Default Help with Hummingbird Elite FP spinning

I just got my HB Elite FP with Lipo, and was playing around with it, maybe I have ran 10 times.

The HB started to spin counter clockwise the faster I would spin the main blades the faster it started to spin so I tried trimming the gyro amd setting gains and radio trim and was not able to stop it from spinning. even with full
left tail rotor.

So I thought the motor was dieing. I knew this was going to happen with 7.4 Lipo's. So I bought the Like90 Dual tail rotor motors, I had them already to install.

So I installed them and I am getting the same problem. I even tried using only one of the new motors and I an still getting the same problem.

Any ideas what I should try? Could the main Blades have too much pitch? this is a FP Elite

I get this same problem with my new HB Elite CP and I'm using Ni-MH 8.4V. I don't think it's your Lipo's. Does the LED on your mixer go red before full throttle like mine, I only get to about 50% throttle with a fully charger battery when the LED turns red. Maby this is a common problem with this batch mixers?

I am not sure if it is going red, I have to check, But what I find weird is everything was working well, nothing was crashed, I was just using it all day without a problem.

I am going to check the mixing board, is there a way to boost the tail rotor power?

Yes , My mixing board is going red at 1/2 throttle and it is a newly charged lipo. I have it happing to both batteries and I know these are good cells.
