View Full Version : EF Gyros gone Bad??

I have been having a bad time with my shogun wanting to torque to the right (counter clockwise) more than usual.

I am on my second EF Micro Gyro. It reacts the way a Gyro is supposed to when I hold it in my hand and swing it left or right.

but this shogun wants to spin. My tail rotor is OK I think?

Belts/gear drive ok.

I also have an EF brushless ESC & motor. (not sure if motor is EF, but it is for the shogun.)

any thoughts??

I would say double check the direction of the gyro and tail servo, and if that's ok see if something's binding or limiting the travel of the tail rotor pitch system. I have the little 7 gram eflite gyro on my pixy zap and it works flawlessly.
Good luck!

the bottomm line of tails wanting to pull, is definately related to the belt & it's ability to drive the tail rotor efficiently.
that would be the lesson here
