OK, Ive got an Axe Cp thta Ive upgrdaed the main motor to brushless with a 25amp ESC, also I put a GY240 gyro with a C-12 ESC for my tail. My main works good but something is still wrong with my tail, Ive followed all instructions with both the tail esc and the gyro, but still even with AVCS turned off or on as I get light on the ground it wants to drift right, Ive tried turning up the gain til it gets twitchy, but will still drift. My 3in 1 died and thats why I decided to go this direction, has anyone has these issues or have any ideas, Im at my wits end, thanks in advance for any help.........Brandon

Do you arm your gyro on the ground? I have read that when you arm a HH gyro with the heli pointing in a certain direction then move the heli, it will try to drift back to the original heading. Just a thought

Well, I took it up to the local hobby store and found out that since I did completely away with my 3in1 I need a mixer also, so, the heli expert is working on it for me for a few days, he's gonna try putting it a mixer, if that dont work he just gonna put in a DX6i radio sonce it'll do all the mixing for me through the radio. Ill update when I get it back and post how it does. Thanks for the input.

Have you pushed the trim for the tail over to the left? Sounds like the gyro is sensing a request to rotate nose right.
