yes oh my god, the tail just won't leave me alone. i think my tail motor is gone, it's just maybe it's defective or i've stalled it alittle during this timespan. i went out and flew today, at first it's ok, just not holding well enough, but at the end, the tail suddenly started feeling very 'loose', and will easily spin around during the slightest throttle change. seeing that, i did alittle analysing and i couldn't think of any other cause.

i'm using a cheapo lipo with over 200 flights, so it ain't great at all, i run 100% throttle in idle up and get only around 5min of flight time. it's a "Power" brand 1050mah 12c cont 20c burst. it ain't holding voltage at all. i also have a heatsink on the tail motor, i do get a slight amount of wag during the first 30sec maybe? it goes away i think as my lipo voltage goes down.

well, i guess i'm down until i get a new dd tail motor. urgggg... not even 30flights on this one.
