after looking at the eflight cpp2 videos, it looks like it's doing fine with the g110 alone. so for now i'll stick with "disabling" the rate gyro on my 3n1. when i make it to the lhs next, i'll pick up a 2n1 to shave a few grams off.

carl,
the stock tail should hold ok for farting around if the motor is good and the 3/4n1 is setup right. maybe your tail motor is going south?

fyi, revo mixing on your tx is basically the "cadillac" version of using the proportional on your 3n1. both accomplish the same thing (both increase tail rpm proportional to rotor rpm), but the proportional poti only tunes to one point on the throttle curve, and revo can be tuned to several points (5points for most newer tx's). anyhow, if you are using revo, make sure to turn proportional on your 3n1 all the way off (ccw).

imho, the best non-3d flights i've had on my cpp were with tx revo and a brushless tail (no hh, just the 3n1 rate gyro). with that setup, the tail felt absolutely locked in during aggressive ff, but of course it wasn't hh, which is necessary for the 3d stuff.
