Hi, I'm new here and to heli's I have flown some fixed pitch (Nine Eagles 328) and decided to go to Walkera CP to step up. I just can't get the setup right for a beginner. I'm trying to get the swash to return to level without imput can this be done. If I adjust the gyro sensor down to about 50% it does this but the tail rotor won't keep the heli from rotating with it set that low. Am I trying to do something that can't be done? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

I don't understand.
The tail gyro setting does not have anything to do with the swash plate.

Keep your tail gyro high around 85-90%.

The swash gyro is the little screw on the RX. the higher you have it set, the "stiffer" the heli will feel.

Also use your DR/Expo to dial down the sensitivity.

But remember, you can only slow it down so much before it becomes impossible to fly as your corrections will respond too slowly. It will NOT fly itself.

I suggest you just set it back to the recommended setting in the manual and keep practicing. You will get it- just keep it tail in until you can control the hover.
