Default RE: My CX wont hover


ORIGINAL: minitman

When I fly my cx it wont stay at a altitude. It keeps going up and down and up and down. And it keeps drifting any ideas on how to make it work?
Not to sound flippant, but this sounds like fairly normal Micro heli behaviour.

Due to their lower mass Micro helis tend to be all over the place and the pilot has to anticipate this and compensate.

To hover the CX you have to be constantly working the controls with slight anticipatory movements.

Getting to the point that you do this without thinking is the hard part.

Once you do, you make all of the fine adjustments so well and quickly that you are barely aware that you are making them...

... as you would in riding a bike.

My CX does exactly as you state, but I have no problems holding it in a VERY steady hover.
