130x tail drifting?

[Paulig]

Just repaired the 130x and now notice the tail drifting to the right? Any ideas?

What did you replace,Paul?

Also, what do you mean by drifting? A constant turn, or it doesn't feel locked-in anymore? If the latter, mines been feeling "loose" for a few days and it's been driving me nuts because I couldn't find anything wrong!

Found it this afternoon! The small "stick/pin" underneath the tail slider that slots into the arm from the servo push-rod had broken off. The tail slider was still working therefore, but it made the heli feel really nervous on the tail.

Rakon metal slider ordered ....

The whole tail parts. Main gear. Boom

I'd say a slow constant drift?

Have you set the tail pitch lever at 90 degree's?

Check for binding,disconnect the push rod and see if it's smooth.

No I haven't? I'll have a look and report back......

[Paulig]

I think it might be. How do you straighten it????

[Nick B]

Undo the tail servo bracket and move till you get 90....you may need to use the link to adjust it if your servo is tight against the frame.

Needs to look like this from above..

It Definatley is out! Hopefully your suggestion will sort it.

[Nick B]

Did the tail blow out on you at all?

[Paulig]

I only hovered gently so didn't push, so can't answer that...yet.

If its out a fair bit it would of,i have found that it holds perfect a teeny weeny bit to the the left,you can see mine is not perfect 90 like they say to have it,all helis are different.
