Well Peter if I may ask, could a weak battery cause these problems? My battery is only allowing me to fly for about 3-4 min almost wide open or atleast 75-80%power just to fly. NO ONE has a battery in my area. I'm waiting on a new battery via. mail. Could a weak battery cause my problems with my flight. I have a 6inch flybar but same problems as before. Is it that I can not keep my rotor head speed up? Like I said I push forward and it goes forward then flares up noseward then wants to go backwards. I can fly backwards great but not forwards much only in small distances. It goes a little bit then stops with the cyclic pushed all the ways forward. I let off the cyclic and then its lunges backwards stops then hovers perfectly still? could it be the battery I have cant keep up with all the demands of what I'm aksing of it? I'm not used to a coax heli. the last heli I owned was a Piccolo and I'm used to just pushing the cyclic forward and doing gun runs? thats what I'm trying to do and it won't do it? I want it to fly 50 feet forward, spin it around and fly back but it wont even do that? just flys forward's about 20 feet then stalls out. I know it's not a single rotor head but out of the box it would fly forward until i stoped it now it just wants to stall when I push it forwards after a few feet. The tail drops bad and it noses up.
Hey again mate,
It is possible I suppose![sm=50_50.gif] But more than likely it is just out of adjustment[sm=72_72.gif] due to heavy landings during the learning stages of your journey[sm=omg_smile.gif] From your detailed description, it
does sound like the flybar is fighting hard and winning the battle
- it seems to bring the bird under its control after only a "small distance". If it was only the lipo amps are low (leading to shorter flight times
) there wouldn't be much of a leap from sudden throttle increase......you could always test out that theory - carefully!
It is true that the single-rotor FPs don't have the coax probs - but (I assure you
) they have their own set of probs.........

P.S. Just a thought: Have you adjusted the top link so the upper blades while spinning form one "plane"??
