I recently rebuilt after a crash but the tail blades are turning the wrong direction. The main rotors and tail rotors are spinning clockwise, which has the tail spinning its trailing edge forward. I've tried putting in other gears with the bearing pre-installed, yet the problem persists. I did not take the tail rotors off or take the paddles off the booms on the main rotor.

Did you mess with the belt that drives the tail at all? If you reinstalled the wrong way it would spin your tail incorrectly.

Yep, it's easy to fix, you've just got a twist in the belt.

Thanks for the quick replies. I took the belt out and re-installed and now everything works great. About to fire her up inside and see if everything else I've done works fine.
