I started doing some aerobatics with the Nano. Some flips and loops.

Was finally able to successfully complete a few loops. It's just during these maneuvers the Nano bogs down, barely able to finish the maneuver.

This is while running 180 mah 45C Eflite batteries with a fresh charge.

What is this symptomatic of?

Weak main motor...

Consider the brand new design 8mm motor from MMW...or the HH brushless upgrade...

Or at best, a double brushless outrunner conversion running BLHeli

Have a spare main motor, bought in anticipation of this inevitability. Ordered up new MMW motors, and pinion puller earlier today (prior to this thread).

I just finished building my HH BL Nano with Lynx components. Just had a quick maiden flight tonight. Flys nice. Dispensed with the harness and direct soldered the power leads to the board. I will probably end up soldering the tail and motor control leads to the board for a more solid connection. Big difference going from Normal mode to IU1. On the brushed Nano the change was not that dramatic.

Any suggestions on changing the settings for the HH BL installation?

Still waiting for some more parts to come in, mostly the Airtime landing gear, and that will finish it out!

If the tail blows out, reduce pitch servo travel...

Use something a bit less than 100 flat in IU Mode...maybe even a bit of a V-curve to help the tail hold

If all else fails, a 7mm tail motor will keep it in line
