e-Ikarus Piccolo-Eco 8/16 > Eco spins counter clockwise

When i throttle up quickly my eco turns counter clockwise quite quickly like the gyro (gy401)/tail can't keep up.

I checked that I have full range of movement and the Gyro is AVCS mode. I'm using a HS-85BB for the servo (tail mounted). I don't have any revo mixing or anything like that setup. I've tried changing the 'delay' but that didn't seem to have any effect.

Any ideas what to do about it this? it's quite a shock when all of a sudden you're facing the complete opposite direction would simply switching to a digital servo help? if so, what model would you guys recommend?

Thanks!

Try increasing your gyro gain, and if necessary move the rudder linkage in on the servo arm (ie more electronic gain, less mechanical gain).

correct gyro direction

Make sure your gyro is set up correctly. It might be reversed from what you describe. Here's what I do:

Helicopter tail in, tail blades at 12 and 6 o'clock,

Fold the top tail blade so its pointing forward,

Left rudder stick will make the top blade point left, right stick will point it right,

Lightly grasp the tail rotor hub so you can feel the deflection of the top blade,

Quickly jerk the tail to the left, the blade should deflect left,

Jerk it to the right, it should deflect right.

If it doesn't follow this pattern, reverse the gyro and/or rudder until you get the correct combo.
