here's some pic sof how it's mounted, this is with the tail blades set at zero. But the pitch left and right are drastically different. i'm usying the futaba gy 240.

when the blades are at zero, the servo horn should be at 90 deg., your servo horn doesn't look like it is at 90 deg

you will have more pitch one way to counter act the rotation of the main blades. If your tail blades are neutral the heli will turn. The tail blades need pitch more one way. The rotation of the main blades help turn the heli. When everything is set up correctly the heli with turn both directions at the same rate and you will have more pitch on the tail blades in one direction

saweet, i just fixed it, and it works well. It's little more on one side than the other, but i see waht you mean PSF. here's some pics, i just finished it a few mins ago.


i relocated the servo, so it won't get hit by the paddles

And i relocated the gyro to keep it out of harms way, after all i love my gyroAnd yes that thing won't budge
