Well where Do i start, I have a second hand hirobo shuttle plus and love the thing and am just learning to fly it. Just got back from my second trip out with it and only took one tank of fuel with me (kinda wish i had taken more as it got it in the air lol, but then i would have risked the 'one more go' error) anyway as i said only just started and only the 3rd time i have ever taken her out (been on a sim loads though) and got her in the air and at first struggled to keep her from going left and back all the time, but nearing the end of the tank i got her in the air and keept here hovering even if it was a little wobbly. now for the problem, i have rebuilt this from scratch to make sure it was all ok and for me to learn how it all fits together and she has a csm180 gyro, however when i start to push the collective up she turns to the left and i have to compensate with the rudder, should this do that? i think its down to the revo mixing not being setup but am not sure how to do it, its a JR x8310 radio. it was not such a problem today though as i learnt to compensate for it on the sticks but it would be nice if i knew how to set this up correctly

nfz300zx,
I'm not personally familiar with your gyro, however, research on the web indicates this gyro is NOT a heading hold gyro. Many folks on the web highly suggest revo mixing for use with this gyro.

Do yourself a favor, get a 401 and be done with your tail worries, you can use it on a better helicopter if you get hooked and stay with the hobby.
