Default Hornet Problems

I just got my Hornet ready to fly and whenever I get to the point where the Heli gets real light on the skids it just starts spinning really fast in circles. Even if I counteract the spin it just keeps spinning. I get the same amount of throw on the tail each way and right before it gets light I can move the tail normally. Please Help me out here I'm ready to pack it in. RC Hobby's arent going so good for me lately!!!

Default Hornet Problems

i got the same problem as yours and it took me a while before i found the culprit
give a look at both gears of the tail (the one on contact with the big wheel and the conical )
on my hornet they slip at the start to be light on the skid and the hornet goes like a crazy on pirouettes
hope that help

did the bell crank come off of the slider on the tail rotor control?

Check that the gyro is set for the correct direction, if it is reversed, it will do the same as you described.
