Hey guys, New here, Just got a 2nd hand mcpx and going over it all and tweaking things got it to fly pretty well, except I have to give constant rudder or it will piro. Is there a way to adjust the strength of the tail? Like on the HBv2 where you adjust the proportional pots?

Just had a thought, Do you use rudder trim? I know on other FBL helis you dont
Thanks Gav

I have stretched the tail a few centimers

Just put a new tail. Have it from the smallest trainings gear. And cut it to the right size. When im at home i will measer it for you

It may be a weak tail...but there are other causes too

The tail rotor may be bent out of shape...that would decrease tail hold

If the wire harness is inside the tail boom, it's most likely the stock tail boom length...BLH3602L is the complete unit in the extended length, and will improve tail authority quite a bit

Decreasing pitch servo travel will help tail authority as well

Or it may be i didnt clear old model properly first. Discoved i had 11 clicks of rudder trim. Centred it and nw its sweet.
