e-E-Flite Blade CP mCX CX 400-3D > Tail rotor

Just trying out my blade cp and there is a problem , when I give a left input the tail rotor motor stops, right is ok. Is this an indication of battery level getting low or is there a problem??? If I reverse the rudder input on the contrloller the problem reverses. Still only goes one direction but the controller input is reversed. Any ideas. Thanks

Are you saying that the blades stop moving when you give it left input? I don't remember which direction but my blade will stop the tail rotor blades from moving in one direction to allow the main rotor to move the tail in the desired direction. When moving the opposite way the tail rotor has to overcome main rotor influence so it is active. I think this is normal, the heli just takes advantage of the already present force from the main rotor in one direction.

As long as the heli is flying OK then don't worry-this is normal in my experience.

Yes, if you give full left rudder the tail rotor will stop. This is normal. Also lets you do real fast piros when you're hovering!

Yeah - this is what happens on a motor driven tail. It is pretty funny (and sometimes discomforting) to see the tail rotor stop when you're doing FFF banked turns... it is normal.

Since the tail is counter-acting the main rotor torque, when the tail blade stops or slows down, the heli is turned left by the main rotor blade torque.

thats completely normal. it doesnt actually change the pitch of the tail rotor, its just a variable speed motor. mine stops as well when i go left.
