protos 500 confused

[helihope]

ok i ahve checked every thing the head rotor is spinning the right way the tail rotor is working corectly but yet the heli still spins on the ground have tried reversing the gyro. checked the belt. looked at every thing but yet i cant get it to stop spinning any ideas please help....

[tcprogrammer]

I know you said the tail is working correctly, but just in case, I am going to ask this anyway. (1) are the tail blades rotating anti-clockwise so that they move up INTO the main rotor? (2) are the tail blades on facing the correct direction (leading edge toward the main rotor when it spins) ?

[alexf1852]

With an rx back plugged in, what happens when you move the tail to the heli's left? Do the tail blades turn in the opposite direction?

[JASON671]

with the tail looking at you, move the tail to the left, the pitch slider should move right. move the tail to the right the pitch slider should move left.

[helihope]

yes to all of you all that is the way it is or the way it is working

[JASON671]

we need to know more about your equipment being used like what gyro/servo raido...

[helihope]

spartan quark Gyro tail servo of JR3500g radio DX6I castle creations 75a.( BEC set to 6v out put) Esc, ds520 cyclic servos. zeppy 2650 20c 6s battery. stock motor... LIPOTECH......

[JASON671]

instead of reversing the gyro did you try reversing the rudder channel?

[helihope]

yes done it in side the remote and still the same im thinking about just putting on the gy401 gyro to see if that will fix it. if so i guess my spartan is jacked...

[JASON671]

i would set your rudder reverse to normal and reprogram your spartan again

[DannyvG]

how did you reverse your gyro? Did you reverse the gyro gain channel in your TX? Because thats not the way to do it.
Have you selected the proper midpoint signal for your rudder servo?

[whisperdancer]

Depending on the way you mount the gyro, you may have to reverse the tail servo channel on the TX, and reverse the gyro direction on the gyro configuration.

Assuming you are running the gyro on HH mode, you have the midstick position in the gyro config. I set mine with 8º at midstick, per manual.

OK thanks but im not a stupid i reversed the gyro per the programing of the gyro in the Lil red book.... the servo i am using is the default setting and yes i rechecked to make sure it was in the right one...

the gyro is mounted on the top of the bird just behind the tail boom housing....

was just making sure the obvious things wherent forgotten.
Guess the only thing left is replacing the gyro or the servo and see if that makes a difference.
Maybe you have something like revo-mixing turned on in your TX?
