Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP


ORIGINAL: God loves taildraggers

Im fairly new in helicopters and I bough a Blade a while back. Ive had plenty of succesful flights in my garage running the battery all the way down. I just noticed that when flying my Blade the led turned from green to red inflight. I landed the helicopter and when I looked the led was back to green. I not sure how or why this happened there is nothing in the instructions that say about the led turning red. Ive held my helicopter down and at about 80% of power the led turns red

Can someone try running thier helicopter with low battery and see what happens to the led
I've noticed that the red LED comes on whenever the throttle stick nears full, even with a fully charged battery. But, with a fully charged battery, you don't need anywhere near full stick to hover, so you typically only see the red LED when the battery is low and you start needing full stick to hover.
