Status: offline 		Hi - have been flying my twister cp for a year now
and think its great - have fixed it more times than ive woken up and can sort
it with my eyes closed.

However, the boom snapped at the body end so i removed the broke bit
and put the boom back making it an inch shorter till i could get a replacement.
When flying the tail would swing to the left and i thought, well not enough leaverage on tail so of course its guna swing to the left.

Replaced the boom the other day and gues what it Still swings to the left?
So next i replaced the motor [you no how part-time those bugers are!]
and it Still swings to the left [mines a swinger!]

Have tried adjusting the gain/mix - no difference.

Anybody have a 400in1 that does not gice enough power to tail ne more?
Have installed the Hiller head [great by the way-get it] should this make a difference.
The pitch is perfect - so have run out of ideas - next thing to try is new 4in1?

Soldered in the new one in and it spun to the left like yours ajusted the prop same thing .changed it out with the other one and that one started to smoke.i thought dang 4in 1 went bad .But just for the heck of it i tried an old tail motor I found in by box of old parts.And it works great ,must have been a bad batch of tail motors ????
