| There are two sense or direction issues to check. Both were mentioned in separate posts, above. However, I thought i'd mention how to check both of these. If you are experienced, and have already done this, then sorry for being simplistic.
First, you need to make sure that a rightward rudder stick input gives a rightward tail blade deflection. There are a variety of ways to look at the tail, but what i do is put the tail blades vertical, and look at the forward (trailing) edge of the upward pointing blade. The forward edge of that blade should deflect in the same direction as the stick deflection. If not, then you need to reverse the rudder channel.
The other thing to check is gyro sense. With the heli and receiver turned on (and gyro connected), rotate the heli rightward. Does the tail respond with a leftward tail blade input? If not, then you need to reverse the gyro sense direction.
If both rudder and gyro sense are correct, the problem lies elsewhere. These are the first things to check, however. And of course, as the previous post suggests, the tail needs to be spinning in the correct direction before you check anything else.
