Anyone with help, (W37) I'm new of course, got my heli up and crashed. Found this thread and got tons of information. Plan on doing upgrades but I figure I'll crash a few times first and earn my keep. I got new parts and she just doesn't have the lift as before. I tethered it to the table and after playing with the pitch got her to pull like it would lift like no tomorrow, stable even, I held the training balls off the table while tied down. Then I decide to bring it outside with no change and all it will do is spin up and barely get enough lift to turn direction or lean. It will throttle up like crazy and sounds like something but won't get the lift needed. At about 60-70% sounds smooth but no lift. When I add more throttle the sound of the blades change to a deep wooo-wooo-wooo sound. Is this too much pitch? Now, the glitches as mentioned many times in this thread, twice it has throttled up uncontrollably with no input from my TX. Plug it in and gyro initializes and then ZOOOM! Was kinda scary second time, I had just tied it down for a test (been testing on and off all day no problems) when it did it the second time. My questions are: Is this just glitches or is something burning up that I need to change before it costs me? The pitch gauge, there is so much play between the main rotors and the flybar how can you accurately measure? Do you hold the flybar up? Everyone's videos of their W37's in this forum move exactly as mine does. Hoping for some info on this and I hope this helps me and some others out. Thanks, DRhodesWS PS. Sorry for being long-winded.
