  • Tail won't correct

    My 450 tail servo had stripped it's self so I got it a digital one. Since, I put the servo in same position and it just spins fast. What can I do?
    Thanks,
    Jake!

    Have you told the Gyro it is now controlling a digital servo?

          Check the direction of travel and whether the gyro is correcting the right way. Servos from different manufacturers can move in opposite directions, even though you have not changed anything on your transmitter.

              As Si_B says. You can't swap a servo out put a different type in and assume it will be working in the same direction. it all needs rechecking

                        You don't, you change it on the gyro assuming it supports it.

                            copterx 240. Dont worry, the tail blades just got smashed to bits. Oh the gyro has the digital servo switch so thats ok now just need tail blades

                              Jake,

                              You need to be doing more checks before flying your heli's. It's an easy mistake to make, but if you take that approach with something bigger, it might end up with more than the heli getting damaged. It sounds like you were given some advice but didn't take it before flying (which is why I guess you have smashed your tail blades ??). Maybe a bit more patience is required?
                              Cheers,
                              Simon
