Trex 450L - Microbeast - rudder concern

[dsevern]

First off... total noob, here.

I just finished my build and haven't actually flow this yet, as I still have a few more details to attend to, but I was checking things out and noticed this.

With hold switch turned off, if I push the rudder stick to the right and release it letting it return to center, the tail blades return, slightly. If I push the stick to the left and release it, letting it return to center, the tail blades stay put.

Here's a video to better show the behavior:


Is this normal/expected? If so, why?

I checked my Rudder Servo Limit setup, twice, to make sure I wasn't pushing the travel to far that I was getting a "spring" effect in the pushrod.

Also, I've noticed that if I have hold switch enabled, and I push the rudder stick to the right and release it letting it return to center, the blades stay where they are. If I push to the left they move and if I release the stick, they stay put. Having hold switch enabled seems to change the behavior. Any idea why?

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance/education!

The way it's moving is normal, stays to one side cause the gyro isn't seeing any movement so it's not correcting. Pick the heli up and twist it back n forth and you'll see it moving the slider.

Looks like you have more travel to the left than right and that's why you're getting bounce back on one side and not the other. If the tail servo is mounted on the boom just slide it to give you a little more travel to the right, then redo your endpoints.

Normal for it to creep back towards center a little once you stop giving full rudder input but it should creep back the same amount in both directions.
