I have been into helis for a while, and one day i came across a kid on craigslist who had this blade 400, and he traded it for my cp pro...i didnt think it was a bad deal.

well he had mis-matched servos so i went out and got 3 JR DS287MG on cyclic, and left the DS75H on the rudder. now im pretty sure i have everything connected right but since i cant see the aile/elev/etc marks on the rx without having to take it out im not 100%.

the problem is everything on cyclic is reversed, and the tail slider on rudder creeps to the right till it stops...and i checked the DX6i to the manual and the settings are all right..ideas? i think i have cyclic servos messed up

is there any chance the JR servos run in the opposite direction from the stock, and they need to be reversed in the tx?

That sounds like it.

Just reverse in the servo rev function of your radio. Not sure but, you may need to reverse you swash mix also. If it is in + then make it -, and vice-versa, if you need to.

Are you still with the stock gyro? That could be your problem, right off the bat, but make sure you dont move the heli AT ALL when you're plugging it in, until the gyro initializes. See if that works. Sometimes, it takes me a few tries to get a good start up, as my gyro (JR770) is very sensitive during the initializing process. Any movement at all will require retrying.

Hope that helps! Let us know.

The less a man makes a clarative statement, the less likely he is to look like a fool in retrospect.

So I should reverse the direction of the servos first, and if that doesn't fix it then change the swash mix?

And next time I'll make sure the heli doesn't move when the gyro is starting up. I am still using the stock one, do you have and affordable suggestions to upgrade the tail servo and gyro?
