The other day, we did a few flights in "Acro" mode, one using 4S LiPo and the other with 6S LiPo. The Tricopter was running 1-shot settings (throttle calibrated) on the 4-in-1 ESC with YAW & ROLL P / I settings that are about half of stock. All "D" settings were firmware defaults.
Note: Normally run D-Shot 1200 but tried 1-Shot to see if it made any difference. (It didn't)
Performed an inflight Tailtune on 4S but from what we understand it failed as we didn’t hear the nice beeps just a simple double beep at the end. Beyond this, the Tricopter felt very loose / sloppy in the turns as if the I-term was too low. (corrected this by raising it)
However, Tailwag is a chronic issue (see video's) that doesn't seem to improve no matter what Firmware settings or hardware we've attempted. Thus far we've tried two different flight controllers, 2 different motors types (verified balance within 0.001% gyro deviation @ 50% throttle), three different digital Gyros (with feedback wire) and a whole assortment of 5" propellers.
**Any advice that can be given would be greatly appreciated!**
Tricopter Baby, 4S LiPo
Note: Flight starts off with Tailtune so there is about a minute of hovering about. The Tailwag is readily apparent both in hover and in flight.

Tricopter Baby, 6S LiPo
Note: 6S flight felt much more stable and locked in than the previous flight, however i forgot to tailtune it for 6S.
