Yah!!! I got the Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Back!!
Thanks to Mr. Choppers and everybody for the tips and advice. So my CPP poor lift/hover with symmetricals problem was due to a failing main motor (duh!!) I’m pretty new to this game and guess I didn’t realize how fast these little motors can wear out. I was flying up to 4-6 packs a day! Also, I think my spindle was bent, but not sure how much as I burned in hard just before I replaced the main motor.
Anyway, I took Dave’s advice and installed a 370 10 tooth main motor. It really gets the head speed up. Almost seems to over-speed at times in idle up so I turned down the idle up mid-point adjustment. The HS-55’s are working good, though they are always bumping up and down just a little bit. I’m gona p/u some contact cleaner for the TX and see if I can get it to stop.
Still getting her tuned perfectly, but it’s getting close. Flew into the wind and light mist today. Hoping to hit the ball fields at the park tomorrow.
Here are some pics. I got a little crazy with yellow pin stripping on the canopy one day when I was bored at work. It actually helps a lot when the visibility is low. See ya, Onad

Onad,
4-6 packs a day for a month, you're probably due for a new motor. Try a 370 motor with a 10 tooth pinion, I know they say don't, but I did for the longest time and nothing detremental ever occured. The plus side of the 10 tooth is that you'll gain some head speed too.
Also, if your running a stock transmitter, you'll have to make the wiring change on the HS-55 servos, they turn in the opposite direction of the Stock S75's.
