Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

I've had a Blade a little more than a month. The problem is in a hover, when I input right nose to correct tail drift, she drops fast. Slammed the black top a few times. this has cost two tail booms and a set of carbon blades. Any idea what's going on?
OK not sure if you got an answer to this...And I have very little Exp with RC heli's (had a Blade for three weeks now), but some real world stick time

But I had sort of the same thing and this is what I guessed:
When you put in right nose it makes the anti torque motor on the tail spin faster. This causes a bigger draw on the battery and it slows the head speed down...That makes the heli drop a little. I also found that slowing the anti torque rotor made it jump up a little. I have found that Lipo's or a fresh battery makes this happen less.

Like I said, I could be WAY wrong. But it happens that way in a full scale heli...So it makes sense it could happen here as well.
