Ah, I see now. Your tail boom is a much newer version than mine and mounts differently. Mine needs the O-ring.
Have you tried to adjust the 3 in 1. The manual gives suggestions for solving several problems. Also one motor could be getting weak.

Send me your address again Jim and I will send you some fresh O rings, I can't imagine ever needing them for anything.
I have no doubt that I can get it flying right but I will probably have to wait until Sunday to mess with it. I have a couple of planes that I am building for friends that I would like to have going by Sunday.

I have been working on the CX2 this morning, making really good progress. I have been using this post as a guide.

Once I had the blades where they looked like they were turning at the same speed I started trying low hovers. Adjusting the "proportional" screw I can get the helicopter to hover with no trim and it turns (rudder/yaw) left and right at the same speed. I am actually still trying to fine tune it, once you find the sweet spot you can tell the difference in very small adjustments.
I was also having issues with tail wagging. Adjusting the gain seems to have solved that problem. I will also keep fine tuning it to try and find the spot where I will have the most gain with no tail waggles.
While I was working on it I went ahead and moved the controls on the servo arm out one hole for a little more sensitivity. It will be Thursday before I really get a chance to check it out indoors with room to fly.
I can already tell I am going to like the changes though. The slow turn to the left was so irritating.

I had a inner shaft gear with a stipped tooth. The heli came down but not hard. The only damage I could find was a stripped tooth or two of the inner shaft drive gear. I replaced the gear and now I have to hold the tail with right rudder. I have inspected both drive shafts, blades, gears are tight on shaft and not slipping. I have adjusted the proportional pot all the way clockwise. I have played with the gyro setting pot. Nothing works I have to hold the tail with some right rudder always. Trim all the way to the right is not enough. Help please!
