swaying tail?

[stevenlogin]

Anyone know a solution to this problem? After fixing my heli from a suggestion in my last post another problem came. When I flew my heli yesterday. The heli's tail was swaying to the right and left, not wagging. It was also a calm day so there was no wind and the head locking is not as crisp as before. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.:noteworthy:noteworthy:noteworthy:noteworthy: noteworthy

have you tried adjusting the gyro gain? is there some binding in the tail? slop in the tail?

have you tried adjusting the gyro gain? is there some binding in the tail? slop in the tail?Yes i tried adjusting the gyro but it didnt do any differnce except make the tail wag when you yaw to the sides and there is no slop or binding in the tail.

did you check to make sure the tail blades are on all the way? i experienced this one time, and it turned out that one of the tail blades had come half off because the aluminum hub that holds the blades had stripped.

what do u mean by not on all the way?

Nevermind my friend told me. I should go check that. Thx for your help.

no problem, i hope its something simple like that. really easy to replace the aluminum hub the the blades plug in to. i was in the middle of flying when all of the sudden, the tail was out of control. I just swayed no matter what i did, i almost crashed it because one of the tail blades actually came half way off. if you look closely at the tail rotor's shaft, you will see a little silver thing that the tail blade grips are connected to. that silver aluminum piece has threads on the inside, and they stripped in mid flight for me. (luckily i didnt crash, but it was close!)
