Blade CP always yawwing to the left!
OK,
I am pretty new to this. I bought this Blade CP from a co-worker who upgraded it with Li-Po, Aerobatic kit, and CF rotor blades. I flew it several times this weekend in my living room. It wants to yaw to the left, not fiercely but a bit.
I added training ping-pongs. Which my co-worker says may be changing the dynamics of the heli, since it did not rotate like that for him...
When I tried flying it Saturday and Sunday I tried trimming it out, and was unable to dial out a tendency for the heli to rotate to the left, this is with the rotor mix turned completely counter clockwise, and the rudder trim fully to the right. And yes I disconnected the battery before adjusting the 4-1.
I can fly it but must maintain a bit of right stick to keep it pointed straight, and this makes a somewhat difficult task of flying a heli, even more difficult...
What should I do to fix this? New tail motor? Go back to Balsa rotor blades?
Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,

The tail motor could be losing power due to age.If it runs erratically,it is probably getting ready to burn out. Without heatsinks tail motors might last for 20 flights at most.

OK,
It has the heatsink on it so how long should it last with a heatsink?
I guess I'll pick up a new tail motor and see if that fixes things.
