Tail motor problem - 4/25/2003 5:57:13 AM

I have a problem with my tail motor. Recently i've just change a new tail motor as the old one had burn out. The problem which occurs now is the tail motor speed drops when i increased the throttle above 60% and it started to spin. It looks like there's not enough power on the tail rotor. Please advice on the matter. By the way, it's a mini dragonfly model from feda.

Thanks

Another test you may want to try is only apply right rudder and see if the motor outputs more power or if the motor begins to drop in power the further you move the stick to the right.

Hope this is of help
Paul
