Well not sure what im doing wrong here's what i got r30 with gy401/s9253 8uhps radio. i tried to to change the setting in radio from 70%-100% at 5% increments and nothing when i have it on my work bench and move the heli around the gyro appears to be making the correct adjustment but when i get back outside to try it out and tail wont lock

any help would be appreciated

I am using 8UH super I assigned my gyro switch to E Normal - I set for 90% Idle up 1 = 80% Idle up 2 = 20%..

When on Normal and Idle up 1 switch are on.. The LED on Gyro stays on. That means it's on AVCS mode or Heading Hold mode.

If the light is off on the Gyro that means you are on Normal Rate mode..

Check to make sure LED light is on when you are in HH Mode.

Good Luck.

Is this a new gyro set-up, or have you flown it before already? The gyro doesn't lock. Are you saying the tail drifts slowly or does the heli try to spin rapidly upon getting the skids light?

thats what it is doing when it gets lite on the skids it wants to spin rapidly. i then try to put in opposite of which way it is going to try to counter the spin and it slows down then gose the other way. hopefully i get it fixed from help here but i hope i will be able to neet up with nate from rick's to check it out. the red light is on

sounds like you have to reverse your tail servo.. see if that works.

Reversed

Does the 401 have a reverse switch? Sounds like it is running reversed.

401

Check to see that when you rotate the heli nose left that the t/r pushrod pulls or moves forward. If not , reverse the servo or the gyro.

Go to channel 5 in you atv and see were they are set.
Mine went to a default 30% for some reason.
Should be 100%

401 info

Yes made the same error, change the "direction" switch on the gyro,
then try again. Worked for me. Hope this helps. let us know.

Along with making sure that the gyro is not reversed, make sure that when you are looking at the right side of the heli and spinning the main blades clockwise, the tail blades go counterclockwise. If they are going cw your tail belt is reversed.

New update on 401 drifting.

Just got back from flying this afternoon.. I also experiencing the drifting.. now that's not because of the servo reverse or anything.. I found out . When your flight pack battery running low. Gyro will tends to drift. it doesn't have much holding power anymore. I have 2 pack of batteries in my heli so when i plug in the fresh pack.. the drifting stops.. Digital servo do drained quite a great deal out of your battery.. so keep an eye out for the battery voltage.
