Peter,

When you bank 90' left or right, the controls roll 90 degrees as well, therefore pulling back on the cyclic now pulls the heli around the turn. Once you exit the turn if you don't roll back level fast enough, coaxials lose altitude FAST! That's why I also recommended kicking the throttle up during the "pull-back" stage of the turn.

It's alot of stuff happening: Fast Forward Flying to roll 90 degrees, throttle-up & pull back (complete turn), roll out level continuing to FFF.
All I can say is PRACTICE> PRACTICE> PRACTICE!

I thought those AIRY HARDEN II blades were supposed to be NUKE PROOF! Is it cold where you fly? I saw the video on Youtube of a LamaV3 repeatedly being crashed into a concrete wall, with no blade damage. Another of a guy striking the blade over & over again with an aluminum bar, then bending them into a "G" shape.
What do you mean you keep breaking blades?[] That's not right, defective blades!?[:'(]
