Blade CX (Vortex) is out of control.
Before I explain my Heli’s problem, I want to tell you a little about my Vortex…
First, I’m a beginner at RC Helicopter flying so I can only Hover and do some Pirouettes.
I haven’t flown the heli outside, it has been to cold and windy.
This Helicopter is a stock Vortex 37 with these parts added…
- Blade CX Model 1 Pro carbon fiber boom with a aluminum tail fin by Stersman
- Micro Antenna
- E-Flight Blade CX yellow canopy
I also removed the 4-in-1 case and made holes in the canopy for cooling.
Now, the problem I’m having with this Heli is…
I finally got to fly in a warehouse so I got a little more confident. I flew nose in and some figure eights, but very slow. Everything was great so far.
Flying a little faster, the Heli got out of control. I had no control after the Heli just kept going backwards, to the right and DOWN. I tried to compensate by giving Throttle/Forward/Left stick but nothing seem to happened, like the servo or something was sticking, but after checking, nothing seemed to be sticking.
The problem seems more likely with large movements of the Elevator/Aileron controls and faster flight. I have no problem hovering.
I believe this problem happened a couple of times even before the above mods.
Didn’t think nothing about it at the time because I thought it was pilots error.
Maybe Multi Rotor Heli’s fly like this and it is Pilot’s error.
I’d appreciate any help.
