Feda Spins CCW
Hello All
My heli now spins ccw when tring to hover, was working fine , it seems to work ok when the heli is cold, then after 30sec to a minute or so it starts to spin, if i try to give a 3/4 thottle shot i can see the tail motor stop spinning, tail motor is still cool at this point.
I am guessing the the Speed/Mixer is going bad ? I think, gyro seems to work, again i think.
i don't want to speed a lot of money on parts that might not help, i see a can get a humming bird sp/mx, will this work ok on a stock FD, mine has a feda speed/mixer with a GWS pg-03 gyro
Thanks Newbe

I have had to put a small drop of light oil on both ends of my tail motor before. I have had the bushings dry out (or collect enough dust) that the motor couldn't reach full speed.
You might also want to check the gyro gain although if it works okay for the first 30 secs, it may be alright.
