Miniature Aircraft Nitro/Gas Helicopters > TAIL ROTOR RUNNING BACKWARDS? IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Getting my Fury Tempest back in order for the season and I can't get the tail right. The short of it is, that the tail seams to rotate in the wrong direction thus giving me problems with my gyro. All 4 of my other helis are set up the same from the radio settings to the rotation of the main and tail rotor. (Right Hand Rotation). I checked the Fury against the Vigor since the engines are mounted the same. This is when I noticed that the TR blades on my Vigor rotate in the opposite direction as my Fury. So what have I reversed?

I ripped apart the main gear last year and thought I replaced it properly.

I sent the clutch assembly back to MA to have the bearings and lining replaced.

I also sent the TR assembly back to MA to have bearings replaced.


I know this sounds dumb but I just can't figure this out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Been there done that!

The FAI and 3d models of the Furys have the tail rotor on opposite sides of the boom, and they turn in opposite directions. You can convert from one to the other by changing the position of the gear inside the gearbox. Perhaps MA put the gear in opposite how you had it before. Simple enough to change yourself, or you could just flip the box and change the position of the pitch change arm so you have it on the other side of the boom. Performance wise I've never been able to tell the difference.
