Good morning all,
I have been using this forum over the last few weeks to aid with the initial set-up of my Honey Bee King 2, and i must say there seems to be a thread for everything.... which has been extremely helpful for me. However yesterday i went through my ground exercises/first flight and i have a few obersvations i would like bounce around.

1. On start up of the Helicopter i get a slight oscillation in the main shaft but once up to speed this dissapears. Is this normal? I should mention once upto speed blade tracking is 'spot on'.

2. When the Heli is light on the skids it starts to rotate clockwise. When i counter this with moving the rudder to the right the heli spins in the opposite direction, again when i try to counter this the diections of spin changes and on and on it goes. I tried trimming, and nothing happened. I moved the servo both towards and away from the tail (i saw this on a post on this site) and the heli just span faster in the direction you would expect from the movement. So at the end of this i am a little stumped. The ony other thing i thought of this morning was could it be due to the Gain on the gyro?

Any help on the above issues would be welcome.
