Need help
Ok, here is my problem. I have a E-razor 450 that all it want to do is spin. It spins to the left. I have the tail rotor adjusted all the way to the right and it still want to spin left. I have got 2 of these helis, the other is a Heli max 400. I can't get either one to fly straight. Im about at wits end with these electrics. Im almost ready to trade these in on a nitro heli, less problems. Can someone help me out on how to adjust the tail rotor? The control on the tail rotor is maxed out on the right side.

nitro is not going to solve anything. basically you bought a cheap brand. They may or may be fixable. If they are spinning then the tail is not working right. It could be the gyro needs to be reversed but something about the tail is not working right. You should get a book on setup and go through the process. There are inexpensive downloads on rchelicopterfun.com that explain everything. Power it up with the ESC disconnected from the motor. Turn the nose to the left. The tail should move the same was as giving right rudder. That is one test.
If you want a prebuilt helicopter that works out of the box, Blade 450X is a good choice.

He's right. This isn't a nitro vs. electric problem at all. You'll have the same technical issues to face on a nitro.
Anyway, could be any number of things: Tail belt twisted the wrong way Tail blades backwards Reversed gyro Bad mechanical setup Burnt tail servo Bad gyro That's just to name a few. Either find somebody local who knows helis to give you a hand or start looking through the finless vids here if you can't find anyone. |

Thanks for the info but everything is rigged by the book. My problem is that the "wish bone" piece on the tail rotor itself is against the bearing. And yes I had a nitro bird before and never had as much problem as I have had with these.
