storm 450
Lee Tollett
New to helicopters, flown planes for years, but
would like to fly helis on my property. My son
bought me this copter for birthday. I have played
around with the FS-one simulator enough to fly
pretty good, but have a problem with the gyro not
keeping the tail stable. Wants to spin
counterclockwise all the time. The Chinese
directions are not real clear one the adjustments.
Thanks guys for any help you can give.

the gain on the gyro is set to high or you can reverse the gyro
norm or reverse
