If the rudder is only moving the tail one way that the servo is either broken or you have to change the servo arm so that the tail rotor servo has can travel. What might have happened was the crash knocked the servo arm all the way to one side.

hi shandy
i dont know that heli but there could be an adjuster pot on the receiver that designates how much power goes to the main motor and how much power to the tail. if you have fitted a new receiver on the heli it might need adjusting. whether you need to turn the pot to + or - will depend which way your heli is spinning. if it spins c/w it will need - . if it spins cc/w you will need +. you might have to disconnect and reconnect the battery after each adjustment for it to take effect. turn the screw only small amounts at a time till you hit the sweet spot.

thanks for the input this heli has everything built into the receiver gyro etc it has a shaft driven tail from it's own motor.at present i think it could be the tx at fault i have contacted helipal about this problem and i am waiting for a reply. anymore thoughts keep them coming cheers
