Reassembling the tail drive

[Guest]

Hi all,

I had to reassemble the tail on my Twister 3D. I forgot which way the belt should twist through 45 degrees but I did not think it would matter as I could switch the gyro to reverse or normal depending if the rudder was reversed.
This did not make a difference so instead I reversed the channel on the TX. This corrected the tail direction and I took off but it just kept piro'ing.

The trim is set to central but the sub trim I noticed after is at 25 (it always was before I had to do the rebuild).
I can not remember setting it to 25 but I wonder if this is the source of my problem or should the gyro keep it straight no matter what?

Given I felt lucky not to stack it and the ground was a bit too wet I took it back inside for another day.

Cheers all,
Jack

Put the settings back to how it was and twist the belt right (i think).

If not, just turn it the other way, the tail baldes should be coming up.

So, looking down the boom from back to the front, towards the head, turn the belt to the right, right?

Cheers,

Yea.

In the same position you are in, the tail blade should be coming up towards you. If it is going down, twist the belt to the left instead.

Nah, I am at work and no space to fly at home. Might pop out and try it somewhere tonight
