So I'm pretty new to the new heli thing. Been into RC cars for as long as I remember.

I've got an Axe CP, never really learned how to fly it well, but being a mechanical engineer dealing with automation and high technology such as brushless servo motors, I just had to put a Hyperion P1919 M06 motor on it, put a 15tooth pinion on it. Worked OK for a few days, I also paired the motor with a 35A hyperion ESC. I love the adjustability. And just to let you know I did go overboard here, I've been fully expecting to upgrade to a Trex or similar, it is just way too windy for the Axe where i live.

So now the problem. After a few flights and crashes(have checked linkages and main shaft, everything is very smooth and straight there) and what not, I could not get the tail to hold at all. This was upgraded with a gy240, when I bought a 7ch futaba heli radio. (going to be getting into planes here as well) I set the radio curves very simply, measure my min and max pitch, followed some advice with the collective mixing, and everything worked out great.

Then I started frying direct drive tail motors trying to keep the machine from spinning. Figured I needed more tail power so I upgraded to a little terror of a hyperion 12mm motor direct driving the tail. Helped a bit but over heated and shut down.

Is there something obvious I'm missing here? Oh, forgot to mention that I'm running plastic trainer blades.

Please give my overly obsesive techno brain some advice.

Regards,

Steve
