e-MS Composit Hornet > tail lets loose.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I have a v2 but have never been able to get it to fly. After about ten seconds hovering, the tail just lets loose. The gears are not loose on the rod and they all mesh. I tried it without the the gyro (csm 560) but it was the same. Has anyone heard of this happening? I would like to get it flying, but if I have to I will dump it and use the gear on something else if I can find something else that flys ok and is not a nightmare to build, set up and maintain.
Thanks.
Bob

On a Hornet, which tail is this?
If so, which gear is slipping?

If you don't use a gyro on the small heli's the tail spins like crazy. I tried to fly one time without a gyro and it didn't end up too good

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I tried to fly it without the gyro and it did the same thing. Hover for about 5 or 10 seconds then start pirouetting.
The tail gear is right up against the main gear as well. I just can't see why this is happening. You can make the gears skip but it takes a lot of force and I don't think there is that much force generated by the tail rotor.
I have a 401 gyro in another heli that I think I will try in this. You never know what might work.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		OK thanks. I have to put a few bits back on it anyway. What head speed should I have on it?
