Blade CP Pro lose altitude during hover
I have Blade CP Pro. During hover everytime I move the cyclic little bit, the heli lose altitude, the motor sounds like kind of losing power. I have to center the stick all the time then the heli hover fine. What seems to be the problem, is it main motor, battery or the 3-in-1 electronic?

I read somewhere on another thread that using cyclic adds a load to the motor and the headspeed goes down, then that makes you loose altitude.

RE: Blade CP Pro lose altitude during hover
With a heli in "hover", the column of air is basically pushed down. If you move the cyclic, the column of air is tilted and no longer has the same downward force as it did when it was pushing straight down. This will cause the heli to lose altitude.
In a real helicopter, if you pitch forward, backward, etc... you have to add collective to keep from losing altitude.
Now, that's not to say you're seeing something more drastic, and maybe your motor is really crapping out... but tilting the cyclic can cause a heli to lose lift.

probably just the pitch curve below half throttle - it may be banging the top or bottom stops vauseing the servos to bind and pull juice from the motor
if the servos are pushing so hard to pull power from the motor, either the servos are bound up hitting something or the batt or charger is getting low
check your pitch on the rotors with a pitch gauge and check out what its doing
