Still trying to fly my 4G1B!

With my FP & coax, I notice how much power I apply to get it to hover (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 full throttle), and as soon as I notice that I have to give much more than that, I stop. Usually low-voltage warnings are best used as a failsafe, and shouldn't be relied on to protect your battery.

Another thing that occurs to me is that you may have unscrewed/ moved the motor when trying to get the mast/ gear out, in which case you'll have to reset the gear mesh as that can sap a lot of power.

Thanks. Good thinking in the motor gears, I'll check. I'd imagine that it needs to be fairly tigh? Is there any hsrm in a touch of grease too?

Nope, it wants to be loose enough that you can feel a tiny bit of free play, so you can rock the main gear back and forth very slightly without turning the motor pinion. Too loose and it'll slip/ strip teeth, too tight and it'll sap power. No grease necessary.

Ok, thanks.
