I picked up a Axe CP 1 1/2 weeks ago. I've formerly flown a Blade CP and was getting into forward flight, but sold it to help pay for a move. I've always prefered the rigid chassis of the Axe over that of the Blade...so this time I picked up the Axe. I Charged up the batteries, installed the blades, ran her up and checked for level and all was good.
Within my first flight, the Gyro felt way off to me and I had to add a lot of right rudder - (not sure if thats the right term for heli's). I adjusted the trim for the rudder and that was good, but getting her to sit still was another challenge in flight. The tail can be a real pain to hold onto. I've adjusted the gain on the Gyro and that helped.
Now here is my current and continuing issue... During Flight, all will be good for a short period of time. I can bring her up to eye level and hold it rock solid in air. After, what seems to be a minute or less, it progressively becomes uncontrollable, ending with a landing and restart. After the first run, its controls just don't seem to come back.
I feel that its a battery/power issue, but sometimes its been hard to handle at first, then gets better.
When in air, a full push on the throttle and she will climb, but the tail can not keep up, no matter what my gains are.

The problems feel like POS electronics. Slow response, Gyro does what it wants, Battery power fluctuates, tail can not keep up with heavy rotation....so on. I can justify upgrading anything on it, when i could get an Align SA Chassis for just a bit more.

I never seemed to have any of these problem with my Blade and i'm curious, is this just the way these fly? I'm probably going to take her back if I don't find a solution by Monday. I'd rather just pay a bit more.
