hello i was having this problem before i added the shrink tubing. the tubeing has helped greatly with the glitching problem since all the wires are seperate and away from the power source, it helps. as far far as the pitch goes i use a proper pitch guage.

you are probibly right about the weight though. i think i can lighten it up a bit but not much.

I know a brushless will help alot but im wondering why the stock motor cant lift the stock heli? any thoughts on this?
