Belt CP gyro/servo combo..... - Page 2

You would need faster and better for just about any gyro

What I actually meant was moving the link toward the center of the servo, so it has less throw. This produces less movement on the tail pitch slider, so your piro rate goes down and the gyro isn't so likely to overshoot its target. It's been so long since I even saw stock Esky tail mechanics I can't remember if the bellcrank has multiple points for the link too... If it does, you can also move the link out a notch on the tail to produce more of the same effect.

Oh sorry for the misunderstanding.:o I think I will pick up another servo then and if that doesn't fix it then change that arm to adjust it a bit. Thanks for all the help! Won't be able to test it for a couple of days here due to weather..

Thanks for all the Help guys .. the new servo ( a Futaba s9650, bit pricey but it works and it was all the LHS had in stock.) and an increase of the gyro setting on my Dx6i from 55 to 65% and it is all kinds of stable in the tail now! I think I still need some tweaks on this heli but now it is at least flying like a heli and not some wild airborne creature!!! Thanks again!

Glad you got it sorted

That S9650 can make the helicopter feel a little tail heavy, but it's a good servo and you will have use for it long after the Belt CP is gone or upgraded into something unrecognizable. I have one doing a fine job on the tail of my HDX500 with an LTG-2100T.

I have a 9650 and LTG-2100T on my 450. Nothing but good things to say about it.
