Gp780, no swash movement but tails ok

[kenny d]

Hi guys , I'm stuck , a friends Trex 450 sport has a gp780 gyro , the tail corrects ok but the swash stays still no matter how I move the heli
i have tried a 401 which does the same thing , I think the problem is in the transmitter settings (DX7s) similar to DX8, I think the gyro is adjusted through the gear channel , All help would much appreciated , regards Kenny d

The gyro you are using is a single axis to control unwanted yaw movements (tail) not the swash. For that you need a flybarless controller which is a 3 axis gyro.

^^^ what he said! Tail only gyros like that are designed for flybar-equipped helicopters.

Got it , doh , I've only got flybarrless heli's so I couldn't understand why the swash wasn't moving , thanks for that ,I'll now move on to the tail wag , regards Kd

Lol sorry this is funny but if you've never flown a fb heli your forgiven. A proper sign of the times in the hobby
