e-Robbe Eolo > Tail problems

Hi,

I've just about got my eolo spirit pro flying the way I want having put the robbe belt drive kit on it.

I'm new to elec but not nitro, flying a milli 90.

I'm using a CSM HLG200 heading lock gyro which I know is ok with a supertec servo which is SLOW!! I'm getting a jumpy tail even with a very low gyro gain settings, so low the tail wanders with collective but however still wags with an input like with a too higher gain.

Do you think I need a faster tail servo, if so what do you recommend?

Why have robbe changed the tail rotor side with the belt drive conversion kit? Could this be why the problem has occured?

Thanks

Actually have the tail rotor on right hand side while looking at the heli tail in is more efficent. Since main rotor turns clockwise, the tail will want to turn counterclockwise and having the tail blades on the right side makes it easier for tail rotor to do its work since it does not have the tail boom in its way.

Most likely, the problem lies with your tail servo. I use fut9254, a full size tail servo. It works great! You might be able to get away with smaller servos but off hand I can't remember any that will work with Eolo.

Thanks for the advice

Whats the best method of mounting a full size servo on the eolo tail?

Just had a surf to look at Gy401 combos.

Has anybody had any experience with the S9257 on the eolo?

The 401/9257 combo should work very well.

I bought the s9257 and stuck with the CSM HLG 200.

Flew today and it works great and has even allowed me to increase the gain!!

Thanks for the advice

I use the 9650 smaller servo with no problem at all, many flights on my heavy eolo camera ship (in my gallery). I have used 9254's also, and they work well as expected. If you want a 9254, I have one in perfect low use condition I need to sell.

Don't waste your effort on the wrong (slow or analog) servo. Get the 9650, 9254 or 9253. I am not familiar with the others mentioned but I am sure they are fine too.

keepin' it real
