RE: losing altitude
I'm not familiar with that heli but as a rule helis are sensitive to the wind, even a breeze for some. The main rotor is an air foil, with a wind the lift increases, when it stops the heli drops. Constant attention needs to be given to all parameters of control: lift, elevation, roll, and rudder.

Bad battery? motor? Not enough power allowed in radio or enough pitch if a CP helicopter If it was a radio transmission problem it would go ape. Wind will make it balloon up more than down.
