honeybee - spinning around

[roadhog]

HI there,

i have a Esky HoneyBee and i have been having some problems getting it up in the air. when i am about to take off and i throttle it up it starts to spin around. i have recently put a new tail motor on it as the old one broke and im not sure why it is spinning around. the heli is completly stock so there is no upgraded parts at all.

does anyone know how i could stop this from happening?

cheers

sounds like you may have the tail wired up wrong and spinning the wrong way

thought it might be something stupid like that, although it is spinning clockwise. is that not the right way?

Cheers

t b h i dont know but most spin anticlockwise!! is there a reversing switch on your tx if so revese the rudder channel and try that

Hi Roadhog,

Have to say Boggy is right...tail rotor spins anticlockwise as you look at it from shaft end. Tail rotor speed increases for nose right stick.
Looking at my 4-in-1 the tail motor connector is at the top and is red wire to the top unlike the main motor connector which is at the bottom and red wire to the bottom.

Hope this helps

thanks for your replies guys,

yup you are right, i re soldered the wires the correct way round and it works fine now. stupid mistake! :P
