Recently swapping out from VBar Neo to Jeti and Spirit RS..
Installed spirit int a Goblin 570 and have initially run a couple of test flights to verify.

I have noticed a drift on the tail of the machine that is not holding...without adjusting i am able to change the drift between a drift to the left or right by altering the tail rod length but cannot stop the drift.

could it be that the tail blades are the incorrect for the machine or have i missed something in the Gyro gain setting ???

thanks for help

Hello,

it seems that you have not set Tail Gain and the gyro is in Normal (Rate) mode.
Please set Gain to around 50% then all should be good.
