Hi,

just looking for a bit of advice, got a raptor 30 v1 with a csm 360 gyro fitted.

i'm using this in heading hold mode on DX7 transmitter.

when i move the rudder stick to the left the tail moves as you would expect, but is does not hold in that position, it slowly moves full right all by itself...

when i move the rudder stick to the right it stays there rock solid until i move the rudder stick again

any ideas whats causing this

thanks alot

A few things can be causing it. First read the manual, it should say how to fix this, I'm sure it will tell you to increase your gain. Second, are you using any subtrim for the rudder? If so, remember to reset it everytime prior to turning on the receiver. Lastly, do not touch the heli or transmitter controls at all between turning on the power to the heli and the gyro initialization is complete. When the gyro is ready you should see the tail servo turn just a bit, then return to where it was rather quickly.
