Ok guys. I got this futaba 502 on the Protos, I fixed all the other
issues but this one. It still spins counter clock wise at about 1 Hz

Could I have too low a pitch curve? Throttle curve?
Or is this a Gyro. The damn gyro is so freaking complicated I dont know if I have it setup right. I had it reverse but it still spins CCW.
I turned the gain down. but no dice. I am SO close on this I can taste it. But I just cant get it to stop.

Thanks in Advance.

Might be a dumb question, but are you sure the gyro is working?

With the protos in throttle hold and the gyro is in HH mode and you move the helicopter around in the air
like you would with a toy tonka helicopter does the tail servo move?

When you move the rudder is the tail fins moving in the right directions?

Here is a nice trick to make sure the gyro is moving the tail in the right direction.

Have the heli on a table in either throttle hold or the motor disconnected.
Put the heli in HH mode.
Stand or sit behind your heli.
Arrange the tail blades so that they bend back towards you.
Hold the lower tail fin in your paw.
Now sharply move the helicopter Clockwise.
If the gyro is correct you should feel the lower tail blade follow the same direction as your hand.
If not you need to reverse the gyro.

POOR design

OK first of all thanks guys for helping.
But the problem was the same as before. The pin that goes through the
tail shaft and is supposed to lock up the pulley to the shaft stripped out again. I MADE a new PIN that fits the whole slot and then put in the slot then added a toothpick touch of CA. Hopefully this will fix it.
now i can figure out if I have the gyro working now.
