Hi all just another madman who decided to get into rc helis,
Hopefully somebody can help with a small prob i have with my Sabre.
It will not lift at full power then all of a sudden it lifts, batts are ok somebody told me it may be a build up of carbon in the main motor, has anyone heard of this problem before, thanks for any help

Welcome to the forum Nick.

Just wondering what pitch and throttle settings your running and whether you ve got pitch/throttle interactions??

Welcome Nick.

As above. sounds like pitch / throttle settings.

Not familiar with the Sabre but if the motor is running ok & it's twitchy around lift-off then the curves are a good place to start.

Not familiar with the Sabre but it sounds like the hovering pitch controls on your tx. The standard tx doesn't have anything fancy on it in order to change the curves, have you got any dials on the front of your tx. If so make sure they are centered before you spool up. If they are there they act like pitch curves around centre stick.

Just had a look at sabre on line.. Fixed pitch blades so no issue with settings etc.. Just wondering if there is any binding of the servos. There is a collective pitch rod.. if thats sticking or binding i imagine it might cause the fault?

Thanks all for your info however i brought a new main motor today for £8.99 put it in and she is up in the air again all ok,as the shop assistant said it appears to be a build up of corbon in the motor.
Has anyone got any ideas as to why i cant get the Blade 400 off the shelf.
I have just ordered one through Hobby stores on the net but they are out of stock and dont seem to know when anymore are coming into country, has anybody else had this problem. cheers
