Video showing how the stock gyro behaves on a Blade 400 helicopter. I was explaining how it behaved to someone on a forum and they didn't seem to believe me - so I posted this video.

  • Ive just got me a Blade 400, and ive set it up as per everything you've said. However, im having a problem with the HH. In flight, its wandering to, say the left, and ill give it one move on trim to counter, then it slowly creeps to the right.

    I cant get it to hold true. Any suggestions please?

    Btw, you do a great job of these vids

  • Go back and read SOKAL's comment again. HH mode won't center sitting on a table. It's working as expected - at least with locked rotation. Get it in the air and HH will be just fine.

  • EXACTLY! finally someone who genuinely knows the electronics of a blade 400 and not just name dropping on buy this and buy that because some other guy said it was better!!! Thanks man!!!

  • GET A FUTABA RADIO

  • Assuming you dont have any strange settings on your TX like uneven travel adjust I would say it's a combination of the usual crap eflite gyro & servo problems. Replace your gyro with a futaba GY401, your tail servo with a reasonable quality one like a Hitec HS56 & mount the tail servo on the boom like a trex & you will find the bulk of the problems will vanish. I did the same thing on my blade & it solved the same issues.

  • that would be normal for both settings

    in rate mode the servo will center rate mode being les then 50% in gyro gain

    and in Heading hold mode it wont center due to the fact is sitting on a table and it isnt sensing and yaw movment HH mode is anything above 50%
