losing lift/rpm during flight
I have an XR-1 (areohawk copy). Lately, I can lift off, then begin losing rpm, and therefore lift. Land for just a bit, then lift-off and repeat. I had this problem before, and found that a bearig on the main shaft had moved up, and was touching the collar I installed to stop the main shaft from floating up and down. I re-seated the bearing, and flew great for a while. Now the symptoms have returned, but the bearing is staying put. I am flying on a 1320 mah 2cell lipo that I have flown probably 10 times before. Had this not happened before, I would think my battery was losing voltage. But I'm thinking its a mechanical problem. ANy ideas?

RE: losing lift/rpm during flight
I think that you should not risk putting your expensive and potentially dangerous lipo battery in such a poorly made piece of junk like the aerohawk.
Bad motor most likely. Dont waste your time or money buying another motor for this worthless aircraft. Go brushless and go something like TREx..
