Just a quick Question?

[stevef12005]

ok after deleting all the settings & trying to setup everything again also have nearly every finless video now downloaded,
why does my heli keep spinning around anticlockwise even thought i have tried to set up the gyro & the servos the same as finless video

My heli is the Dragonus II if this helps & Futaba 6EXH

Try reversing the tail servo sounds like it's going the wrong way:thumbup:

Hi thanks, even though i have done what it says in the video that when i put in right stick the slider move inwards towards the boom, so by that way the servo seems to be moving in the right way?.

OK. Couple of things to check. I'm not familiar with the Dragonus Heli, so I'll just be throwing out some basics.

#1 When the main blades spin, the forward most tail rotor blade should be spinning up into the Main rotor downwash.

#2. Make sure the tail blades are in the blade holders so that the leading edges (rounded edge) of the tail blades are "leading".

#3 Make sure your gyro is pushing the servo the correct direction. Just because it responds properly to radio input doesn't mean the gyro is pushing the right direction to correct a spin. In fact, an uncontrollable CCW spin is usually a pretty good indicator of a reversed gyro. After the gyro initializes, grab the tail of the heli and move it to the right (nose left). If the gyro is set properly, it should cause the slider to move in towards the boom. If it pushes the slider towards the rotor, just change the Norm/Rev switch on the gyro.

Hope this helps.

OK i think i have sorted it, it seem to be gyro swicth even thought i had not move it, if you have a heading hold gyro are you aloud to use trim inputs or do you have to leave this at zero

thanks steve

What type of gyro are we talking about?

Usually on something like the GY-401 you should set your tail trim with heading hold off. Then make sure your heading hold trim settings match your non-heading hold trim. That's how the gyro initializes itself to neutral rudder.

Something like a Telebee or the Align RCE-500x Piezo gyros however require the Trim or subtrim adjustment to tune out the creep tendency of the gyro.

Hi & thanks it is the telebee so i will have a play with it today & see if i can sort things out
thanks again steve

Check out the Telebee setup vid in Finless' Tech room for the HDX300.
