Hi,

After lots of abuse (I learnt on this heli) the gyro developed a dodgy wire so would sometime work and sometime wouldn't so I replaced the gyro and servo with the Align GP750 Head Lock Gyro and DS520 servo.

My problem is that I can't get it working properly the tail now so sluggish. I have checked for binding, I have checked I have the setting correct i.e. right servo phase, the delay set to "red" and I can't get the tail to look after it self properly.

On the ground everything looks okay, the servo moves in accordance with the transmitter and the heading hold. However when you get it into a hover and then do a full climb out the heli pirouttes. Equally if I increase the gain to 100% I still can't make it work.

What have I missed? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Might need a new gyro

Align gyro? Crash? Broken wire? Suspect more is wrong with gyro. Gyros don't survive crashes too well. Time to invest in a second gyro. Logictech 2100 with servo, is real good. About $100 USD.

If you read closely he has replaced the gyro and servo!
