Problem: 4in1 or Tail motor?

[F1Atom]

My heli is grounded again! :arggg: My problem is with the tail. It won't hold and when I go full power the tail motor stops completely. Even if I move the rudder stick to full right the tail motor still stops. The motor is pretty new, it has 5 flights on it barely. I notice too my 4in1 light flashes red and green very quickly when this happens. I dunno.

I just wanted to know what your opinions were. Cause I'm think of retiring the blade all together. Reliability is not so good. It last for the hundred flights but is now going down the toilet bowl. It kinda suxs, I had just learned how to fly nose in and could do it very well. I could hover nose in the entire time. I was on the verge of taking my first real flight instead of hovering around all the time. Oh well I guess its time to move on. :(

Instead of spending money on this thing, I might as well spend it on something that will last like a trex Se or something better than this.

Thank You!

What chopper do you have? If you get a brushed esc for the tail control it should get rid of stupid problems like tail control.

simple test

pick up a 9v

remove the wires going to the tail motor.. then touch the 9v to the 2 prongs. se wire if needed. but make sure its 2 seperate peices.. youdont want to screw anything up
neways if the motor powers up and spins for a few seconds then its not the motor. and ts the 4n1

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I took so long to respond back. I've been studying.

Your not going to believe this but after being on the shelf for 2 wks I got it up in the air with any problems. It just flew perfectly with any adjustments or repair. I got one good flight then the problems started again. :arggg:

It turns out that the tail motor is good but I think the 4in1 is going to go soon or has gone. My problem now is that the tail kicks out to the right randomly without any reason or input. I turned down the gyro a bit but it didn't help. And the tail motor will stop on occasion when at full throttle.

I think the 4in1 is going bad because of the heat generated from the Lipo. I think it can't handle it. I dunno. I think this could be the end for BladeCP. I really don't want to spend anymore money it. I better save it for a better heli like a 450 or a HDX 500.

Any thoughts?
Thanks for all your responses!
