New pilot and LOVING this sport...I got a New Axe 100cp about a month ago. Flies great but I am noticing it takes more and more power to stay in air. I am at max throttle setting on TX, but it takes about 70%-80% throttle to stay up. I have 4 bats and fly it almost every day. After a month or so is the motor just wearing out? I am a newb and have crashed it several time. Replaced 2 tail booms is only repairs. The blades are a little nicked up but no cracks or chuncks missing, (still oringinals) would that make that much a difference? All other controlls are fine. Also...I have seen on other threads that this is a copy of the Nine Eagles solo125. If so, can i swap out for a more powerful motor without having to go brushless and change anything else? Not gona mess with the 100ss model, My next heli will be.. BIGGER....ANY tips or hints are appreaciated. Thanks. (Oringinaly posted in wrong forum..sorry, new to this.)
