Goosky S1 tail spinning
I got a new S1 and a S2 Legend. I wanted to get back into helis after quite a few years off. I also got a radiomaster tx 15 and a wanted to learn rotoflight. So I flew the S1 a bit but it started spinning after a second or 2. So I have to put it down. The S2 I have flown the crap out of. So much I got another one when they were on sale just so if I do crash it I don't have to wait to get back in the air. Then I bought an OMP M4 because... Well I am addicted again.
But back to the original problem. I replaced the tail motor on the S1 in case it was having a short or something. And no the tail blade is not on backwards. They are keyed. But still same problem. Asked HeliDirect where I got it and they send out a new ESC board. But that didn't work. Now I don't know if it is the controller board? But I also found somewhere that can be an issue with j batteries that have a bad cell. I don't think it is that because I have multiple batteries and it can't be them all? I haven't changed the control board because I am not really wanting to keep throwing money at it if this is a common thing.
I am honestly thinking about just buying the OMP M1V3 Pro. But don't want to have a $200 dollar paperweight S1 either. But after the M4 I am impressed with OMP. But I like the look of the Goosky helis much better.... Anyway. Is this a normal S1 problem?
