DX8 First Flight w/ mCP-X In The Wind

Okay so I took it out again, and I think both motors are starting to get weak. With teh same settings as before, I had to use full collective to climb. Anymore pitch, and it would blow the tail out. Man that brushless with teh 120 tail is looking better and better lmao. Maybe I will do it without the frame for now... We will just have to wait and see. Oh, and yes I did take video, but it's not much fun watching the tail blow out and me crashing it, and having a hard time finding it lmao. I had to move the cyclic just to hear where it was hahaha. Oh well, we will have to see what we can get done.
 
just fyi.. 120 tail without BL is going to make your heli just so tail heavy and sluggish that you'll not like it. :)
 
The 300mah batteries will help, but I know what you are saying. If I get the 120 tail, the BL kit will be coming with it. Still not decided on teh frame although it's friggin cool lmao.
 
I would say its your batteries Tony, not the motors. I have noticed that from one new battery to one old, the heli is a totally different beast.
 
I was thinking the same thing. On the second light on teh stock charger (.02 amp I think, or is it .2?), it only takes about 10 minutes to charge. So, I think the batteries are getting tired. I may order 6 more of those Turnigy batteries, or just say the hell with it and get 6 of teh 500's. She should wake up when I get the 300mah 35c's though.
