| Re: death of a raptor, WHY? Hi, Im back, sorry to hear that, I was having some tail "gyro" lock a couple of weeks ago, I almost end the same as you, but suddenly I gain control back, I landed inmediately and checked everything, nothing was wrong, cables,signal, RX, TX everything OK, after hours of deliberation I found that the problem was my gyro initialization method, I have a GY401 and your TX MUST be ON BEFORE you turn on your model, I did it this way everytime, but sometimes when the engine did not start due a false glowplug contact, I turned everything off to save batteries, and then unexpectely I turned the model BEFORE the TX.
I good check for this is when you start to hover your tail reponds fine, it seems thats everything is ok, but do not, apply full power suddenly and check if your bird holds the tail, it should, if not, the gyro is not working fine and a lock is just around the corner.
