my blade seems to be losing power.. what I mean is lately I'm getting shorter flight times and having to give it more stick to hover Also see my other post) could it be I just need to replace the motor? I do have 3 batteries and they all seem to perform the same..

Also try trimming up your throttle tab

Savage 40,

Put the thottle trim all the way up, it controls not only head speed, but pitch of the blades. If you're still having the same problem, it may be time to get a new 10 dollars motor. Motors can last as long as 100 hours of flight or 10. Hmmm, what a difference. Part of the heli world. Expect weird thing to happen.

also be aware that if your blades are less than perfect it will increase drag. This symptom can behave almost exactly like a dieing/less power in a motor.

Change the motor! They're ten bucks! Takes ten minutes.

Be sure to stick a piece of paper, copy, typing, whatever, between the gears and make sure there is not an out of round portion that binds, or misses engagement.

it was the motor.. changed it and away we go! thanks guys.

Wanna make your blade CP pro RAD....give it a viper 3d fireball motor. It gives it jam like a trex. not the control, but the speed.
