On inspection of the chopper, it turned out that the gyro was over-sensitive, and therefore causing a spin-up on take off, and settling down once fully in flight and a mild touch to the rudder. It was also found that the ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) was not properly configured either, the chopper leapt into the air at just a touch over 50% on the throttle instead of a gradual increase on the cyclic.
These problems have now been rectified, new ESC and the gyro has been reconfigured.
Whats up with the rotating takeoff?
