Reversing the Tail Rotor Gyro

If the heli has a clockwise rotation of the main blades, could you reverse it to a counterclockwise rotation and get the tail rotor to speed up and slow down in the opposite direction???

I see that with Deviation, I can reverse many things, but would it reverse the direction the tail rotor pushed

I know this program will do many things that i have not figured out yet, so I thought i would ask.

Thanks,

Jim

That's a function of the ESC, not the Tx. So the first question to ask is
"Can my ESC reverse the direction of the motor?"The latest generation of cheap quads all reverse the motor direction to fly inverted, and deviation can certainly handle those.

Are you trying to build an FP heli that mimics the latest quad thing of reversing prop direction to invert the heli?

Hello Jim,

you can reverse the rudder channel itself, so if left/right stick is movement tail pitch slider left or right.
But that is only about steering control.

For e.g "gyro direction compensation" you directly control that behavior either on the gyro (switch, flybar) or within the FBL.

For belt driven you control that how you mount the belt on the tail belt pulley - either switched 45 degree left or right. So it spins either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

"Speed up and slow down": So you are talking about motor driven tails??
Either the FBL or the dual ESC controls itself in what directions to push or how to compensate.
For most proprietary tail motor helis this seems to be somehow fixed / not-configurable??

For other TT helis like Walkera V120D02s there have been threads posted how to mount the tail blades from right to left.
