What are these like? I have one buut have nothing to compare it with, being
a newbie and all.

I seem to get a slight rotation going when hovering in HH mode, not sure how
to, or whether to increase or decrease the gain.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Brilliant gyro.

It's nothing to do with gain, just adjustment of the pushrod going to the
tail. Make the tail pushrod shorter or longer (depending on which way the
heli's rotating). Generally that's shorter to stop a left rotation and
longer for a right rotation. Make the adjustment SMALL (1 turn increments)
