I believe now that it's going to be my esc. I tried going back to the older firmware to reprogram my esc and now I can reset my throttle to linear and can start hovering for 5-10 seconds before it drops again. So I'm getting closer to fixing this problem. Hey Baurwin, what is LVC and what did you do to fix your problem?
ur lvc is ur low voltage cutoff. its when your esc sences that your battery is dropped too low on volts and starts shutting down the motor..ie..dropping the headspeed. if you have the lvc set to high, it will go into lvc very quickly, it needs to be set to low. also, since you have the cc, check your pwm settings. i believe you would want that set around 8. if i recall correctly at 8 and 16 my heli performs well, but over that, and it starts performing poorly. make sure you have no brake, and no gov. mode.
i cant remember for certaing what my problem was, but it sounds exactly the same. it would hover for about 15 sec then i would lose the headspeed and it would come down. it was definately in the esc though. i wanna say it was the lvc setting, but may have been one of the other settings...??
it just sounds like the lvc, so thats where i would look first.
