Okay, do this. Set position 0 to 30, position 1 to 40 and position 2 to -40.
When you are in the positives, you are in HH (heading hold) mode. When you are in the negatives, you are in rate mode. When you plug in the heli, make sure you are in pos 0 or 1. If you have to move the heli, the tail will be pushed to one side all the way (that's the way HH works). To center it easily, just quickly flip your gyro switch to position 2 and back to either 0 or 1. This will center the tail so it's ready to fly.
Now that you have some gain on your tail, give it a shot. The tail will move just slightly when spooling up (thanks to the awesome ESC) but it should hold pretty well. If it doesn't, we will work on that. Just remember, don't use any trim on anything with a 3 axis gyro.

Oh, and the 600 that I"m working on is the Official Rc-Help.com Helicopter. It's the one that I"m doing all of the videos on and the heli that many members got together and donated to purchase. It's a great helicopter and if you search "RCH Heli" you will see all kinds of posts and videos on it.

Looks good to me. Just an FYI, I just looked at my Tx and my settings are -100 (anything in the negatives will go into rate mode) on position 0, 67 on position 1 and 0 on position 2. Not sure why I had it that way, i should have had it the way you do.
Since I see that I had a higher gain, you may need to raise it after flying it. If you see the tail starting to drift, just raise it up a bit and try again. do this until you get a slight wag then back it down. Make sure to test it in idle up 2 since the higher the head speed, the more sensitive it will be.
