Recently I gradusted from coaxials to fixed pitch helicopaters. I purchased a Honey Bee FP and with many hours on a simulator and with the use of the training gear, I am finally able to hover somewhat. My problem is that originally the HBFP worked fine with plenty of oompf and lift but after a time it seems to be only able to hover maybe 5 or 6 feet off the ground and that is with a fresh battery after a minute or so it will ony hover for the duration of the battery life about a foot off the ground. I tried bending the pitch of the main rotor as outlined in the manual it helps but not much. I don't thiink it's the training gear because originally it flew just fine with the training gear on. Anybody had this problem or know the fix?

I found on my fp, the main motor was getting weak. I found they don't last very long

Check your blade tracking again. Had same problem, with standard blades, one crash and they are out. Get the tracking right again and should be ok. I thought the motor had started to give up as well, but was just the blades.
