Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

No you're spot on Ron. Since there is no pitch-control setup for the tail rotor (it's fixed-pitch) by increasing or decreasing main motor speed while decreasing or increasing tail motor speed at the same time, respectively, you get faster response. The downside is, of course, changes in altitude the farther you move the rudder stick left or right. With my 6102 TX setup I set up a mix, but I can fine-tune this setup so it's a good balance of responsiveness and performance. Alas, this is one of the problems with a fixed pitch tail. There are solutions out there though, such as a direct-drive motor which yields higher RPM's with a smaller prop, so you get more responsivenes but more amperage draw.
