Hey fellas....
Im just having a couple problems with my gyro/tail servo(GY401/s9254) and tx (DX-7).
This first video shows my tail servo. Sometimes when i move it, it sticks. While in Rate mode it returns to center. I dont know if im making something out of nothing... but while in HH mode while the tail is not moving with no input other than stick inputs... shouldnt the servo ALWAYS re-center itself? Also the servo seems to make some strange jumpy moves.Almost like it is sticking.....

The second video shows me going through the modes on my DX-7. Normal, ST 1, ST 2. Between ST 1 and ST 2, the Aileron gets funky. I dont know how to fix it. Ive adjusted the servo travel in modes Normal and st1. Pitch curves on ST 1 and ST 2 are both the same. 11 seconds is when i switch from st-1 to st-2

Im going to go back and watch Jermo's video on how to setup a DX-7 again to see if i missed anything. o. But if anyone has any ides off the top of theyre head i would appreciate the help. After this im going to do another head and tail linkage check.. measure everything again...make sure all screws are tight. Then im gonna program the ESC then i should be ready for a test flight after a tracking and balance :) Im psyched.. this is the first heli i've put together and it has been a ton of fun and a huge learning experience.
