CP Pro inverted problem.

Ok, let me just list off some characteristics about the heli, in case.

CNC Bell/Hiller Head.
Pitch seems to be good, in negative, and in positive.
Main Gear mesh is good.
Tail is still responsive.
Stock 800mah LiPo.
Standard Eflite radio / programming.

Ok, once I roll it over or flip it over in inverted, even with full negative pitch, it's having a REAL hard time getting up in the air, in fact, I can barely keep it in a hover upside down, it just wants to drop out of the sky.

It will hover about 2 feet off the ground, but I cant really get it to raise in negative pitch.

Is this just a normal reality for a Pro with a lot of hours on it, or am I hitting a problem here?

Maybe, last Wednesday, it seemed to be fine (last time I was flying inverted, was trying funnels, no crashes, no serious damage or anything).

Anyone got ideas =/?

could be batt going, and if you got the money, i'd suggest getting brushless motor, with the stock motor and the CNC head, i doubt you'll have much power in the first place. i don't have the CNC head, got cf blades and 1050 lipo. i'm not flying inverted yet, learning while doing near stationary rolls (see the other post "inverted with a blade cp". you sure are good. how long did you have this heli? did you learn to go inverted with the blade? oh right, if you do go with a brushless system, i'd suggest getting the dd tail and a hh gyro... i don't have any of these. but will like to, if only i've got the money...

I've had it for more than 4-5 months, don't remember exactly when I bought it.

I spent upwards of 60 hours on Clearview and FS One on the CP and CP Pro models, I had it flying inverted in real life on the second pack, it was not so different from either simulator.

I guess I learned to go inverted on the blade, sort of, although I spent most of my simulator time upside down, and nose in, on purpose. I guess I will look into the Brushless, although maybe I will try another stock motor to see if it's the problem.

I absolutely hate when stuff stops working and I didn't even crash, I work so hard to keep it on the skids on the ground instead of the blades, and then random crap breaks for no reason - really irritating =/.

i think it's about time you upgrade to maybe a trex or something... you've gone to about the blade's limit. if your that good, i'd say get a better chopper and if you really want your blade to fly well after getting another chopper, THEN upgrade it.

and HOLLY!!! 2nd pack inverted? well, i had it about the same time as you, bought it mid july this year. learning to go inverted, can hold it about 2~3 sec before i chicken out. i don't have a sim, and money is a BIG thing. i just turned 15 and have to pay everything myself. i can do it on 'hanger 9' at my lhs, and can do it with the rig i built myself, just freak out when coming to the real thing.

maybe it's your CNC head that's too heavy? and recheck your pitch again, make sure that you have no more than 0 pitch in normal with trim and throttle down. check tracking... if everything is good, maybe ask someone to let you try their batt and see... but really, you might want a bigger/better chopper, caus everything you do one the blade, will be a walk in the park for the bigger ones.... at least that's what i've heard.
