So I have a question. I have a hbk2 and I have the same gyro for it, but it won't hold the tail, and i've tried to mess with the gain, rev/nor, but it's not responding. What do you think it could be? Maybe broken?
@wkialyleiam Could be. I've had gyros go bad before. You didn't mention how bad the issue is, if the gyro is not working correctly or not at all. After powering up move the tail by hand and see if the tail servo responds. If the servo responds does but the tail is not holding there could be several things. I've considered replacing my tail servo with a higher speed servo to reduce the response time but have't explored that option just yet. Can you describe your issue a little more?
@jmoheli I see. Well when i power up he heli the gyro seems to connect. I hear the beep, and see it lock in with the servo, but when i spin it up the heli's nose always goes to the left. No matter what i do (move the servo, mess with the gain, rev and back to nor, mess with the trims and gain nob) it hasn't worked. I bought another gyro to see if it would work. hasn't got here yet though. I really want to fly the hbk2. I think i'm ready to start practicing.
@wkialyleiam It sounds like you've covered most of the basics. Because it always goes to the left is a good clue. Try flattening the pitch of the main blades (shorten the feathering shafts). If you have too much pitch in the main blades the torque from the rotor will be more than the tail can overcome. Try setting the main blade pitch to just about flat when throttled down. This is ok since the rotor servos are linked to increase the pitch as you throttle up.
@luki01111 : I use the nylon lock nuts. Keep in mind that the aluminum rotor has 3mm holes and the wooden blades come with a 2.5mm holes so you'll need to drill them out. Some blades come with 3mm holes already, I just happen to like the wooden ones.
Sorry dude, just trying to share what limited information I could gather. On powering down, I figured that by the time I have the power that low I should be on the ground. The turntable is built from a hard drive and is extremely sensitive.

What nut's do you have in main blades is it selfocking nut or ordinary one ?

@jmoheli thanks.

It's STILL not right: Coming off power on that turntable you should NOT have that spin at all!

NO, actually the frustrating part is trying to make sense of this video!
