View Full Version : Blade CX Looses Altitude When Pirouetting

It's understandable that as one rotor (motor) slows down to permit the Blade CX to rotate either right or left in its axis that the heli would loose a certain amount of lift and would require more throttle to maintain elevation, but looks like the ESC would compensate by increasing the RPM's of the other motor to maintain a constant elevation rather than causing the heli to almost hit the ground during turns and pirouetting.
This seems to be an ongoing issue with my CX. Is this normal or do I have a problem here?

I have the same problem with my Hirobo XRB, when the battery is somewhat low.

The CX will either lose or gain altitude when pirouetting, depending on the direction you are turning. When the CX turns, it either slows a blade down or speeds a blade up (depending on the direction) causing it to lose or gain altitude!!

When it starts to lose altitude, just give it more throttle to compensate. They all lose turning 1 way and gain the other way. Normal.
