View Full Version : CP quits flying before battery is even 1/2 gone.

I've upgraded my Blade CP to the eflite dual esc/bec for both motors and seperate rx, g9 gyro.

The heli is so much more stable now that I have it dialed in. Now the problem I'm encountering is that if I hover for more than a couple minutes and land, then it wont act right to take off again. It may spool up rapidly even with smooth throttle, or it may only get going about 1/4 throttle and not give any more no matter how much collective I give it. The problem goes away when I let it set for about 30 minutes or more and fly again. I'm assuming it's probably a heat issue but nothing seems hot and if something where I wouldn't know what to do as the ambient temp is 60 and I'm flying without the canopy.

Any suggestions?

Possibly a bad battery that cannot provide the amps necessary after being flown for a while.

ah, it's one of those 11.1v 1300mah from helidirect.com. Only like 21-22$ for it so I thought it would be a much better deal than the 800mah eflite one. My elite usually takes back about 650-700 mah when the heli starts acting this way.
