Status: offline 		Test hovered my new Mini Titan this morning and noticed that the motor was not holding a steady speed, as I could hear it hunting at about once a second. The tail was also slightly wagging side to side at the same rate. The heli was flying ok other than for this, but obviously a bit awkward. I suspect that the ESC may be at fault, but just incase I'm missing something obvious (I'm not a heli expert) any suggestions will be very welcome.

Thanks

The hunting only occurs when the lipo is running low (tail then starts to wag in sympathy with the rotor torque - normal rate gyro at the moment.). With a fully charged battery everything runs OK. It does seem a bit odd how the ESC reacts when the LIPO is getting low, normally I'd expect the power to steadily fade.
