Hi, Malcolm.. nice to know someone living so far away is here as well.... Welcome.....to daddyhobby.com......

Hi, started RC Heli in may 04 and have since got myself in order (1) Mikado Logo 10 , (2) zap 400 (belt drive) AND (3) Trex 450 with X upgarde.

Consider me a builder rather then a pilot at this point. Spend many hours building and changing ( debugging ) to try to get a successful flight. Can do only minimum "flying" on reflex but eager to try on a real one.

Have been having problem with tails spining as I went straight to high configuration like brushless on all 3 helis.

Semi-retired the Logo until I can find a bigger space and better managed the ZAP and Trex.

No successful flight beyond 3mins.....like I said, I am a builder then pilot.

Good to know there are a "few" player in Singapore then I could seek for help in future....for now want to try to resolve all the issue myself..

Tail spinning?

Wat gyro are u using? If u're using a head-holding gyro
shouldn't have this problem..
If not, u gotta setup revo-mixing to counter the main rotor..

[JYZoom]

PhiBeR, I am actually using GY401 on Trex and GY240 on my ZAP. My initial problem on ZAP have been due to the gear , which I have recently upgrade to Beltdrive.

Also notice that on both the Trex and ZAP, the tail holder actually can rotate if the force is great. I suspect that because I am using brushless the power may be too great for it to hold.

I have make some modification in the last two days to my ZAP and Trex by adding a screw through the tail holder and bloom to hold the tail in place. Believe this will solve the problem. Will try that when I get the chance.

My Trex motor is Hacker B20-18L , 11T, Kokam 1500 4S , Phoneix CC-60, UBEC

My Zap motor is ****** brushless , 10T , Kokam 1500 3S, Hacker 77-Opto, UBEC

All other servos used on Trex and Zap are ****** 9G servo ( that one that come alone the ZAP flight pack ).

I know a lot of the electronic parts are overkills, but I am trying to make sure I can reuse as much of these as possible with Trex/ZAP and eventually move back up to my Logo 10 (Cabro kit ).

hehe... or as dumb as me... didn't realised revo mixing was on by default and was using a hh gyro... end results: a ridiculous wagging tail...

[JYZoom]

Nic, Thanks. Good point but don't think so. I have revo mix set to INH and also all 5 point to 0%. Using 9CH.

MY god!!
That is seriously overkill!!!

U can bring down ur heli for us to see when we fly..
We fly every Sunday at Bishan interchange nearby the Mac's..

COuld be a few problems, but i'm sure they're easily solvable..
Dun soound like a tough problem..

Can try see if ur gyro is in correct orientation/direction
and also check ur tail pitch.. might not be enough to counter the spinning..
