Help! Honey Bee CP2

Hi guys,need help the rotor head runs too slow , causing eratic cyclic control , how do I increase the rotor speed without changing the pitch which is correct , the radio only has adjustments for servo reverse.I can't seem to find anyway to increas the power to the head , as it is running too slow.Also the red light comes on after hovering for 30 seconds , then the head speed slows , and the cyclic controls hardly work?
regards,
Dave.

Shorten up the links that attach to the blade grips. You will loose maximum pitch, but lessen it in the middle for more headspeed. The red light comes on because your batteries are not putting out enough juice. If they are lipo's they have been over discharged(never go past 85% discharged)

Sounds like a low batt if you over-discharged it you need a new batt. Get a lipo alarm to let you know when you have a low batt. If it's a 11.1 volt 3s you can't go below 9 volts. The only way to change your head speed is to change your pinion gear on the motor. I think those come with a 8t go 9 or 10t to increase head speed if that's the problem, but the way you described it I put my money on the batt. If it's a ni-cad it's not full charged or defective. But you didn't say what type of batt it was so i'm guessing. Keep it in the air---Vernski
