..is it computer type? if its an older type it might only use non 'heading hold' gyros.

The gyro I dont know either....DR? Dual Rate? is there a 'spare' lead? this would plug into the rate socket on your reciever.....the gain can then be adjusted at the flick of a switch.

It might be a good idea to contact Futaba in the USA and just ask a few questions.....likewise....Century would be worth a call.
