Default My New 370 Motor

I recieved my new 370 Hummingbird motor today and It is providing so much power that the tail rotor will not keep up

How do I fix this

I had exactly the same problem. I found I had to do separates to counter the extratorque of the new motor. Having a dedicated tail esc seemed to solve the problem

Going to a 9 tooth pinion on the GWS 370 worked for me. I am running seperates with a HLG200 HH gyro.

Default Pinion Change

The origanal motor was a 280 with a 10T pinion.

My upgraded/replacement motor is a 370 with another 10T pinion therfore providing extremely increased power.

Should I go down 1 or maybe 2 teeth.

THANKS

Default I took off the gyro

I can now fly with the tail rotor keeping up with the main rotor becasue my gyro is unplugged.

I have a Cirrus gyro which I guess if holding back power. Ho do I setup the gyro so it will not do this

THANKS
