Hi!

I'm another newbie thats recently FINALLY gotten everything to click and the hang of nose-in hovering w/ the Blade CP (after many tries and 3x crashed in an indoor 8'x8' area). I've recently noticed something an I wanted to check w/ the experts on this but I'm running the stock NiMh batteries and the heli hovers eaisly above ground effect and ok in ground effect when I'm flying on fresh batteries. As I get near the end of my flight time, it seems that the heli is much harder to control laterally. I can usually hold a steady hover at full batteries but I feel like I'm riding a wild boar when the battery dies down towards the end.

So my question is, is this normal? I'm guessing as the battery drains, the discharge pattern is not longer constant so I'm getting fluctations in the rotor headspeed. Either that or I haven't mastered the hover properly yet and still overcorrecting? I'm currently trying to get a completely steady hover from liftoff to landing before taking off the training gears! Any pointers/help on this would be appreciated, thanks!
