4G3 2.9g tail motor stopped working
While in the middle of a hover, my 2.9g tail motor stopped spinning. If I disconnect the main motor, I can hear the tail motor "chirping" and at certain throttle positions it will move the blades back and forth a bit, and sometimes spin them a couple of rotations.
Just wondering what I should be looking for, or if it just sounds like a bad motor.

Sounds like its binding, the bearings may be binding up. Usually, just replace it. They are like $8.

It spins over by hand the same as it always has. I was figuring on replacing it, but thought I'd ask for feedback first, this is a $25 brushless outrunner, unless there is someplace that has them cheaper.

No prob. Just bought a used 4G6 so I'll actually have two helis in case one breaks, LOL.
