Hi guys, A bit of advice would be helpful.It seems that the tail on my heli cannot counter torque the main rotor blades. I mess around with the gain and the proportional yet no luck. Is it possible that the little tail motor has hit its use by date. I have owned the heli for three months now and have been thru a main motor as well. I was so pleased two weeks ago that finally i was now able to hover. Yet after a small crash and a new set of blades the heli seems to behave differently. I feel like i'm back at square one again. The fly bar is straight and even. All other parts seem to be fine as well.
I have never flowen anything before and am loosing a bit of confidence. I think i should of bought the xrb lama right from the beginning but never knew it even existed.

I will persist with this heli, although I have owned it for about three months alot of this has been waiting around for parts from overseas. I have been through maybe 40 battery charges i think.Are my expectations unreasonble, should i be able to hover this throughout a whole pack now? Radds lessons suggest i should be by now i think!

any help appreciated as I still think this little heli is cool!

More then likely it's your tail motor. The stock motors that come with those little birds normally don't last very long. For the price of them, I would try a new one (they don't cost very much).
