Re: gyro question

I donno about that heli, but maybe check the rudder trim. Maybe it should be centered when you turn the thing on.

Re: gyro question

Could be the gain, make sure its turned off. There might be a switch for this...the Gyro likes to be in Heading Hold mode when first powered up.

I dont know the radio you have but find the switch and make sure the remote gain is off.

Rudder trim? this shouldnt bother the gyro as such...the only time you would adjust this is by hovering and seeing which way the tail goes...if its still then all is well....if there is movement you would land and adust the linkage a tad....go hover and repeat the procedure till its good.

Re: gyro question

Make sure throttle is all the way down, also make sure throttle trim is all the way down. i had this problem with my honeybee. It may be a safety cut off or something.
