Default Hi Brett

On take off it is normal for you to have to watch the tail very closely and help the tail a little until the helicopter is actually flying. Then let the gyro take over!

Once in the air the tail should hold very well. If you find it is yawing.
A click or 2 of rudder trim should fix it. Take care that the tail drift is not pilot induced buy you
inadvertently giving it rudder when moving the collective! I had that problem at first!

Once on the ground it is normal for the tail to loose it a bit as you power down the helicopter. There is a lot of drag when you shut the power off. the heli is pretty light and the skids are slippery.

Hope this helps.
Ron
