Default Do flat blades need more power?

I just installed a pair of flat bottom rotors on my CP Pro and it wouldn't even come off the ground. I moved the control links to give it more pitch and it will now fly but it seems to take more power to get it moving. Hover is just over 3/4 throttle and the red light is on constantly while flying. Is this normal? Also what can I not do with the flat blades verses the stock blades other than inverted flight? (Can I still do a quick loop?)
Thanks
Guy
