Align T-Rex 500 ESP - First Flight

I use the dx6i TX and on the gyro setting i use in headhold 75 %, but still the tail wabbles a bit.

How many % do you have on your gyro setting voor HH?

thanks!

I have 35% on the Spartan ds760 (quite normal for this gyro).

Check if all tail rotor parts are moving freely and especially if the rudder control rod moves easily ... Also, the Align speed controller is known for producing tail wag if used in Governor mode (I'm using a Kontronik Jive controller).

thanks for your answer. I think the rudder moves freely and i dont use the governor mode, but normal airplane setting.

I have to try some little things, but thanks anyway!

man, its looks like your using a helicommand so stable. I just finished building my trex 500, but i want to fly it just like you!!

what is your throttle setting?

Thanks for your kind comment! No, I'm not using an HC, and yet it flies really stable! ;-)

I'm using a Kontronik Jive 80+ speed-controller and get 2400 rpm (13T pinion) at approx. 75% and 2600 rpm at approx. 85%.
