e-MS Composit Hornet > What am I doing wrong?

Gentelman, I need your experties.
I can't get the tail to work right. I spool up and the heli wants to spin counter clock. I have to move the throtle stick almost all the way to the right to compensate for the torque. Then all of a sudden the the whole heli spins counter clockwise. I have a piccolo gyro and a futaba radio.
I have followed all the advise given for this heli all the gyro settings and the whole nine yards, and nothing.

I have been working on this heli for two weeks now. I am getting pretty frustrated.

I appreciate any imput.

Thanks

Hello

I try to help you.
First put the gain on the gyro to the middle.
Look in your transmitter that REVO MIX is disabled.
Start the heli again.If it turns again switch the revers swith on the gyro t o the other side.Reconect the baterys and try again.
If you make adjustments on the gain of the gyro make only very small moves.

Best Regards

Well, I set the gyro gain to the middle and worked both more and less gain,but it is still doing the same.
I am about to give up on this little heli. The thing is that I've already put lots of money into it.

Slip or vibes...

Use a HS50 (or better) with fast smooth action, check the fragile servo gears are not slipping or broken.
Watch the tail servo, is it jumping about? The heli should be vibe free and silky smooth, any buzzing or oscillations will drive your gyro to malfunction.
Check for tail gear slip, hold head still and then turn the tail moderately, the conical gear may give way under load. Look for tail hub slip on the short tail drive shaft.

Try getting a steady tail in 'standard rate mode' with REVO mix enabled. If you can't lock the tail in rate mode then you'll have little chance with HH.

Don't give up, I have been through a few weeks locking the tail down. It's could be a combination of factors conspiring against you. When everything is smooth the Hornet is a lovely flyer but learning the setup can be a bi***. Have a look round my tips page and check the links to other useful sites, might just help to find that fix.

Do you have enough offset deflection in your tail blades (and in the correct direction) to counter the main rotor torque without running out of servo throw etc.?

sounds like the gyro is going in reverse

Thank you all for all your input.

I finally was able to get my hornet to fly. Man! What a great heli this is. The problem was with this gyro -don't know exactly what it is wrong with it, but as soon as I replaced it with another gyro -the walkera- she began to fly just fine. I love the precision and responsiveness it has. However, I am still puzzeled with the "malfuction" of the other gyro. I believe it is a pretty good one. Anyhow, I'll kep experimenting.

It's not a hobby it is a passion!
