Does anyone know anything about the Storm 450??
New to helicopters, flown planes for years, but
would like to fly helis on my property.  My son
bought me this copter for birthday.  I have played
around with the FS-one simulator enough to fly
pretty good, but have a problem with the gyro not
keeping the tail stable.  Wants to spin
counterclockwise all the time.  The Chinese
directions are not real clear one the adjustments.

Thanks guys for any help you can give.

the gain on the gyro is set to high   or you can reverse the gyro
norm  or reverse

The majority of the time the gyro direction is reversed with these
situations.  NOT the rudder channel, the actual gyro.

To test this, set the heli on the bench with the tail rotor(TR)
towards you,  (i.e. nose to the right, TR on the side of the boom
closest to you), throttle all the way down (or even better, disconnect
the motor) and power up the Tx then the heli.

Pull the boom towards you and watch the TR blades.  The trailing edge
of the blades should move in the same direction as the boom.  If not,
your gyro's direction is backwards and needs to be reversed.

If the blades are moving the proper direction, your headspeed could be
too slow, a belt pulley is slipping or broken, TR hub is slipping on
the shaft etc...
