I figured out that I must have a bad cell in my pack. The heli flys with really good power for about 1 minute and then the power falls off almost like I am running on 8 cells... This could happen if a 10 cell pack has two bad cells in it that each will only take, say, 500ma of a 2000ma charge.

Anyway, here's a video of my second flight which I decided to go into FF with it as the next step in the test, even with the bad pack.

I am thinking about ordering the Thunder Power pack for this guy and also changing out some stuff to lighten the load.

Right now, as is, in the first minute, it has enough power to loop and roll and hover inverted. When I get a better pack, I'll do some aerobatics.

Jim!
