No zeal!

Well I checked my "local" Home Depot. No Zeal tape, but I did find this http://www.loctiteproducts.com/prod...id=185&plid=748 stuff. It has a rubber backing and certainly seems like it will hold, however I don't think it is as thick as Zeal tape. I will try it with one layer first, then I will try two. If that fails then I suppose I will go to the "setup in rate mode first" method and see if that helps.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

Did you turn of revolution mixing on the tail?

Hovering is for planks

Have you tried isolating the gyro wires? Sometimes electrical interferrence can cause the 401 to drift.

As for the gain, you only need enough to hold your tail well, anything more just heats up the servo for no reason.

I agree 100%

Flexis: Yep Revo mixing is disabled in my radio.

Funky Trex: I have not had a chance to hover my new setup with the Loctite tape at the field. I had a small mishap while test hovering in my front yard. See my thread here --> http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t460675p1/ I should be able to get out to the field on Sunday and give it a thorough test.
