walleye_gfa -> Yet another tail motor question... (7/10/2006 12:00:49 AM)

Ok, I bought used CP that appears to be in good shape. Out of the box I got it to hover and SLOWLY fly around 3-4 feet off ground, figure Im hot stuff... did take a bit of rudder to keep under control but btw the gain and prop it really trimmed out nice. From the reading if I was able to keep it at waist hover in a 5-10 foot circle was doing well.
Anyway, I went to go try it this morning and it seemed to require a little more rudder, then more, then more, then I can hover alright as long as I dont mind doing left circles the whole time... (the motor seems weaker now than yesterday, bout half as strong???).
I have searched the forums for the vast number of comments on this but want confirmation form those who have had the CP for a while... so it seems that Im about to replace my first tail motor ??? If it were the 4 in 1 it would simply have failed altogether right ???
I plan on replacing and using two heat sinks (one now) and for the heck of it will use some thermal grease (like for CPU's) for better thermal bond.
Am I on the right track ??? Seems strange that last night was a little rough but as long as my brain stayed ahead of machine it was fine and this morning (over a couple battery packs) it went to all left tail spin all the time.
11.1v LIPO
Aero upgrades (main motor, gearing, heat sink on both motors)
Been flying RC for 20+ years so I read the manual and adjusted as needed...
Thanks for help !!!!!!!!!
Wally
