Tail Motor Chatters and Horribly HOT

[Cshep70]

My tail motor runs smoothly from the motors tab or blhelisuite, but chatters <David’s Voice> Horribly below 60% throttle when armed via radio. Not waggles, the motor itself audibly chatters and gets frightfully HOT. At idle it’s overheating.

Edit: It has been a while and I don’t think the static Tail Tune completed successfully. IIRC, when i pull3d down on the right stick the at the end of tuning, I forgot about the speed test. The motor may have only moved to the left and stopped. Related?

What am I missing?

Static Tail Tune in .7B2 no worky for 3-wire non feedback servo

I redownloaded the hex, reflashed, and reran the tail tune in B2. It completes up to the timing step. When you pull down on the right stick the servo throws left and everything hangs.

Arming the ‘copter after this makes an AWFUL ruckus from the tail motor and it gets VERY HOT.

I flashed back to .5 in Cleanflight and my belived Mini is back!

lauka, Litterbug, (David): THANK YOU.
