i just bought a used 4G3 and i am having trouble with flying it. when i try to take off it spins radically on its yaw axis i dont know if it is to much torque output or not enough tail prop power ... i have tried to make adjustments to the gyro but to no avail. please help. and if you could please use lamens terms im very new to the world of rc. my set up is below.

Hi neale.smith3191
The receiver might have a small screw which is marked "proportional".
Probably has + and - sign each side of the screw. This will determine how much % of power goes to the tail motor. Looking down at the heli if it is spinning anti clockwise you need to turn the screw to the +. If it spins clockwise turn the screw to the -. Only turn the screw a small amount at a time. You might also have to unplug the battery after each adjustment for it to have effect. Then you might need to reset the gyro gain.

how exactly do i go about reseting the gyro? im having alot of trouble understanding the terms used in my manual. do you think if i go to a local hobby shop that they would be able to give me tips or would they just turn me away or ask for money in exchange for help.

I have had a look on youtube and it looks as if your gyro is adjusted by a knob on the transmitter. The proportional adjuster screw that outputs power to the rear motor will be on the receiver which is attached to the front of the helicopter. The receiver is the item the battery plugs into.
