This video is of one of my flights last evening. First of all, I’m flying a modified E-sky Honey Bee FP heli with the AR6100 receiver which is updated, with the exception of the 1.6 brownout fix. Also, keep in mind that this heli also has a motorized tail.

At 0:43 into the video, the heli suddenly piros CCW 2 ½ times. Then, a few seconds later, the heli jerks about a ¼ turn also in the CCW direction. I suspect the problem is either gyro (E-sky HH gyro) related or AR6100 related. I don’t suspect the tail motor, because I only have a few flights on this tail motor and if the tail motor was indeed cutting out, the heli would be piroing in a CCW direction.

This has also occurred on a couple of occasions in the past; however, I was really never able to nail down the problem. What do you all think? Do you suspect the gyro or the AR6100? Thanks.

Change the motor. IF that doesn't work, it's your gyro.
