    Status: offline     		Commander_Bob,

    Just make sure that the throttle and throttle trim are both all the way down. As, Psikelly, stated it will blink 4 or 5 times before it becomes a solid green..

    The blinking process is a way that the Transmitter and Receiver talk to each other to make sure every thing is okay between the two.

    Also, make sure that the servo reversing switches on the transmitter are in the right position. It should be in the manual.

    I have a CP, not the Pro, so it could be different than mine.

    Hope we helped,

    Dave / Choppersrule

    Status: offline     		I checked the throtle and trim and normal mode switch and nothing. I think im going to send it back to Horizon Hobby because it is still under warrienty.

    Status: offline     		slow, alternating red/green blinking usually means that the receiver can't 'hear' any signal from the TX. If you have good batteries in the TX, and all green lights are on, and you have re-seated the crystals, then you probably have one of the following:

    - A bad TX
    - A bad crystal
    - A bad receiver

    If you can find someone at the LHS or similar with a BCP who will try their crystals and/or TX with your heli to test it, you should be able to narrow it down pretty quickly.

    Hope you get it working soon...

    Status: offline     		I got mine and it flies awesome....I'm a begginer (my only experience was 3 weeks on a Blade CX 2 times per day and 4 weeks in a simulator) and started flying my BCPP w/o training gear and now I'm hovering, FWD flight, but not stunt yet.

    Also I got a new Landing Gear that looks great and adds some stability.

    Status: offline     		I was flying my heli the other day and was doing some fast forward flight from one side of the yard to the other....well....as i got to the end i swooped up really fast and then gave it a lot of power to go straight up and then back down....when i gave it full power it started to twitch and eventually crashed, and now when i power it up all it does it twitch.....IM pretty sure my 3-1 is toasted but wanted to see if anyone else has had this experienc.

    Status: offline     		Got my Pro last week, its my first heli, zero experience but things are coming along nicely. Im finding that 18 min batt times are norm while just hovering and I managed to get it in a stable (3min) hover in my garage after following Radds program. 4 days after I got it i took it outside to hover higher and crashed, only broke one blade and had already ordered the Plasti Blades so I only had one day down. Put the new blades on today and they work great, tracking is only off slightly and it only seems to be on the part of the blade rotation over the tail boom. Hmmm, no big deal, hovers solid about a foot off the ground so my lesson learned was take it a bit slower and be happy hovering in your garage for a while. Cant wait to master this thing, still ironing out some very minor trim and proportion problems but this thing is great. For those interested, the Plasti blades do help with stabiity. I was wondering if anyone has put the HL gyro on how much it improves tail stability over stock, both hovering and in FF.

    Status: offline     		Maybe your problem is that the gyro of the 3-in-1 is set too high, try to lower the gain a bit and try again.... The manual, tells you how to do it!.... Hope this hint can help you!!

    Status: offline     		Hi guys! I bought my BCPP a few week ago and am wondering how to get into forward flight. I have no experience in forward flight (except for the sim), and I am wondering what is the best way to learn.

    Status: offline     		Very slowly. Im doing FF in my basement. I now have a 10 x 16 foot space to fly in,(mostly hovering) But I can also do some FF and reverse flight. Just push forward a TINY bit at a time. If you try go too fast its easy to lose control. The heli will also tend to drop a bit if you go too fast. But go really slow as if the heli is just drifting forward and youll be safe. Once youre compfortable with this then speed up a bit at a time. Before you know it youll be speeding right along
