e-Hirobo SRB Quark - Lepton - XRB Coaxial > tail drifting after about a minute?

when i fly my xrb wireless on a full charge it flys great, nice and steady. but after about a minute the tail begins to drift, is this because the battery is running down or should i adjust the angle screws to correct?

this happens when I use my brother's tethered version also. My guess is that the motors "warm" up unevenly thus changing the trim.

Carefully go through the trimming procedure for the A blades. Also check the rudder neutral position on the ground. The voltage drop after one minute shouldn't be causing your problem.

Both of my XRB helis do this - the SR and the Tether. The Tether is much worse about it. My SR needs very little trim on rudder after 1-2 mins of flying. The tether needs up to 10 clicks during the flight as the heli warms up more and more.

My personal theory is that the electronics (gyro/mixer) are warming up from motor heat and causing the drift.

All of this happens regardless of the tuning of blade pitch angles. But it is still very important to tune your pitch angle. I would do this (and all other trimming/tuning) after the heli has warmed up.
