    I tried both. The sliders in Cleanflight were fixed. I had no ability to move them at all and yes I did flip the switch to allow the motors (props off).

    I ditched Cleanflight and went to Betaflight. In Cleanflight with the triflight hex there was no option to turn on any voltage or current monitoring either. In Betaflight it all just worked.

    I flashed the 0_5 and the new 0_7 hex in Cleanflight, no joy. 0_7 allowed me to tail tune (disarmed) but then the limits didn’t save so when I armed the copter the servo pitched hard left and did not move.

    I switched to Betaflight and 0_7 works just fine.

    Root cause, the latest triflight was incompatible with the latest Cleanflight.

    I haven’t tried an armed tail tune yet (disarmed works fine) because of high winds. The copter flies very well without it at this point but once the wind dies down I am eager to try.

    I am still running Oneshot42 as DShot didn’t work. I checked and I do not have the capacitors and no level of DShot ran on this copter. Still, I built this copter in Dec 2014 running SimonK on 3S and this is a HUGE upgrade.

    I think I may have stayed in DFU mode. Not sure. I re-flashed everything and tried it all again from scratch this morning and can get Tailtune to work all the way through the servo speed test.

    At any rate, I still can’t calibrate the ESCs. They don’t enter programming mode so I guess I have some research to do there. Otherwise the copter flies.

    I have purchased the Baby Tricopter electronics kit and having some trouble getting tail tune to work. In the build instructions David says to just shove the servo into the tail tilt mechanism. He doesn’t mention centering the servo.

    My transmitter is set up correctly and in Cleanflight I can see the proper stick movements from the transmitter.

    With USB disconnected and the copter powered, I can enter Tail Tune mode and hear the beep. However, when I roll left or right, the servo is hard over to the left and does not move. When I use yaw, the servo does not move. I can hear the servo humming but it does not move.

    Do I need to center this servo somehow?

    On a lark, I put props on. The copter flies. I just can’t use tailtune.

    I am also posting on FliteTest here:
