Hello,
I have a CCW main rotor and a motor driven tail. Tail motor is mounten on the left side of the tail boom and is rotating CW to push the air to the left side.
When main rotor winds up the nose starts to turn to the right but tail motor isn‘t starting to stop the nose moving. When nose is turned to the left, the tail motor starts to spin up (wrong direction).
If tail stick is pushed to the right (nose to turn right) the tail motor starts to spin up (wrong direction because it will make force to turn nose to left). If tail stick is moved to left, no tail motor spin up.

So this means, that tail motor is completly working in wrong direction like for a CW main rotor.

The CCW switch is on in expert settings.

I checked it with a servo connected to CH4. The switch for CCW/CW in expert settings does not have any influence to the servo direction when moving the model (turning the nose left and right). Only the servo direction switch in Servo settings has influence to the servo direction when moving the model.
When servo is switched to motor for tail (in expert settings), then the connected servo goes to end position which is "0" for the tail motor ESC (and the servo direction in Servo Settings is switched on and greyed which is necessary for the ESC functionality). But there is no other possibility to control the spin up of the tail motor when model is moved and it is fixed to spin up when nose goes to the left (which is in my case the wrong direction). So I think there is a switch needed or the CW/CCW switch in expert settings could be used for this.

Kind regards

Michael
