Hey Freaks,
I have my new Stratus 90 flying with a 601 gyro and noticed a slow tail drift while in inverted hover. I flipped it over and notice the same drift. What could cause this with a Heading Hold Gyro?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Vibration. Sensor is mounted where there is high frequency vibration.
Not enough foam between the sensor and the mounting plate
Mounting foam is too soft and lets the sensor wiggle too much
If using a strap around the sensor, it is too tight.

Those are a few things that can cause drift.

David,
Thanks for the quick response. I think I may have had the gyro strap on too tight. I'll fly again tomorrow and find out.
Regards,
