Gyro Problems

1. In normal mode I have it set at Normal Mode 15% any higher and my servo horn starts to get Jittery!! Im trying to get my Neutral Hover Position, on take off the nose goes to the left so I have been shortening the long control rod to make it give right rudder at neutral. I seem to have offset the throw quite a bit already and seems like it still wants to go nose to the left. Do I keep offsetting?

2. In Heading Hold mode I have it set at 60% and the tail still jitters left to right, right to left. Do I keep decreasing???

Needle Valve/ Idle Screw

1. When I squeeze my fuel line going into engine takes about 9 seconds for the engine to die out, seems the rpm revs for more then 5 seconds indicating rich mixture? Does the main needle affect this as I put 5 tanks through the heli and if I put my finger on the engine I can hold for at least 6 seconds. My idle screw is already to the lean side at about 50 degrees, only 40 more degrees till full lean. Do I lean it some more?

During break in on my 4th tank the rpm suddenly increased, I take this as a normal sign of the engine breaking in?

Try and watch the Finless Bob vids on 401 Gyro setup.

Whenyour gyro is in normal mode use the trim to adjust for the left turn. In heading mode sounds like you need to decrease the gain.

My problem was the flight neutral position in normal mode, like how we did with the raptors. Nose going to the left but my pitch slider is getting quite close to the boom side from my adjusting and its still going left.
