Sounds like a pitch problem. Unplug the motors from the 3-in-1 and check you pitch at half stick. it should be @ 0 pitch or even 1 degree positive. If it's negative adjust the control arms on the head, not the servos. Make sure both are equal and check the blade tracking after your done, be careful.

ok i did that and i think the pitch is ok the back of the blade is slightly lower than the front of the blade is that right?
the guy i got it from said he had burnt up the 4 in one by not killing power in a crash could this have burnt the motor too?

Do you have a pitch gauge? If not they are worth the investment of around $10. And a two cell battery is not enough power to lift the helicopter up. Did you get a 3 cell with the helicopter.

RE: help with cp
no i don't have a pitch gauge but i will pick one up and i only got a 9.6v 650mah ni-mh battery that came with it and all so in the book it said that i could use a 2c li-po but others have told me it would not work so i will get a 3c li-po
