You shouldnt have to wait 6 to 10 seconds for the gyro...explain your situation in more detail, little confused. Sounds like when you spool up or plug in your pack, you can't get the blades to stop spinning?

definately more info,but it sounds like you need to re-set your tail blade pitch so the heli holds a steady attitude with rudder stick at neutral.

you will need to re-set up yout gyro/tail servo from scratch,since you removed the boom

what gyro?and do you do a rate mode set up?

filling out your profile really helps in situations like this.and if this is an e-sky belt cp,post on the e-sky forum,you will get tons of help from guys that own THAT heli

First, you should fix everything that and check the setup before you test fly. Your post is difficult to follow, so it's hard to give you guidance, but it sound like you gyro's not setup correctly. You might fill us in on what Heli and gyro you're using. Also in the meantime this link may help with the learning curve.

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter.

Not sure nut it sounds like the switch on the gyro is reversed. There should be a direction switch for the servo to tell it in what direction to move. If it is reversed you will go into a death spin on the ground. when the gyro compensates for yaw movement with the servo reversed, it is trying to compensate even more by moving the servo even farther in the wrong direction.

With out spooling up the heli, move your heli by hand in the yaw axis and watch for the tail blades to to pitch against the direction the tail was moved.

If I hadnt bought my house I would have so much more heli stuff right now. Damn! Hind sight is 20/20

I agree with michaelinpr, "sounds like the gyro is reversed".

also double check you have the belt twisted the right way(should have 1 twist),or there is NOT a double twist in the belt.the tail blades are supposed to spin up into the main blades,or if you are looking at the tail blades from the side of the heli they spin counter clockwise

sounds like the belt or gyro. I wouldn't think the gyro got reversed in the crash, but if belt driven, those little things can get confusing to redo.

i tried to hit my gryo off on my controller the heli handled just fine couldnt fly though i was to scared to fly with it off.yes i hit the switch backwards on the gyro when i couldnt figure out what was wrong i fliped it back though rite after.no my belt looked good by the way it had one twist in it im putting on a new one and going to purchase a new gyro ,my hobby store said thats what is most likley wrong.i called them over the phone though im going in this sunday for a visual look so they can see what i mean.i do not fly upside down yet cant firgure out how to i got a flight simulator(g4.5) though, im going to get a centrey gyro dont now how good it works going to buy it still the hobby store has one for 130 dollers but i dont know what kind it is.it is pointless to buy a 130$ gyro when the heli is only 90 days old and cost 180$ new.ps DONT BUY A HELI FROM BANANA HOBBY!TRUST ME.

+1 on the belt.
More than likely its twisted the wrong direction, and that is making your tailbaldes turn in the opposite direction.
